Hello everyone,

Thought I'd post here first and say hello.

New grower here, started a few varieties last year that I was given in a trade for capsicum varieties with a friend as a surprise (they're still tiny! I think I could've done better but they are alive and healthy looking). T. Panachoi T. Peruvianus L. Williamsii and L. Williamsii Var Caespiotta (sp?).

Just received an order of new seeds!! A "Mammillaria Seeds Mix" and an "Echinofossulocactus Seeds Mix" and an Aloe mix as well. So I am looking forward to starting them up! I really like the Astrophytum (forgive my spelling) genus and am hoping to grow some of them as well this winter. We shall see! I think I may be getting addicted... uh oh!

I mostly grow hot peppers, and love to trade / giveaway seeds so if anyone likes a little heat in their food feel free to ask, I have about 100 varieties..

My indoor setup is basically just a 4x4ft T5 light and a 4x2' table with a heating pad and a fan.

Anyway, look forward to meeting you folks and learning a lot more about growing cacti!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Seems like quite a friendly community you guys have going here.

KittieKAT - The Lophs are so cool! I love how they have all those little tufts of fur. I hope at least a few of mine survive my green thumb into maturity so I can see what they're like. Really excited about the Trichs as well because we were told their blooms smell wonderful, though again I think we have a long wait to find out!

It must be immensely rewarding for you guys to finally see a bloom from some of these plants after putting in several years with them. This will definitely be something new for me given my experience with other plants and starting over each season from scratch.

There is so much great info logged in these forums and so much to read through. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Mission one - finding a good seed starter mix. Off to the trenches!

I may have to join in with a grow log when I finally figure things out, I've really enjoyed perusing through a few others.

Thankyou! I like hobby forums (I'm active on a few others as well) so I'll be around.. I started a GLOG in the from seed section to document my upcoming grow from seed.

Look forward to getting to know you all.
