There is no cactus you can't eat, but you just might regret it if you eat the wrong one.

Re: Nic's Cacti

Here is the end of the year update, Most of the flowers were missed, since due to a move, the plants spent about a month bare root. Because of this I lost about half of the growing season with plants settling down. Many of my plants are common and have experienced physical damage, however, I am working on creating a better variety with some more intriguing species.

The hard part about my home in Cali is that it is moist year round, it doesn’t get that hot in summer, which often helps some cactus species bloom, and winters generally consists of fog, rain, and cloudy skies. Not the best place to grow cacti without a greenhouse.

I grow plants indoor for at least half a year. And the summer sometimes tends to get TOO hot. So i know how you feel with some of the weather and humidity issues.
