My snail begonia along with my Christmas cactus are currently taking up 75% of the draining board in the caravan. I highly recommend having houseplants and no house. It just adds to the fun of the whole situation ( there may be a hint of sarcasm in there somewhere(11-12-2025, 05:21 PM)Small chilli Wrote: There’s flowers everywhere. I can’t keep up with it .

Good to know your Snails are still alive! My leaf cutting one is too.
SC, have you room to hang them from the caravan roof/curtain rails? Hanging basket type thingy?

I did make a macramé hanging basket for the cactus before we moved in. We decided that wasn’t the best idea. He’s been repotted since then too.

Wow! that's a biggun.
Are there 2 different cacti in the pot, or is it 2 pots? Mine are just in bud- no flowers open yet!Old Mother Snail wishes her offspring a Merry Wotsit.

Beautiful, my Christmas cactus has gone from being wonderful to rather woeful and I don't know why. It's not pot bound, dry or waterlogged. This year it's a bit of a disappointing puzzle.

Baby Snails are growing up fast. We had to hospitalise one baby because her roots rotted. The care giver was too enthusiastic with the water, but she's rallied round, overcome her difficulties, is out of ICU and is thriving.
P's just reminded me that elder daughter has a flower.

Just joined the Hipeastrum gang!
They were £3.99 in Lidl so I thought, why not? Rummaged through and found a pink one which is now potted up and sitting on the kitchen windowsill!
