    Hi again people, I saw in my local nursery today this caudiform called fockea edulis. The ones I saw were seedlings so they had a thin caudex and the plant was really small. I thought it was really cute and I was tempted to buy it, but i decided not to because i want to do some research first. so, does anybody have any experience on these guys. One really big question i have is how do you make the caudex fatter? do i cut down the leaves? some say that if you bury the caudex, it would fatten up. Also, because they are really young, they only have 1 stem. how do I get more stems?
