Post by SpikyMike »

Decided it’s time for my indoor ladies and gents to get their first plunge of the year. Hope they enjoy it!

Mixed bathing?
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.

Definitely mixed bathing. I thought of adding my Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum - but thought it might cause blushes all round.

You're braver than me. I've watered plenty of my cacti already, but far too windy for them to be outdoors.

Braver than me, but you are a lot further south. Heavy misting is still my limit.

You have a nice variety of plants there Mike and looking good, plenty of wind here in Surrey today, so you were rather lucky.

I live in Ware and there was plenty of wind here yesterday!

Too early for me for watering though.
