[attilathethumb]

[Tina]

Hi
I have only been using the matting for a year but there seems no degradation or rotting.
I use sand with the soil warmng cables ( left hand side)

Never noticed this section of the forum but I'm glad I did!

Lots of lovelies there Tina, too many to mention, but I love the Idra too, what a whopper. A couple of little obesas tucked away in there, but I didn't spot the big one from the Billing show. Do you still have her? I'll look harder. I'm sure I saw a big leuconeura (sp?) there, although it's not very stripey so it's probably something else.

Hi Julie
Yes I still have my big E.obesa, she is even larger now & has another 2 ribs starting to form. I also have an ancient plant that is probably about 12" tall. As they aren't common in habitat I wonder if someone wants to reintroduce mine to the wild, the others are e.symetrica's.
There is a large E.didieroides ,

Hi Tina, why don't you post a pic of that large E. obesa? Would love to see it! Fine collection you've got.

Ouch Patricia... Tina is one of us that suffers from so called 'forby disorder'. Don't ask us anything about euphorbias or you'll have to listen for days. Same goes about watching pictures.

Just kiddin' :=)

But I'll be deeply dissapointed if we get less than 6245681654715082859217512785 pics

Hi Julie, Patricia n all
Here's my E.obesa. I have had her for 22 years at least, she is 5" tall.
The larger E.obesa was a rehome when a friend was getting rid of his collection, it's not very pretty apart from the new growth & is over 12" tall
