- In this week's episode, I'm in my small greenhouse taking a look at my growing collection of cacti and succulents a year one from my joining the British Cactus and Succulent Society. Which genera have I fallen hard for? Which specimens have been removed from the collection? Featuring ariocarpus, Lophophora, copiapoa, astrophytum, agave...

Absolutely incredible collection! And after only one year?? Dangggggggggg
Thanks! Over here there's only a handful of nurseries so getting to auctions is the only way to build a collection of more mature plants. I'm really happy with what I've put together so far!
Very nice. I like'em.
Glad you like them!
Your Lophophora williamsii staging with the slate and Totoro looks really good!
Thank you! 🙏
Nice, bro. 🎉
Thanks! ✌
I started collecting cactus 26 years ago. It's addictive, you need to know. ;)
It's definitely a slippery slope! Which genera are you interested in? I'm currently diving into a rabbit hole of aztekium and geohintonia.
Looking forward to it bro I cleared everything not opuntia out the greenhouse today put it back in the porch probably give em all away next year barrels and columner 🌵😎
How long have you been collecting? This year I've found myself being brutal with the cacti I don't really like, gradually replacing them with what I enjoy collecting. With such a small greenhouse I know I have to be strict with the number I can grow. On another note, starting the arid bed shelter this week for a video next weekend!
Do you heat the greenhouse in the winter mate?
I do, I have a small bar heater with a thermostat. I explain the setup in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_dWaqgw2_5U/v-deo.html
i cant say ive seen a grafted cinerea look so normal! u said u got it for like 100 pounds? what a damn steal. if u degrafted or buried it i dont think people would be able to tell.
£100 for the full haul, £55 for the cinerea! I'm not knowledgeable (or brave) enough to degraft but I will bury the grafting stock eventually. Should be fine with 100% inorganic and I won't be watering it until spring.
