Re: Monadenium / Euphorbia renneyi : Plant care advice?

Well, the plant still hasn't straightened out and I don't think it will. Something is happening at the base of the stem, right were it meets the soil, it is starting to shrink. It's almost half the size now as when I posted the first pictures. I'm not sure what would be causing this but I need to kn...

Re: Monadenium / Euphorbia renneyi : Plant care advice?

Thanks for the reply. It actually hasn't grown a whole lot since bringing into the house, but maybe more than I realize. I've had it indoors for about 4 months now. It still hasn't straightened itself out yet... I was thinking it would since it was bent over, at less of and angle once before but it ...

Re: Monadenium / Euphorbia renneyi : Plant care advice?

Thanks for the replies. The stem is fairly rigid, I can't really tell how soft the bend point is since it's narrow and has thorns. I did slowly bend it back up somewhat, after giving it water, hoping that would help but it hasn't returned to normal yet. I'm not sure what to do. I hope watering it do...

Monadenium / Euphorbia renneyi : Plant care advice?

Hello, I have a Monadenium renneyi, which I guess is now called Euphorbia renneyi? I bought this at a plant show last summer and it did great over the summer on my deck. I now have it in my bedroom, on a stand with about 60 other cacti. Almost all of my plants are doing great with a few exceptions, ...

Re: Epithelantha micromeris -- in flower?

Hey guys, I got this one in mid June on ebay. I never saw it flower but it has produced a lot of berries. There are also a lot of babies popping up around it from seeds that had fallen. I was confused at first as to why I was getting so many berries but never saw any flowers, now I realized it proba...

Re: Clear vinyl plastic for greenhouse shelf unit.

I still haven't decided which material to go with but I've read some articles. I do need to hurry up and get it done though, we had some more storms roll through today which brought hail with them briefly. Luckily, nothing looks like it was damaged!! :)

I got it to work! I have to open the pic, crop, save, then it works! Bummer that I have to edit them, but at least they won't be sideways anymore! Win!

Re: Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii, flowers or fruit

I keep trying and I can't get them to come out correctly. I'm not rotating the tablet or editing the photos. And it seems to happen regardless of if I select a photo from the images folder or take it as needed for the post. It might be the image size I guess. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro. Mayb...

Re: Clear vinyl plastic for greenhouse shelf unit.

I just took a quick pic, it got up to 92F today so that's helped them start to dry out.
