happy1 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) about 8yrs old apprently. got it not too long back tho last few weeks sun n seaweed extract made it grow noticeably different to how it was when i got it. got it to grow taller by having the soil down lower so its got a shadow hittin part of it. got a mad as glow to its skin after that harsh sun we got here last few weeks... will update when more happens.

happy1 Posted December 26, 2009 no idea really. the way the head sits is odd. wnt be surpized if it had a pup that was cut off the lower bit. it was in worse nick when i got it. has gotten alot healther. as was mostly brown but just leaving it outside on clear days and bringing it on cold or wet days has brought back alot of colour to it. that and seaweed extract lil buggers seem to love that stuff. oh and just as note they arent potted that high up. pics was taken after i had come home to find it tipped over thanks to the dogs.... no damage just on its side from were it normally sits and in need of bit more soil.

Alice Posted December 26, 2009 I think what tripsis means is that in your most recent pic it appears to be quit blemished around the areoles now, whereas the previous pics looked blemish free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fractium Posted December 27, 2009 Heat did something like that to a T. Peruvians cutting of mine a while back. Itd been cut lying around in the darkness of a shop and forgotten the sun exists. One side was baked to a crisp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
