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!

Well done. I'm afraid mine (of a similar size) died after repotting it earlier in the year. I think I must have damaged the roots while doing so.

Well done Chris, quite an achievement.
I had one for a while but got worried it would die so sold it on.
