Sutremaine...I really like your idea about planting cuttings instead of the whole cactus plant. :thumbup: I also grow various sempervivum and that would work for them as well. This goes to show that this forum is full of ideas from members and I for one have benefited greatly since I started the cac...

luddhus....Good question! My hope is that if the cactus is small enough, that it would not be a problem. I would probably not plant the smallest pot because it seems way to small to me.

iann, Since growing these is going to be new to me, I guess I would say the bullet-proof types?

Thanks all for your responses. Cruaux.... I have taken the following photos of what I call a mini-pot-group to show the size of the pots that I would like to plant. As you can see there are five seperate pots but they are all attached as a group. Hope these photos help better understand the size(s) ...

I am soliciting help again!! :dontknow: Is anyone out there growing cactus that remain very small when mature? Perhaps they are referred to as thimble cactus? I recently picked up a small planter which I thought would be interesting if I could pot it up with these types cactus. Yes, I have done some...

John it has just grown thata way.

Great job!! I like your project and see that the plants like it too. Thanks for sharing.

daiv..Nice project and I hope you did't throw the chair away that is shown in your first photos. There are people driving all over looking for great treasures like that Old barns are something that I always enjoy looking at. Thanks for sharing the details of construction etc.

Great job and thanks for sharing. It would be nice to see structures by others too.

How about a photo of your smaller one?

The first tiny cactus is hardy and in my garden. The other is in my greenhouse. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q262/sixbysix_photos/IMG020.jpg Another view of same http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q262/sixbysix_photos/IMG018-1.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q262/sixbysix_photos/IMG023-...

This one really came to life this year.

WOW What a great selection and a place I would like to visit. If not to buy, just to look the area over.

Daiv the cholla that you commented on above grow in abundance around here. There is some rough country to the south of my home about 20 miles and the prarie there have hundreds of them. It is amaizing to me how plants have adapted to different environments resulting in abundance at one location and ...

Daiv thanks for the I.D. on the Discocactus I'm going to make a tag for it.

Thanks John. The flowers are Larkspur and although not a perenial they reseed them selves and come up each year.....Sometimes too many
