Thanks guys
It has been returned to the heated conservatory, from whence it originally came and now will inhabit until the days are continually warmer. Hoping it will grow large and old and hide its battle scars.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Ferocactus also mark up badly if the humidity is high on a cold night.
Like this 40 year old specimen I grew from seed, it's never going to be a show plant.
