Moli - have you tried growing a sweet potato? They make an interesting vine type plant for a while, till they get spindly and nasty. A good methos is in a hyacinth bulb vase.

Thanks DM, will definitely try that...

I can see the baby cacti now. They look like little aliens don't they? Looks like you have at least a couple of varieties.
If you don't want them all, once they are grown on a bit, they will be a hit at a 'bring & buy' - does CP have coffee mornings etc up your way?

Thats another good idea... Most of my friends are not into plants like I am, so have trouble giving them away...

Do try the sweet potato, Moli, I've done that and they do make a very nice plant. Also have you tried an avocado pit? A friend who likes avocados (I don't) used to save me her pits and I had several nice little trees!

I have a huge avocado tree Eileen, grown from 4 stones in one pot...

They are great. I agree there are a couple of varieties there. If you do want to put them in wee pots to sell on then a strip of newspaper folded and wrapped round tames them a bit!
