Mostly on windowsills. Some go outside to the yard for summer 5 months and few cold-hardy reside in the garden or pots year-round.

This May brought even more flowers.
Another very first flower of these seedlings.
One flower also counts for a bloom, right?
Different Rebutia & Aylostera.
Gymnocalycium neuhuberi.
Things outside also started shaping up.

M. zeilmanniana with good soil and proper fertilizer.
Plant with same origin and placed at the same windowsill but in bad soil (too much N): too many offsets, weak spines, no flowers.
Sowing 2 kind of seeds together always comes to be a bad idea: if we focus on the care of bigger ones we risk loosing small ones and opposite. These germinate and grow with different pace.
Cracks on the side of these lophs. Rapid growth or over-watering?
Fruits look ripe.
Next flowers...
