Yes thats it. I have a greenhouse with the only purpose to protect plants from frequent rainfall.

Re: My modest collection
Well, I do have a photo of my E. cylindrifolia ssp tuberifera here at work. It was taken Jan 15, 2020 before I repotted all of them. Don't have a more recent one.
Taken Feb 12, 2015: Taken Jan 15, 2020:
And, I am not 100% sure this is E. cylindrifolia, but I'm fairly sure. The leaves look a bit too open. Just don't know the subspecies. Taken Feb 12, 2015: Taken Jan 15, 2020:

Re: My modest collection
Finally got to check for the photos of my E. tulearensis plant. I bought it from C&D Plants last August. These are photos as I received it and after potting. The round pot is 3.5 inches in diameter for reference.

Re: My modest collection
Its said that they will grow bigger caudexes when they are buried. Once they are exposed, they stop growing...Mine is buried and I know it is becoming fat...I'll wait some years more before exposing it.

Re: My modest collection
Are you speaking about E. tulearensis? I know that is true for Trichodiademia bulbosum. People grow them over 12 years before exposing the caudex.

Re: My modest collection
Oh is it? Mine is growing leaves almost every week, so it's growing fine I guess.
