Fine plants - I wished I had the skill, time and patience to grow them
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.

I assume the Aztekium has been grafted? That speeds things up a bit.

Very lovely plants, I love fluffy obregonia.
How long have you been growing them ?

Aiko, no, not grafted. On own roots.

Tina, about 40 years.

El tel, eighth decade? Yes, might be a bit tricky starting on Aztekium now but you never know!
