So Nannorrhops ritchiana is not that hardy in the UK or is it they need warmer summers to grow well?

Bit of both actually. It doesn't like wet winters.....and we don't have hot enough summers for it to do well.

I shouldn't get too excited but one Nannorrhops has just germinated in two months,(bag method) shoot only, which is quicker than I expected, still have another 4 to go.

Second one sprouting, first one is nearly 2" high and green. The rate that is going I might get a leaf this year.

No 3 just emerged.

From my experience, Callum would be in a care home by the time they'd be a decent size

Just saw this better get planting

Quicker than I expected but a long way to go!
