Hi all,
Returning to the site after quite some years with a resolution of staying an active member Feels really like home.

Re: My rooftop 2017
Nice plants, I guess you have a good climate for cacti & succulents. Fo you need rain cover for part of the year?
Re: My rooftop 2017
Thank you esp_imaging. Monsoons are a problem to deal with every year. Temperature varies from 0C to 45C so its a a bit of a challenge to keep the plants happy. My plants stay outside whole year around. Some shading is needed from May till August. Feb to May is the time most of the plants enjoy.
Here is another photo... just took this one.

A four years old ACM producing its first bud... it drops its arms here in winter. This year, it kept two and started growing the third one.

Cyphostemma adenocaule waking up after winter dormancy. I have it for the last three years. Very slow grower or I have been growing it too cautiously. The dark part of the stem was underground growth. Lifted it a bit during repotting and it sprouted within a week of repotting.

Idria columnaris, It never dropped leaves during winter but did not grow either. The couple of bigger leaves in the center are new growth.
