Hello, I'm a newbie

Hi all.

I'm new here & sort of new to succulents & cacti (very much so re cacti).

I used to live in the Middle East, many years ago, so am a bit sentimental about succulents & have always had some as house plants. The new part is that I've only recently got into them in a more 'serious' way, actually learning about them & their care & propagation, rather than just sticking them on a window sill, watering occasionally & admiring them.

I have a degree in a completely different area of biology so, although it has very little direct relevance here, it'll probably affect the sort of questions I ask &/or how I ask them.

Anyway, that's me. I look forward to learning more & meeting some of you here, or even at events :smile:

Nottingham so not too far away. You can't be too far from Harlow Carr where there's a show in September.

Worth putting in your signature or similar so people know roughly where you are if you ask any questions relating to culture.
