Sorry greg/karen I swore I replied yesterday but guess not! Id love to have more greg! Ive got a few other non succulents in te house too! Karen to be honest it was a work friend who got me into cacti and apart from that I don't know anyone else who keeps succulents in my area!
Update on is it unusual or not for uk/ireland? Maybe not karen I've been loiking into that and there's quite a few cactus/succulent events happen in ireland! Mostly in dublin by the looks! I will have to pay them a visit someday.
