Awesome collection, Ralf!
I like how all the pots are nicely organized. Something I need to work on

Very clean and organized!

Are all these plants in the greenhouse over winter? I assume that is not a problem since you heat it. How do you deal with humidity in the winter?

My goodness, I love this greenhouse of yours. Exactly what I really really I hope for when I want a greenhouse.
Very organised, very clean, and nice collection of Mammilaria!

WOW, thank you so much folks.

No! Some plants like e.g. Notocactus, Melocactus, Pilosocereus and several other more warmness loving plants are in my house.

daiv wrote:How do you deal with humidity in the winter?

That is really a small problem for me. Ventilation isn't possible during the winter. Because of the propane heater the humidity rises up to 95%. So I do use an air dehumidifier. That brings the humidity down to around 65% and thereof it is somewhat air movement in the greenhouse.

Ariocarpus

Lophophora

Nice collection!
Do you also love the Eps, Tricho, Hildewintera hybrids? Cause they love it in Germany, also in the Flanders.

Thanks!
No, I don't like hybrids. I do only collect botanical species. Of course I've some few hybrids but it isn't so important for me.
For me it's more important, to get genetic clean and documented plants.
