Hello all!
This is to introduce myself but some of you may know me. Member for over 20 years and member of Birmingham Branch but haven't been able to attend recently due to my health.
I grow a mix of cacti and succulents, whatever takes my fancy. I seem to have mini-collections of mams, white-spined stuff and caudiciforms. Some of my plants are now too big for me to slide over the bench let alone repot. Thank God for Godchildren! They come and help. Rob became very interested in cactus growing when I smashed up a clay pot with a hammer.
I look forward to getting to know you all.
Newbie

Hi Hazel, Welcome to the Forum. Hope your health improves. Don't smash up too many pots, there might be something valuable in it.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
