Hello - taking the plunge

Post by CactusFairy »

Saying hello after a long time lurking - been growing cacti and succulents in a conservatory in Yorkshire since 2007. Amazingly, most of them are still alive despite the last horrible winter, so I'm feeling more confident this year. Have lots of rebutias, quite a few mammillarias and an assortment of anything else I come across. Most of all I enjoy growing from seed and the first of my own seedlings (unsurprisingly a rebutia) has just flowered for the first time.
