    Bernice is this the first time this plant has ever produced this strange critter? Do you bring it in during the winter?

    Yes, this is the first time chicken hands have appeared. It is kept outside all winter, I am surprised it hasnt frozen and cracked, so this winter I will put it in the shed.He still has his hands up...I will take a picture when they fall. I cant imagine they will keep up like that. That other cactus, the century plant picture i posted, , I havent checked on yet, but probably when the cold weather comes and it freezes, then it will just plop. And these also. Pretty interesting now tho.

    Can't you bring it inside for the winter? If they do fall off it will be interesting to see if they reappear next year!!

    chicken hands update..Susan S Sharron W Sherri Curtis SheilaG, Plum Doodles Dee W Douglas Hunt Jeanette S Well chicken hands is still holding his hands upright, maybe you are right Doug, dont bring the weed whacker too close, but they are skinny, dry and sickly looking. I expect them to fall down any time.A good frost or wind..the wind we are having today, but he is still hanging in there. I touched one and it is very dry and weak..i'll let you know!

    well, I'm glad to hear old chicken hands is hanging on! Kind of reminds me of watching Frosty on tv- I was always sad to see him go, even knowing he would be back next snow. :(

    Awwww I'm glad to hear ol eggbert is still holding up, (his hands) LOL... apparently those are the "runners" from a Hen and chick cause I planted some in an indoor pot and that is what they did reaching for light from the window.... maybe your's finally got too crowded and she was looking for a place to put out new roots....

    Having a filter does nothing but filter, it has no effect on the clarity of water. If you are in sun, especially a warmer area like AZ or FL or actually anywhere, you need a UV light to kill the bacteria and as much of the algae as you can. Are you over feeding? <grin>

    Opps, was it you asking about clarity, or did I post in the wrong place. I am new to Hometalk. Sorry!
