I love checking your threads LSoares. You Have some wonderful plants. I do most of mine from seed and it is rewarding. I find it difficult to grow my cacti due the the climate in the pacific northwest, but I put a lot of love into it. Its nice to see other people who have a passion for cacti. :smile:

I think it's not impossible to grow them anywhere, you are human and can basically control the environment enough it mimics desert, even I can do it here at arctic. Light intensity without windowsill will probably never be enough for big columnar plants, but under light small cobulars can grow very well and long time, even flower without any sun.

Basically only what cold climate isn't good for at the point when you have no room for plants to grow. So cobulars would be the best thing to grow in my mind.

Long story short, I managed to build a Place indoors where I don't need to move plants anywhere, they got enough sun over summer and stop growing indoors when sun isn't there.

Basically I was amazed how sun does the work and woke up plants from dormancy and plants stop growing indoors when sun is totally hidden. I actualy even give water to few bigger cactus to test during winter. Because sometimes temps were at +21C but mostly +3C to +10C.. Anyway that trichocereus didn't mind to get water and didn't grow because there were at time constant darkness. I have also spray water over the cactus plants during winter to control winter-mites. Anyway I still never water my plants from september to Feb-March.

At the moment I slowly can see the growth at tip of big columnars and sun is relatively strong compared to winter when it's no sun at all.

Maybe here windowsill during winter time is almost similar to dark and cold storage/basement what some people use to dormant cacti.

Anyway, it's not basically impossible to grow these nice plants no matter how cold climate you are living. Technology today is pretty much helpful to create as proper environment as possible. Still sun light seems to be most powerful light source compared to any artificial light I have seen.. And I have seen hot trichs grow under 2kW of HPS light and they are still pretty etiolated.

Greenhouses is also very good at summer in cold climate. Also it's pretty easy to find out what cactus need and what not when I grow them here. I have actually have to build whole environment myself without any advice. Lots of failures at beginning. Rotting plants and seedlings. Here climate is pretty hostile to there plants so everything they need have to build or so. It's pretty essential to mimic desert climate to success with these plants in cold climate. Using proper mineral soil and giving some day time heat. My plants have endure even over +50C temps when using extra heat with sun at summer. Even seedlings have done in +40C days but night time is always in my garden relatively cold. Temperature swing automatically causes humidity swing as well what seems to be also one factor to success with these plants. But this is constant learning to me even today trough mistakes and success, sometimes I have lost pretty big lophophora plants to rot and learn lots of those plants. As well as I have lost few plants to drought as well by forgot watering them..:lol:

How cold your climate is btw?:sun:

All my Lophophora are awake by now. This is a particularly nice plant, sold to me as L. decipiens. I love the paleness of its skin and the deepness of the flower colour. :smile:

This *#$*"@ is a Turbinicarpus mandragora susbsp. subterraneus P362. It is annoyingly untidy but I love it anyway. Grown from seed in 2009.

Note that this is absolutely normal growth habit for the species...

As you can see, Epithelantha micromeris fruits are a lot more interesting than their flowers.

(look closely. The flowers are there)

Beautiful. The Tarahumara consider the fruits edible (http://www.biodiversidad.gob.mx/Biodiversitas/Articulos/biodiv40art4.pdf)

That is awesome! That is so unusual looking, I love it!
BTW, how many cacti and succulent specimens do you actually have? Do you keep a count? Seems like you have quite a diverse collection!

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
'Which road do I take?' she asked.
'Where do you want to go?' was his response.
'I don't know', Alice answered.
'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

That is very hard to say. Between cuttings, self seeded plants, 1 and 2 year old seedlings still very prone to sudden accidents and deaths... 3 to 4,000 plants, perhaps. But less than a 1,000 adult or so plants.

Thelocacti wake up early in the year. This is Thelocactus bicolor, sowed 2008 (I think...)

I'm sure I don't show enough Astros. Here's Astrophytum myriostigma "quadricostatum", a youngish plant but already putting out a good show. :smile:
