This is my plant when first purchased. It was in horrid clay round urn and awful compost so I repotted it. Ignore green straggly bits, that belongs to separate plant. I'm trying to work out odds of getting it right way up!

Becomes right way up when I click it (to enlarge it) using Firefox.

Hi Tony,
Can you not make it stay that way please! I hate the IPad! It's so frastrating.

Could this be a case of garden centre trade plants being 'pumped up' - fast growth leading to more branching - as compared to C&S aficionados' versions that have been grown hard and haven't branched? A bit like a grafted Blossfeldia branches but an own-roots one doesn't.

Hi Phil,
I actually bought it in July so I had had it for a month on earlier photo. It had grown a lot in better compost and pot! Not boasting...just the way it was! Bought from Rosebourne which is independent Garden Centre on par with Ayletts? It exudes quality.
