cool plants Betty.

Cool Betty! But the Multicolor definetly takes the cake!

Thanks Lewis and Michael just hope I can get some flowers from them this year

My Neoporteria/Eriosyce Clavata has some nice buds, cant wait to get home and see if the opened.

You in Melb then for the hols ?

Haha yep Betty. Bored as hell aswell.

Oh well you will have to give the laptop a good workout lol

Did the little pup grow or did it shrivel like I thought it would?

Yeh, i hate this bloody laptop!

Sadly it shriveled up Betty, i tryed to keep it slightly moist, but being so small, i dont think it had any chance.

As for the others you sent me, theyre all going pretty good i think, but i left the Ornatums under a tree and they had sap drip all over them and theyre stained brown, but im not sure if theyre actually alive or not.

LOL they could be brown with the cold weather. Some of their brothers and sisters have changed colour with sun and cold.

If they don't make out plenty more where they came from

I have another much bigger pup now to replace that one when the weather warms up

Hmm that could be it, im not sure tho, i had repotted them in the pots which they came with, but they are lose, as in they havent taken, but im just going to guess because its now winter.

Haha Betty, i would have never thought that you would have so many plants as you do, its crazy.

You dont have to do that Betty.

DAMNIT. Took over another topic.

that's cool I started it anyway lol

May be put them in a warm spot like a windowsill where they can get plenty of light.

I would even try putting them in a little bigger pot if you can and make sure the soil is tapped down. By that I mean gently tap the bottom of the pot on something hard to get the soil to settle down amongst the roots properly.

Hmm maybe i should bring them inside, but only thing is, it will be hot all night and day as we have a wood fire for heating in the kitchen, should be ok you think?

I had tapped it and etc, but i wont repot till it starts to warm up i think.
