My name is Al and I immigrated from the US to Germany. I got interested in mesembs and cacti earlier this year after a lifetime of having a thoroughly black thumb. I think I've done reasonably at learning to take care of these plants though -- currently growing in a mini greenhouse out here in SW Germany.

Interested in mesembs and small cacti
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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
Welcome to the forum at least you will be able to get plants and pots from the good German suppliers

Oh yes, I'm very fortunate that Uhlig Kakteen is a relatively short train ride away, and I've mail ordered plants and seeds from a few other sources as well. Though my wallet may disagree on how much of a good thing that really is...

No such thing as a crowded greenhouse or depleted wallet.
Just sheer pleasure.
