Hi everyone,
Been lurking around here for quite some time now and finally mustered enough courage to make my first post. I am from the west coast of Canada and I started my cacti collection just last year, so very much a novice. Been mostly collecting lophophora, ariocarpus, and lithops. But now I’m expanding my horizons to claudex and copiapoa. I hope I can get some good pointers with copiapoa since it was some of my more expensive purchases. Thank you for reading!

Re: Hello from the great North
Hi and welcome 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 the great North
Welcome! How are you circumventing the short nights of winter at your latitude? Do you use grow lights? Are you growing indoors or in a greenhouse? Would love to know more about your setup.Greenpinky wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 4:25 pm Hi everyone,

I would think his cacti are dormant so don't need the lights.greatnorthernexotic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:03 pmWelcome! How are you circumventing the short nights of winter at your latitude?
