Organizing

Post by Cyber_380 »

Hi there,

How do you organize your cactus and/or succulents collections?

I need some ideas, do you guys create a info sheet for each specimen? Other ways?

Thanks.

As for my own cacti, they're horribly unorganized.

All of my Huernias are together, as are my Haworthias, Gasterias, etc. I just group by Genus. Unless a particular variety needs radically different care than the norm. Then they go with "like minded" other plants. Makes things easy. For me, anyways.

There have been one or two databases made for cactus and succulents, but not sure all are still available. I am too disorganised to use one, even though I play about on the computer too much!
