A huge update of my collection
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Well huge if you count the cacti not metering their size...
But let's take things one step at a time. First of all, I've repotted my smaller melos. And I must say, I was right, because only 1/3 of those deep pots were filled with roots, while 2/3 were an empty space. Clearly, Melocacti do NOT enjoy deep pots and I gave them shallow ones based on their roots size.
Ernestii had very small root system. I hope it will grow in this pot better.
Conoideus had huge root system, it filled the upper part of its pot completely. Now it has more space.
And now LOTS of newcomers... First - two small Oreocereuses. My wife asked for them so I seeked them out and bought them.
A Ferocactus (?). It was in a very good condition, nice roots, just came from holland and was not ruined in the shop yet, so I just could not resist. Going to post it in ID section.
And a gift from one of russian cactus lovers. Tiny seedlings. 9(!) of them! They are all from "wild" seeds.

I've planted parodias and coryphanta together. They are all gonna be a VERY spiky beasts!
New Gymnos were planted as an addition to the old two. I like their look
Echinopsis is the only one that got a separate home... From it's looks it had a hard life as it should be green, not brown...
Happy with the newcomers ^^
