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.

It's not an easy cactus to grow. Especially that well.
I had one on it's own roots for years. It grew slowly if at all, never flowered and then I lost it.
