WOW , both beautiful plants and a credit to your skills. Did we see either of them at the National , if not they should be- lovely No Tina mine wasn't there! I don't exhibit at the National. However I do have several slow growing plants that have been in my collection since the 60's eg Pelecyphora ...

Greenhouse kept at 6degC minimum during the winter months.

Here is my Plant on its own roots bought in the late 60's. The black and white image was taken in the mid 70's.

It looks like cold damage to me.

I'll be there Friday to Sunday as usual, travelling with Bill & Mark.

Congratulations Rob!

Lovely display! Congratulations to all those involved.

I have also noticed root loss with some of my Turbs, Arios etc since using limestone in the mix and have now gone back to using crushed Gypsum 5-10% which gives good results.
