Could it be pilosocereus pachycladus ?????

Got this plant from my late Aunt euphorbia ?

Which one? The green one? Have a look at euphorbia mammillaris or fimbriata. E. fimbriata is similar to E. mammillaris, but apparently it has more cone shaped stem tubercles. Or the gray, leggy one? Alluaudia procera can look like that when grown in the shade, but I guess it could also be euphorbia...

The plant is in the background with big arms and spikes what is it?

I think Drimiopsis are winter-growers so you might need to keep them cooler, but if they're growing for you then there's obviously not a problem. :P Avonia don't want water around now so current temperatures are fine. Not sure about Tylecodons or Euphorbias. :P Euphorbia is a big genus with some wi...

So are you suggesting that I turn down the temp for now? I usually up the temp in March about two degrees.

In fact it's probably colder than 38F in my GH right now. :wink: They'll be fine, but look out for discolouration and signs of rot just in case. :P Do you have any South African plants? I do and I thought since the...

Most of my cactus has not been watered for months, Some mams are in bloom but I noticed quite a few are soft not bad but soft and wrinkly. Temps in the greenhouse has reached a temp as low as 38 degrees. Humidity has been a stead...

I have a long 2ft deep by 2ft wide centre bed in my greenhouse built up off the concrete floor, raised up with concrete blocks, but the greenhouse is 9ft high to the ridge. I just chopped a few drain holes in the concrete below the bed before I built it. Depends what you want to grow bedded in sinc...

You could cut it if you want. Should wait until growth commences in the spring, so it's fully hydrated. There's always some risk the cutting doesn't take, but the stump should produce new offsets if you cut the top off - you could make more plants. You need any hints on growing cuttings? Yes, I jus...
