Hello all. Depsite promising not to buy any more plants this year I couldn't pass up on this Euphorbia that I found at the garden centre. In my defence I was left unsupervised so she's only got herself to blame :cac4: . Are there any tips for getting the best from this one and maximising the caudex?...

Well it only took me four years to work this out I'm fairly sure this is Heliotropium curassavicum or similar. It likes salty soil so that's probably why it isn't a well known plant.

Thanks for the advice. I've used the yellow sulphur and checked all my other plants as well. I found two others in different rooms that needed attention so they've all been done. I wasn't quite sure how to apply the stuff so though I might have to reapply it in a week or so. It said to just puff it ...

Despite this question being OT, what is the name of the Pachyphytum shown here? It's Sedum pachyphyllum I think. That's correct. If it gets cold it tends to get patches of stem rot and drop heads all over the place. It's the thin blue form apparently but doesn't grow particularly well for me. Sedum...

Bonsai pot project update: I've moved it into a wider pot and pinned the next stage of growth out as it filled the other pot quite quickly. It's getting some nice shape and filling out the bigger pot already. I've added a photo of a couple of plants that I've been keeping pruned back and you can see...

Can anyone offer any insight on this mould problem please? These photos were taken just before Christmas and you can see a powdery mildew forming on the leaves. The plant is indoors on a window sill that gets decent ventilation and is above a radiator. The mould didn't seem to be harming the plant s...

I did wonder about them flowering again. I can see the odd new bud showing but just planned to nip them off if they tried.

The plant I rescued flowered over the summer and died back completely as they do. I'm pleased to see it's now resprouting though and with luck it will survive the winter. I'm not sure if I'll get any seed but my hopes of getting a little colony going here are still alive. https://i.postimg.cc/XvTnmV...

Thanks. I didn't realise that it would get bigger than this as it's already 6" across. I looked it up and it's still got a couple of inches to go. It will be interesting to find space for it when the offsets are added onto that as well.

I've been growing this plant for a couple of years now and it's a good size but never puts out any offshoots. I tried propagating from leaf cuttings but with no success. This year when it flowered I cut off all the inflorescences and potted them up to see if that would do anything. They've all roote...
