Hi everyone, I've been browsing for a while and soaking up all the amazing information being kindly shared across the forum.
Recently taken the plunge and now have a nice little collection of mainly lithops, cacti and echeveria which looks like it may well grow out of control! I really didn't expect it to be this addictive!

Re: Hi from North Wales
Yes, VERY addictive. I gained a greenhouse on a house move and bought a few cacti.
Two house moves later and 24 x 8 feet was over-flowing with cati, mesembs, aloes, some agaves, gasteria, tylecodons, ascpleps, gerianacae (spelling?), sansevierias, selected SA bulbs, othonna, and a few others besides, including welwitchia............ I was sowing hundreds, maybe a short way into 4 figures, of seed each year......
A change of circumstance saw the collection go, but now starting again.....................

Welcome to the forum.
Yes you will be hooked ... physically as well as metaphorically.

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.

Thanks everyone, it's getting bad, I've brought another 3 stunners home from the garden centre again today! I think a greenhouse will be coming my way sooner rather than later
