Mine all flowered last month for the usual, brief period. Mine winter in the conservatory that doesn't drop below 16C for the most part.
It'll be watering on steroids the next few days, as it continues to be sunny but now with temperatures in the mid-high 20s. That'll absolutely...
I'm learning about how to care for my cacti and succulents @Balc so will be interested in comments you receive from your post.

Agreed. I have three, which this year, is having the best growth spurt since planting three years ago.
What an amazing pond @kindredspirit We had a small patio pond which once it went into the ground and was accessible, attracted frogs,...
