Is this settup ok for winter?
    #23791212 - 11/01/16 12:30 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Do you guys think this setup is ok for winter for seedlings on my signature ?

There are 3x 24 watt 6400k lightbulbs and a space heater that will heat the cabin every one hr for 10 mins, after 11 PM cuz the electricity is cheaper at night at my country, and the lights will be one from 11PM till 11 AM ? Any suggestion ?

Im also planning to sow some seeds tomorrow :smile:

Sorry for bad quality pics, focus of the phone is not working :thumbdown:

Hopefully its cold enough to stave off growth. Last thing you want in winter is long spindly growth.

How about a cold garage with ambient light?

Ambient light in a garage?  Isn´t that dark??!!

In habitat, as the days get shorter and cooler - growth slows down.  But cacti do not go ´dormant´ in winter as you will see many people incorrectly say.  They will still be photosynthesising to some extent, and last summer´s soft growth will be hardening and ripening.
Give them as much light as possible, preferably daylight, and keep them from freezing - that will suit most desert cacti.  And keep them dry. 
I am fortunate to live in a frost free climate - for 3 months my guys live in cold frames, to achieve all the above.

You ideally do what the growers and nurseries in northern Europe do - what I did when I grew in Scotland - put your plants in a heated greenhouse (mine was only 4´X6´) - lots of daylight but keep them above freezing.  I used a paraffin (kerosene for you Americans??) heater - cheaper than electric.  Cacti need LIGHT all year round - like what they get in habitat.

And all this is why I had to stop growing cacti:sad:

Maybe one day,I will move back out West,so I can grow my cacti directly in the ground,the only true way,in my opinion.

But until then,I'll just enjoy all of you all's lovely specimens:yesnod:

I have a sunny frost-free climate - good for growing desert cacti - but my garden is so tiny - a lot of it is my car parking space - my cacti grow up high in pots on my roof terrace.  They seem to like it though.  But not growing in the ground has advantages - a lot less nasty things - like slugs - and I have been mercifully free of mealy bugs and red spider mites.

I hate where I live, and want to move badly... But then I remember alllllll the cacti I have thanks to where I live.

Its a love hate thing I guess. I can't imagine not growing cacti. I'd probably plan a move based on that situation alone.

Do as fly has suggested. Invest, if at all possible, in some heaters and lights. There is no more advice i can give becuase i live so close to the flames of hell. I get constant heat year round.
