Re: Why do novices always use clay pots?

Presentation. I see so many great cactus plants in cheap crappy black square plastic pots, it saddens me. Is this what we are down to? Plastic crap or nice terra cotta?
I will stick to the terra cotta then. Just my two cents

Re: Updated list of active cactus sales???

eBay prices are terrible. Sometimes justified for rare plants but usually overpriced and then add ridiculous S&H.

Just my opinion.

Re: What cacti should everyone own?

How are you keeping it in zone 5??!! :? :shock: It’s not easy without a greenhouse. It goes to the basement in the winter time with a soft grow light on a timer. Springtime I bring it upstairs and place near a window. Once I am certain there is no frost coming I wait a little bit longer then bring ...

Updated list of active cactus sales???

Do we have an updated list of online stores to buy cactus? Yes, I do know of Miles2go and have used them a lot but who else has an extensive list and good prices?

I’m even willing to offer a small sum for a few plants. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, I know this is asking quite a bit. I wish I had something to tra...
