Was in Bologna last week, so visited Andrea at https://www.mondocactus.com (20 min by train and a 5 min walk from the city centre). A bit eye-watering!. All seed grown, from mostly his own seeds. He has written about the big Mammilaria crucigera in this month's (?) journal of the Mamm Soc, apprarently. Much much more than these few photos (and listed on his website).

Great photographs, I already had his nursery pinned on my map in case I'm anywhere nearby.

And good luck with pricking out that Epithelantha!

Wonderful plants! Thanks for sharing.

Good lord, those geohintonia and ariocarpus are wonderful.

Great photos and plants!
Yes, I would enjoy pricking out those Epithelantha seedlings - If I had a spare week!

Then another to pot them up again

and a few more pics from the poly tunnels...

Thanks for posting. Love the 'pots' the Welwitschias are in!

Mondocactus has been at the ELK in Belgium for quite some years now. Impressive plants they usually bring along. Not cheap, though.

Do you mean you missed his talk on BCSS ZOOM.
He uses lots of Gypsum for growing media
