I'm learning about how to care for my cacti and succulents @Balc so will be interested in comments you receive from your post.

 

@pete, I'd love to have mine flowering like that one day!

 

Its not easy to get good flowering of most desert cacti when grown as house plants, they require a fairly cool to cold dry resting period to get the spring flowers going.
Of course there are some that will always do better with winter warmth, but most seem to like a resting period.

The one in the picture has spent all winter in an unheated cold frame, just a bit more insulation during the worst of the cold.

 

@pete thanks for the info!

 

Mine all flowered last month for the usual, brief period. Mine winter in the conservatory that doesn't drop below 16C for the most part.

 

After the first couple of flowers on one plant that had never flowered before I have no more at present. I do expect the columnar one to flower as it's flowered every year since it's been with me (3-4 years)

 

@Balc , thanks for starting this thread! Many of your more mature plants look like my seed grown ones, great if anyone can put a name on them. Naming challenge
