I might have a few places to add to this thread over the next few weeks if I can sort out photos. First off I'd say if you're in West Wales then Picton Castle gardens has a nice collection of succulents, conveniently sited near the tea stand (the actual restaurant can be busy but the tea stand tends...

Re: Heating costs
I don't have a heated cactus greenhouse, we do have a small geenhouse but don't heat it (the cacti are only allowed to live in when my wife's production of seeds and cuttings have moved on).

Oh my there's clunkier than this out there.. I really like the way you can do the upload, and then decide which ones go inline, and change the ...

Re: Wi-Fi Thermometer
I use a home made wifi thermometer, based on an ESP32 board plus a BME280 sensor, programmed to send readings at regular intervals to a server, where they are stored.
