Wonderful compact growth and gorgeous pictures :)
What lights do you use? I`m getting good results with MarsHydro equipment although at present i only use them for Winter growers - i think the plants appreciate the money spent :)

That's a fine photo of a fine looking plant
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
