I started collecting mainly desert cacti again in 2016 after a gap of about 25 years. Back then I had around 150 but I had to dispose of them due to a house move & not having suitable space.
I look forward to participating in the forum but I have to admit I have forgotten (or never knew) a lot about care & cultivation of these fascinating plants

Re: New member
What plants do you currently have, and do you have a better suited growing space for them now?

I have to share a greenhouse with my wife's fuschia collection at the moment. But I received a large cold frame as a Christmas present which I intend to convert into a 2 tier mini greenhouse in the spring so that will help.
