Wish you hadn't said that. Could be the kiss of death now I know it's difficult.

Thank you ... that is most kind. BUT .... TraceyM gave me a gasteria cutting. Not something I have even considered growing. And .... it's rather cute as a plant. I may be seeing the light (quote from Peter Bint) or going over to the dark side (quote Simon Snowden).
Mrs el48tel is more in favour of non-spikeys
