Hi Julie. They tend to get quite straggly as time goes by so every year I cut down the long stems and pop 'em in some dry compost for a couple of weeks or more.
I've actually now got enough plants to have made two hanging baskets and they are now dangling from our pergola in the garden.

No wonder he's nervous. With a girl's name, every time there's a knock on the door he won't know which way to turn!(:D

Actually Ian, your plant looks like it has been bombed by a low-flying pigeon (or more likely, a low-flying cow!).

Joaquin is a young chap and was enthusiastically trying to develop his Aztekia website into a substantive and informative resource, no doubt allowing the time needed for that to impinge upon his packing and delivery of orders (especially Eb...

I had quite a lot to do with Joaquin Lozano who owns Selected Succulents, which is also known as Aztekia (see Aztekia.com) and in fact, translated a few of his Aztekia pages from 'pidgin' English to something a little more legible. His plants are generally good but he ran into delivery problems over...

Looks like polyacanthus to me. Check the Cactus Lexicon, page 62 (pic 4), albeit the flower on your plant seems rather more 'salmony'.
