ID Help I need some help on this one @SirLiquorice or anyone else... Greg says cereus repandus but I don't know if I agree. I've looked at at every single cereoid on cactiguide and I can't pin this one down. Any guesses? Could it be some other type of succulent? #happyplants #cactusclique #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentsquad

found a lovely & large #zulugiant at a local floral shop this week & I'm stoked to nurture a new plant and learn how to best make him comfy. he's so large that he's got trouble holding half his branches up. anyone have any experience with #propagation with Zulu giants? the florist gave me a successfully propagated snippet to share, and I have a feeling a large chunk of him is headed in the same direction.
