My A. pauxillus also came from the Sarnes at ELK
Along with my other Austrocacti, it is in the unheated bay of my greenhouse, although I suppose some heat does leak across from the adjacent part which is heated to 5C. It is uncommon to get frost here on the LLyn Peninsula, anyway. It is doing fine, although not growing quite as quickly as some of my other Austrocacti.

Yes, I managed to germinate some SAR 8283 seed from them last year, though I killed it/them off over last winter.

'Fraid I bought the A. pauxillus, but I hope there may be a few other Austrocactus seedlings, in due course, to swap for some fancy Euphorbias etc!
