Thank you so much!! 🙏
In Brazil, the place you are, do you get a lot of rainfall? If yes, how do you care for your plants?
I believe mmcavall has a greenhouse that he/she uses to protect their plants from the rain. See their member blog thread: https://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37648
Yes thats it. I have a greenhouse with the only purpose to protect plants from frequent rainfall. Thank you Evan.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Oh is it? Mine is growing leaves almost every week, so it's growing fine I guess.
