First year overwintering Euphorbia in GH

Hi all, As I head into my first winter with all of my Euphorbias in a greenhouse, as opposed to indoors, does anyone have any advice to give me? Especially Lithos or Tina, if you have any tips that would be welcome. My source on watering and temperatures is Specks' care guide http://www.specks-exoti...

Re: More Aloes

Re: Broadband Problems

All of the broadband problems I've ever had have been from A) problems on their end of the line, and B) from the plug-in DSL filter boxes which go into the telephone socket in the wall, have you tried using a different brand of these? only thing I can suggest, and my sympathies, there is literally n...

Re: Euphorbia turbiniformis crest

IWhat a brilliant plant Tina, how long have you had it? that's beautiful to me :grin: I do love a good cristate Euphorbia, though cristate succulents, and euphorbs in particular seem to be quite rare. I haven't really seen all that many apart from the 'standard' obesa, flanaganii, enopla, etc. I won...

Re: Ebay

To be honest it's up to the buyer to make an informed choice, most of the eastern european sellers add ariocarpus, rare bla bla bla to their descriptions because the e-bay search function isn't exactly amazing, so they want their plans to be found by the biggest number of people (which has been succ...
