Newbie from Cincinnati, Ohio

Post by cincy_garden »

Hi Everyone,

I have zero experience with Cactus growing but dreaming of being successful down the road, never had any indoor plants other than few vegetable plants on outdoor raised beds for the last few years. Actually haven't had a chance to see lot of cactus/succulents in person & mostly have seen them only on internet :-). I am hoping to gain learning by interacting with you guys on this forum, reading this forum for last couple of days and decided to register this week.

My interest began when I came across this infographic on google images 'A Visual Compendium of Succulents' and wanted to grow samples from each of those category, with no prior knowledge I went ahead and ordered the following from Cactus....com, I am planning to raise these as indoor plants, wish me luck ;-)

100 seeds each:

Seeds Fenestraria aurantiaca
Seeds Argyroderma species mix
Seeds Faucaria species mix
Seeds Lithops species mix
Seeds Aloinopsis species mix
Seeds Crassula species mix
Ferocactus species mix
Astrophytum species mix
Acanthocalycium species mix
Echinocactus species mix
Cleistocactus species mix
Seeds Echeveria species mix
ALL Succulent Seed Varieties Mix (Large Succulent Seeds)
ALL Succulent Seed Varieties Mix (Small Succulent Seeds)
ALL Cactus Varieties Mix

Regards
Ganesh

Hello there, thats quite a list to start with good luck with your growing.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

Please note that Fenestraria is a winter active species. Don't give it dormancy in winter, but keep on watering it and give it as much light as possible until spring.
