Re: Cracker
Needs plenty of water and doesn’t like high temperatures. Best suited for alpine growers, not a good greenhouse plant but looks great in flower. Easy to grow but not with the rest of the plants we write about here. Stuart Yes I used to have one in the UK that flowered beautifully but had to give up...

Re: Offensive "Moderator" on Facebook.
I think it's good that the issue has been raised in such a thoughtful caring manner, nobody has control over the madness on social media but surely BCSS has control over the moderators?

Re: It's going to get cold.
Its cold at night here, but warms up nicely by the time the sun goes down. The temperature in the unheated bit of the greenhouse was down to 1C last night and up to 15C at the warmest today.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
I think you can keep them in the same size pot but they really do appreciate fresh soil, not a full strip down but a good bit of new compost.
