It has leaves!
Thought I had lost this when it was invaded by mealy bug in the middle of winter and I had to cover in in diluted meths.

Joined Havering branch 2006, although have been growing on and off since the age of ten!
Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

Re: It has leaves!
My plant has only been in leaf for a couple of weeks or so and for me this doesn't seem especially late.Cactus Kid wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 8:58 pm Thought I had lost this when it was invaded by mealy bug in the middle of winter and I had to cover in in diluted meths.

My plant lives in the conservatory so has a winter min. temp of 10 degrees and receives the occasional very light watering, as do all my Madagascan Didiereaceae even though they're leafless.
Alluaudiopsis fiherenensis has also only just leafed up. This is going to put on a massive amount of growth this year since many new branches are starting to develop. Most of my DIdiereaceae have been repotted this year and are really showing their appreciation. Some though are relatively slow growers, Alluaudia montagnacii especially so. By comparison for instance, A. procera is a much faster grower.
Meanwhile Alluaudia dumosa shows no signs of starting into growth.
Cheers,
