How old are these before they flower.
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.

They will flower from little more than a 2 segment rooted cutting the summer after they have rooted down, given plenty of sun.

Very good, Ray. There are definitely benefiting from being hung up in the air/sun all year round.

Tony I need the space on the benches :geek: but they do hang well, I was thinking of trying Mike P 's trick and hanging them from the fruit trees along with the Aporocactus :smile:
