I also have a plant labelled tylecodon ventricosus DT6144b East Garies that doesn’t look anything like this. Looking at google images of the species it does seem pretty variable though. IMG_9314.jpeg The other thought I had was t. hirtifolium, but my plant of that has much thicker, more succulent le...

Thanks for your reply Tom. I also grow t. striatus, and had always assumed the name comes from the slightly streaked pattern on the stems. I guess it's actually the thin leaves with a groove down the middle?

This one a very recent purchase. Labelled as t. striatus but I’m 99% sure that’s not the case. Stem reminds me of wallichii, which I’ve been looking for for ages, but again I don’t think it’s that.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could be a small grandiflorus now I think about it.

Thanks very much Derek. I was surprised last year quite how much water it would take and also how sad it looked when it was dry. I’ll do as you suggested. Cheers, Ian

Hi all, I had some problems keeping this plant upright last year as it grew new leaves. I had to stake it up all through the winter as it had a tendency to sag badly as soon as it dried out a bit.

Stunner!

Lovely plants - I have a couple of much smaller f.edulis. One I'm leaving to its own devices and one I plan to trim off the new taproot growth each year to see if I can keep the caudex fatter and rounder. A bit of an experiment. I'll take a look to see if my handiwork has done anything sometime next...

I have a similar problem with water seeping in under the structure and have seen small amounts of water getting in through gaps in the roof during very heavy rain. I did consider getting out the sealant gun and trying to stop these issues but haven't got around to it as of yet.

I’ve got a 3kw Simply Control fan heater with the fan on continuously all year round and a cylindrical fan hanging in the roof, plus in the winter I’ve an old Parwin heater as an extra fan at ground level which just works as a fan. In a 10x8 greenhouse I’ve got a phoenix fan heater connected to a t...

A related question- what sort of fans are people using for air circulation? Size, number, rpm etc?
