Hello from the south coast

Post by Lettie »

Hello, I'm hoping there are other forest cactus fans on here as that is where my interest lies - I am presently growing a variety of Schlumbergera, Hatiora (Rhipsalidosis), Rhipsalis and a few epiphyllums. I only got interested in them a year or so ago, so am a newbie to it all.

ATM I have them all in the house, but I have bought myself a greenhouse that will be going up in the near future. I’m hoping that the majority of my forest cactuses, Tillandsia, and the odd orchid and Neoregelia will all live happily together in there. Any tips on set up much appreciated. It is only small, 6 x 8, but I am hoping to take advantage of vertical space.

Looking forward to learning lots and hopefully contributing too.

Welcome to the forum, Lettie. There are several regulars who grow your type of plants so you should have plenty of sources of advice, if needed. Good luck with the greenhouse.
