Hi Greentea! Better pics would be great! On the thumbnails, it looked like monstrose brigesii but i think it´s actually something else. Does it produce milky sap when cut?

Does it grow leaves at any point in the year? And do you know if it has tuberous roots?

I was thinking some kind of ceropegia or maybe alluaudia. But i'm not sure. I guess we'll have to wait till it flowers.

It is in very poor and dry soil, i don't think it has flowered for a long time

I have no clue then. It looks different from the two genera I posted up there but similar in other ways. Hard to tell untill you get it growing nice and healthy

Does it smell funny when you break a stem? I think it's a senecio species

Doesnt produce any smell
I think i will take Hostilis's advice and wait till it grows a bit, as it was very old and lying dormant in poor soil

I think you're right kapitan. looks a lot like Senecio kleinia, specially if you're in melbourne, both para and cactusland have grown a lot of it.
