Hello from Texas Y’all!

Post by Teaspoons »

I’m an enthusiastic new collector of cacti, and succulents from Houston, Texas (zone 9a). A year ago I got a few little plants, and now my collection has swollen to 63 individual specimens, and growing! Yeah...I may have a list of all of them somewhere, haha!

Hopefully here I can fill in a few missing ID’s, and continue to learn about care, taxonomy, collection, and propagation.

Here are some of my little guys, but I’ll have better photos soon, this is just what’s on my phone:

Also a warm welcome from another Texan. It looks like the "cactus bug" really got hold of you. :)
I wish you the best of luck growing these spiny plants. Being on this forum will most likely help you succeed with that endeavor.
