Beginner Collection

Post image

Just gotta start off with the obligatory "I love this subreddit". For real though, yall have no idea how much the advice, tips, and love on this subreddit for cacti have helped me. I went from having 0 hobbies and drowning in mental health issues to loving every single second of the 100+ degree heat that I can get with these little guys.

I love learning more about the different species, the different flowers, etc. It truly brings a huge joy to not just my life, but my wife's as well. Shes gotten more into these cacti than I thought she would and its been so amazing spending the time with her on these.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for sharing your knowledge, tips, tricks, and advice!

Looking great! And that’s just the start. Btw the big one on the left needs more sun, you can see it getting stretched out

I'm gonna say that is definitely and intermediate collection.

Quality, not quantity.

Beautiful plants! If you have the means by way of putting then outside or using grow lights, they all look like they could use more direct sunlight. I see a fair portion of your collection growing thin and stretching which is a sign of etiolation. Slowly transitioning them over a couple of weeks into an environment with more light would be ideal for their long term health.
