Sulcos are fantastic! Even just half of them blooms in May that will do the show.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Good evening dear cacti-friends,
warm and sunny weather in Köln. Flowers, flowers, flowers and so little time. . .
Hopefully I will be able to show more photos soon.
At the moment I take 300 to 400 photos every day.
The plants are trying hard and I hardly have time and leisure.
Here we go. . .

everything is usually so pristine and it's hard to imagine any of your plants dying. Well now we have proof not all is perfect in the greenhouses.

Good evening dear cacti-friends,
good evening Mike my friend,
yes this happens from time to time.
Last winter I lost maybe 40 plants. . . That's a lot and I'm sorry for each one!
But on the other hand, I'm talking about 0.5%. . .
Then the sorrow is put into perspective.
Of course, things can always be worse than expected. . .
I will come back to that.
Today and the coming evenings I would like to show flowers from May 30, 2022, big pardon, a lot of flowers!!!
I'll just get started. . .

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Good evening dear cacti-friends,
I hope you are all well and have survived my Sulcorebutia attack well until here. . .?
Today comes with the 5th part of the Sulcorebutia flowers the last challenge.
In the further post's there are then completely "normal" blooms of completely "normal" other cacti.
Nevertheless or because of that have fun.
I was asked. . . My Sulcorebutia live in the outdoor-dining.
They like a lot of wind and fresh air.
Direct sun, but maybe not all day.
Plenty of water and fertilizer at the time of growth and flowering.
In winter, cool to minus 5 ° Celsius from time to time.
Dry from November to March, but if it is mild in January or February even a light "rain".
AND fresh air, air, air. . .
