Tom, what about Aloe polyphylla?

Mike.

Aloe haemanthifolia has just arrived.....

To a degree Brian but I had got bored with it! It had done nothing for all that time and I wasn't in love with it any longer! Like everybody else space is always under pressure and each year i look at plants and think "do I love you" and if not, away they go to a good home. I've got a larg...

I can't really get Ibervillea going. Why?

Pachypodium succulentum isn't too difficult either.

Mike.

Mike.

Steve Brack suggest 115f for E horizonthalonius!

Mike.
