Hello!

Post by rca »

Hey Everybody,

I've been keeping cacti and the odd succulent for about 4 years and have ammassed quite a collection (so easy to get carried away!) I don't know that much of the theory behind growing cacti - so if anyone could mention a good book/journal/website for starting on I would appreciate it :razz: I'm a first year horticulture student and I am starting to get to grips with the science so would like to grow my knowledge on cacti too.

My main interests are in the small opuntias and mammillaria - but I can't actually pronounce that last one!

Nice to meet you all,
Rca

Welcome to the Forum rca, I'm sure you will find plenty to interest you here. Most of us know how easy it is to acquire many plants! I wonder if you have seen the BCSS cultivation leaflets, as shown on the home page? these might be a good starting point for you.
