Cacti and Succulents

Lower leaves going limp is a sign that they've too much water.

Hi All,I’ve just got a little job (today very excited) in a private estate and part of the role will be working with the Lady of the house who loves succulents. I don’t have a lot of experience with houseplants as it is, and even less with succulents, so wondered if anyone could recommend a...

the study of the Cactaceae in their habitat | cactusinhabitatCan't remember if I've posted this before . Scroll down & click on 'English' , then up again and click on A&M ; stunning photos and comprehensive list should follow . Enjoy!!

I've taken mine into the greenhouse now but it was out for two nights in the deep freeze we had before Christmas. It doesn't seem to have suffered at all. Other winters I just leave it outside all the time.
