My modest collection
My modest collection
We all agree that COVID brought absolute wrath on humanity in last 2 years but there were some advantages as well, at least personally for me. Back in late 2020, I started collecting cactus on my sunnier balcony and within a year, this hobby became passion and the collection grew rapidly. So much so that I don't have any space left now
I am starting this blog to share few of my beauties. I hope you will enjoy these as much I do.
I live in a location (Mumbai, India) which has tropical humid climate with incessant rains for atleast 3-4 months. Practically speaking, it's extremely challenging to keep them thriving but I am doing my best. Any tips, help and suggestions will be extremely helpful.

Amazing healthy plants, and wonderful photos!
Re: My modest collection
Thanks guys! I know that in my climate, they won't flower as much as they do in colder climate. So, I don't miss to capture if I see flower every now and then .
Here is my one of the most prized collection.

Re: My modest collection
Few blooms today. Turbinicarpus are one of my favourites. Primarily because they don't need lots of spaces
