Come on guys and gals, post up a pick of your biggest plants. It’s raining for a delightful change so stuck inside and putting off doing uni haha.

Would love to see what’s around.

I,ll post tomorrow my current biggy. My largest was an Euphorbia ingens, now residing in a local hotel, as at nearly seven foot high was threatening to go through the roof. Picture shows top half taken in its current location.

Don't want to be picky but a Euphorbia isn't a cactus....

It's my fault for not reading ops request correctly. What caught my eye was "show your plants". Missed the word cactus in title. Got to go to Specksavers lol.

As promised, here is my "biggie" today. For contrast the self seeded interloper is four and a half inched diameter.

. For info,this plant desperately needs re potting. It's too heavy to lift. Will need help post Covid 19. Cheers
