          I won one last November in a raffle. It had lots of promising buds ... which promptly fell off once I had it home. I'm going to put it down to the stress of moving house :heehee:

          I'd quite like it to flower this year though, so I've got a good 9mths to get it back into good health. Any tips would be much appreciated :blue thumb:

          I'm certainly no expert with plants but I feed mine occasionally with houseplant food or liquid seaweed. I don't water it too much. I was told that they actually like being pot bound, although I don't know if this is true. My cactus has been in the same pot for several years, I just changed the compost. It flowers twice yearly and is smothered in flowers each time. Good luck with it :)
