Also open to non-members, but members get first chance and a 30% discount.

How much are you watering? It's hard to tell much from the photos, except that the Aloes / Agaves at the end look very dehydrated. If you are using containers with no drainage holes, it's tricky to get the amount of moisture correct. Too wet, they get waterlogged and rot / damp off. Too dry and they...

Is there any chance the photo for the 2024 AGM could be changed?

Hi all, I agree with Akko re the paper idea and fleece, also I think that bubble wrap is ineffective after a few hours and can cause condensation. If only a small collection I move the sensitive ones inside, and my heater cuts in at 3C. This raises my 12x10 ghouse up to 4 or 5 C, then it’s set to c...
