Succulents for a shady hall windowsill

Cumulopuntia subterranea ssp. pulcherimma
This plant brings me untold joy every year. It’s rapidly expanding across this 7’’ pot and treats me to these lovely flowers.

Pterocactus fischeri
First time this one has flowered for me and definitely worth the wait! I love the primitive-looking flower and the fabulous deep wine-red colour. Also fascinated by the way the bud forms on the end of a new body segment. Will the whole lot wilt after flowering? The label has ‘R.M’ on it - any ideas ...

Re: Depressed poepeggii
And here’s the rub… my plant produced copious fresh, green growth last year, but only stunted, green tips this year. I’ll move it into the greenhouse in November and bring it out again in April.

Depressed poepeggii
My Maihuenia poepeggii has been struggling this year. There was no sign of fresh growth in the spring, so I feared it had died.
