    Another idea for protecting my plants!!

    I think fleece would shut out too much light. Would be fairly easy to lift the cloches & wipe them over, but yes it could be a problem with cactus!:scratch: Val

    Gasteria verrucosa is not going to be hardy. I really doubt it.

    Lidl Cactus

    Sal, If you keep Aloe striatula dry in winter, you will probably keep it going. I find it usually dies back if it gets wet.

    blooming for one day only

    I'd hazard a guess at Echinopsis Mira, usually night blooming, (opens in the evening and last the following day if kept in the shade), some are scented.
