They're all beautiful but this one I do adore

They need to rest after only their first growing season. No water and cool temps all winter, some species need watering earlier than others, often just a light spray at first to get them going is best. Some of these actually survive in the wild on fog, with practically no rain.

Time and effort of growing them on. Then storage during dormancy, sorting out the viable flowering sized ones, packing, transport etc.................To get the rarer species means using a specialist supplier who'll grow them on a much smaller scale.

Hi Ms Flower When your cacti shows signs of starting flower buds be very careful not to change the angle of light scource, if you keep it on a windowsill when you pick the plant up make sure it goes back facing the same way. The flower buds twist toward the light and will twist off if at a...

What lovely plants @IceColdRum ... I feel like sending for some myself

Thanks Pete, I'll bare in mind you advice if I see any more rot setting in. Hopefully I'll be ok though... Also, thank you for your advice about it not being a garden plant. Unfortunately my parents put it out in the garden with every intention of killing it, instead it grew massively and...

I've planted them this year in J Arthur Bower’s cactus compost. I see plants like it. Before I used 100% peat based compost plus sand. And the covering - stones from the seashore.
