Re: Wi-Fi Thermometer
30m to the greenhouse is good. Clear or obstructed?

Re: Idetification help please
I would say Faucaria tuberculosa, because of the tubercules. But I think some lump the 2 together anyway.

I'm wondering if the fork in the trunk is due to the growing point being damaged in a previous winter?

Re: Huge trichocereus terscheckii plus flowering agave in inherited Essex garden
Fantastic, Paul, and planted straight into the topsoil by the looks of it! :grin: I'd love to know more his dad's interest in these plants, where he sourced them, and if he was aware of the BCSS. I do wonder how many people out there are growing cacti and succulents without knows of the society's e...

Re: Huge trichocereus terscheckii plus flowering agave in inherited Essex garden
Popped round this morning. Very interesting. The son who has now inherited the house reckons it has been in the ground since 2001-ish. Few other interesting things as well - big old clumps of Aristaloe aristata and an echeveria, couple of Opuntia santa-rita or similar and Opuntia elata. Plus of cour...

Re: Huge trichocereus terscheckii plus flowering agave in inherited Essex garden
Ray, you are right it's not bad at all. Conflicting things happen there - on the good side, being a small island it is surrounded by water and therefore benefits from the warming effect of the sea. On the bad side much of the island is below sea level and cold air can pool. So it is a bit of a mixed...

Re: Huge trichocereus terscheckii plus flowering agave in inherited Essex garden
Funnily enough the guy has just emailed me! he reckons it has been there 25/30 years which, if correct, predates my one. Had it not been cut back at some point it may have been colossal! Some weird things on Canvey Island - couple of champion palms, one just round the corner from where this cactus i...

Re: It's going to get cold.
There's no 'if' - heat is lost by the ground. Any type of barrier can mitigate this to one extent or another - bubblewrap, newspaper, foil blankets. Even a layer of small children, although I see those more as a heat source. And 'this type of carry on' is something else entirely - protecting the gro...
