Tending more towards cacti :D, 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!

That's both fun and impressive, 20+ years ::o
Is it both succulents or mostly cacti for you, David?

Its only cacti for me Christer. I don't have any cacti left from that time. The one I had until last year got badly damage in a move, so I restarted from seed again. (The thing I like most is the seedlings so it is not that bad.) I rescued some plants, but some are only the top or bottom half left.

You need patience in this hobby.

That's so true, and with some genus more then ever :cac4:

I use to test one genus at time and the newest are Turbinicarpus and before that it was Matucana. Soon I will give Mammillaria a shot :)
