Greeting from Finland

Post by Pompom »

Hello everyone! I've been visiting this forum about 6 months now, since I got my first succulent. I now have 2 succulents and 4 cacti.
What a nice forum is this! I've managed to keep my succulents alive with information I got from here. It's nice to have someone to talk about cacti and succulents, because I don't have anyone who is as interested as I am. I partly had to register, because there is little to none proper information in internet about growing succulents in this frozen country.

Anyhow, it's nice to meet you all, I hope i don't bother you too much :D

I have already one question: Where should I write a little story about my poor little echeveria? It's not sick, I hope, but I'd really like to share her story with you!

Sorry for bad english, not my native language :lol:

Welcome to the forum! If you haven't identified your plants yet post pictures on the cactus/succulent identification boards respectively.
As for your eceheveria, you can start a member topic and post anything you would like about your plants!
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Hello elieestephanie! Thanks to this forum, I have identified almost all of my plants.
I have thanksgiving cactus cuttings from my mothers over 20-years old plant. They are doing fine, I need to wait them grow bigger. The second cactus is mammillaria karwinskiana beiselii maybe, can't tell for sure since it hasn't flowered for me yet. Third cactus is opuntia monacantha variegata, possibly monstrous form (I don't know how to tell if it is or isn't). For the last one I'm not so sure, so I'll post the picture for everyone to identify.
The succulents I have are echeveria pulidonis. The other one I haven't identified, because I don't have it. My friend bought it for me as a gift from Spain and hasn't bring it for me yet. I'll post a picture of it when I get it!

I'll go now and write the story :D
