I bought this mature uebelmannia pectinifera from the Colin Norton auction back in October. Haven't watered it since.
It's now flowering on my sunny south-facing windowsill. Should I be watering it? Can I pollinate it with just one plant?

Re: Advice on greenhouse build welcome
What about adding thermal mass, such as black barrels of water along the north wall?

Re: Is this what overwatering looks like?

Is this what overwatering looks like?

Re: AUCTION OF PLANTS FROM THE COLLECTION OF COLIN NORTON - 2ND OCTOBER 2022
The auction was to raise money for Colin's widow and family, and in that sense it was a huge success. The collection represented a man's life work, and some of the prices reflected that. If the going rate for a mature loph or ariocarpus is £150-£200+, I'll have to look at buying younger plants, or f...

Re: AUCTION OF PLANTS FROM THE COLLECTION OF COLIN NORTON - 2ND OCTOBER 2022
"A modest spend" is a relative term! Having been at the sale, I was gobsmacked how much some people spent. There were some spectacular plants and it was in a good cause, but some buyers must have spent thousands. One appeared willing to pay £150 to £300 for every large Ariocarpus or Lopho...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
The plants are great, but I also love the hard landscaping. Definitely bookmarking this as inspiration for my own dry bed.

Re: The tiniest greenhouse tour
I have a couple of general greenhouse questions if anyone could offer advice. Thought I'd post here rather than start a new thread... Bear in mind that although I currently have a random assortment of cacti and succulents, the ones I'd like to keep alive in particular are my ariocarpus, lophophora, ...
