"How to Prune a Money Tree to Keep the Leaves Low to the Twisted Trunk Without the Long Stems1 Snip back stems just in front of a leaf or node to remove length. Cut no more than 1/3 of a stem and snip it at a 45 degree angle to promote new growth.2 Cut out dead twigs to keep the money tree...

I would water mine quite often (daily probably) and it was going brown/squidgy so we stopped watering it as often, I do it once a week now and it seems to have done the trick! All normal again.

I had to google that Puya - spectacular! I'm growing Puya coerulea var. violacea and P.mirabilis. They germinate easily but seem to take ages to get going. Then suddenly they're off.

Keith, the third and fourth plants on the right hand tray are Echeverias.

35F as a nightime minimum? If so, I'm sure you could grow many types of Opuntia, just avoid the ones that come from the tropics.

Yep just renewed my own membership costs just £15 which includes the quarterly journal but not the yearly book, I also attend local monthly meetings

i want one :D

I accidently knocked some stems off my Christmas cactus recently (too many people partying round my house!!), I put them in a glass of water on the window sill. They're got a few little roots now so I'll plant them up properly. I prefer to do it this way cos I can see what's happening.

YnneadI have three and just use multi compost. As @pete says, mine live outdoors permanently but I do lose leaves in the Winter, although I don't get frost or even get near zero.Jatropha multifida

I've just seen this thread, and my curiousity was piqued by the name of the plant, i.e. Senecio Curio Articulatus. It seems the taxonomists have been having a field day, with this one. Some years ago, when I grew C&S, I knew this as Kleinia articulata, which at some point became Senecio...

Why do you think it's diseased @Victoria ? There's a raised coloured pattern on the leaves and the flowers are going over but I thought some of them still looked all right. They are on a long spike..

I'll stick with them, I agree they all seem to look alike at that stage.

Lower leaves going limp is a sign that they've too much water.

Cousin Itt has been moved to the North side now from the East side as Itt was getting in the way of my chair in the corner ...

Just to report that when I examined one on my supermarket trip this morning, it'd clearly been given quite a clever two-tone spray paint job. The natural green was visible where a bit of paint had flaked off underneath!

Here's another photo taken today, to show how much happier it is looking after some extra watering - amazing how quickly the leaves have straightened up and got greener and plumper and shinier. Many thanks to @Selleri and @pete for your good advice!

I am thinking it is the A urbicum. Aeonium urbicum (Saucer Plant) - World of Succulents I will put it down in The Jungle Room with the dark one I have.

Hi @43576 Michael’s I.D. looks spot on to me

All I can say is, if you will root cuttings at totally the wrong time of the year. You deserve all you get.
