@pete and @Gail68 thanks for the info. They are so easy to look after, just break a bit off and stick it in a pot. They do seem to like a fair bit of water in the summer.

 

Hi Zilly @pete did the work but the link I added tells the care of them also

 

Prickly plants, but not sure where the bramble fits in Zigs.

Bringing back memories. I used to have quite a large collection of cacti but sadly left them for the new owners when we sold that house.

 

Sorry for jumping in but I could do with some advice, regarding ' ol dusty
He lives on a kitchen window and , obviously, needs repotting but what I want to know is, can I shower him?
He's got a nasty scorched area but seems to be ok. He's just .... dusty! How can I clean him . Thanks in advance
