Re: Ariocarpus Bravoanus flowering!

I am not sure of age.
I only use a couple drops of the MG succulent fert once a year.
It is a limestone medium.
I want to transplant it but I am kind of afraid to. That is because of the winds we get in Cali where Im at. Adds weight so wont topple over.

Re: Protection from rain/frost.

Yeah, that's why I'm considering a greenhouse. I don't want to stress them out, especially my Ariocarpus, by bringing them indoors every night with the heater running, etc. I thought about my workbench in the garage but I have chemicals and gasoline in there and I don't know how sensitive they would...

What do you think? What do you guys and gals do? I have always had my cacti in the elements but there is a thing as t...

Re: Looking for cactus advice...

I work odd hours so this works for me. They seem to like the filtered light and this way I don't have to use shade cloth, tissue paper, etc.
