Hi All,
few lines to introduce myself.
I am 62 and I am a biologist by profession and I cultivate succulents since I was 10. Unfortunately, due to my job, I have little to time to dedicate to my plants, never the less, I like to read and being updated with any news in the field. I have many of succulents of which, I regret for that, I could take care with discontinuous intensity. The only good thing of 2020 was the fact that I had time to repot my all my neglected collection. I am fond of South African succulents and bulbs. I cultivate many mesembs, but mainly Conophytum and Lithops. I appreciate a lot some little charming bulbs like Ornithogalum, Massonia, Lachenalia and AlbuIa.
Last but not least, I have a special interest in Bulbines of which I am trying to regrow my, unfortunately, lost collection. I live in Rome, Italy, where the climate is nice for plants and humans; sometimes too hot, for both, in summer.
Warm regards
Giacomo

Welcome Giacomo to the forum
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Re: Hello from Roma
Welcome to the Forum. Your climate must be rather different to ours and so will be interesting to hear about your plants.
