This plant is flowering for me under lights. It has two heads, both of which have started growing out new plants from the tops rather than regrowing.

Member of Somerset branch. I have a diverse mixture of small cacti plus a few larger survivors from a previous collection. I also like Stapeliads, Titanopsis, Anacampseros, and various other succulents. Now proud owner of many self-raised seedlings.

, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Nice to get flowers under lights, you must be doing it right. What's your setup?

Hi Ian
It's a Heath Robinson arrangement of one of those mini greenhouses, minus its cover, with an Envirolite 125 watt bulb suspended from the top (with reflector) and Mylar film all round. The front part is removable. There is not quite enough light so I need to get a double reflector.
