* edit* are you growing those for its effects, or just the fun.
If for effects, what does it do for YOU

Yes i like to have a collection to, but every plant i have needs an other climate so its a fight to keep them healthy..
Hey are youre not dutch as well?

I know the problem, however I only choose plants that are able to survive in my window sill. In some days/weeks I hope to purchase some grow lights, so I'll be able to cultivate light-demanding plants. And yes, my native language is Dutch, but I live in Belgium. Is it that obvious?

@ InfiniteOhms: Very admirable collection you've got there! How old are those succulents? The "hard grown" plants and greenhouse plants look so different from one another!

Thank you These where all started over the winter, i think i started both of them in november/december 2010. Growing succulents takes a lot less patience then cacti, the cacti i started in september 2010 are mostly still under 1/2 inch tall. They grow great even w/o lights, just a south facing window (i'm at 43* north lat, so the direction of the window makes a BIG difference).

PS if anyone wants seeds of d. bosseranum, many of my plants have seed heads on them, i could also take cuttings of kanna/d.bosseranum if anyone wants to trade.

Sometime in the future I would like to cultivate Kanna. Has your S. tortuosum ever produced seeds? However I suppose you're an American citizen, so it's not very convenient to do a trade to Europe. It seems like no European vendor sells these seeds, so if I would order them from an American vendor, I should order several species to keep it a bit profitable. But I think all my window sills will be full in some months, so I'm not in a hurry to get more seeds, hehe!
