    You remember my boys cactus that hit the conservatory roof, well we didn't cut it, we didn't risk it, we thought we would leave it and see what it would do, and what did it do but turn the corner and grow along the roof! James would like us to cut a hole in the conservatory roof, but I suggested the cactus would get a cold head. Daft plant!!

    Will be interesting to see how long it will take to fold over and grow downwards :)
