SarahWoo Jun 2020 8:51pm, 24 Jun 2020 11,652 posts	0 SarahWoo I love Lady Felicity, Bint! You lot are inspiring me to get some more houseplants. I used to have loads until the kids came along when they got very neglected and died. I think I could manage to keep them alive now.
Bintmcskint Jun 2020 8:55pm, 24 Jun 2020 45,304 posts	0 Bintmcskint I have had cacti weirdly melt on me before. And I have killed every Maidenhair Fern I have ever had (usually within weeks) Thanks, SarahWoo. She is growing really well. Lots of lovely new green leaves since I got her about 3 weeks ago. I did try to untangle her strands but it was trickier than Christmas light unravelling and she seems to be thriving in her tangled state

I bought him on a stall last year at the Elmore 7 (my fave local race, incorporating a flower and produce show). Doesn't matter how much we water him though, he never seems to grow...
Columba Jun 2020 10:12pm, 24 Jun 2020 19,919 posts	0 Columba I've had an aloe for years, and passed on many of its babies to other people, but I've never encountered weird melting. Nor even plain ordinary melting.

Raemond Jun 2020 10:40pm, 24 Jun 2020 5,661 posts	0 Raemond Here we go It was good 25cm tall from the outermost to innermost leaves, then from one day to the next it melted, this sad little heap was barely 5cm high.

Peregrinator Jul 2020 10:46pm, 10 Jul 2020 627 posts	0 Peregrinator Ta-daaaah! The cactus (see page 2 of thread) has now produced two flowers at the same time. Maybe its just a late developer.
