Thanks for that great slide and book, Jerry!
It is a hot summer -21, so most cactuses grow well, like Stetsonia and P. pringeli.
But my small T. passacana that is adapted for living on extreme high and cold altitudes, is unhappy, so i keep it in the fridge in the nights to give it some rest in lower temps!

Oh!! I miss my old O humifusa!jerrytheplater wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 12:57 am This paperback book by John Spain is the product of his life's study growing winter hardy cacti in cold and wet winter areas. I've met the author personally at a cactus club. He is in his 90's now and no longer gardening. He is an extremely knowledgeable person. Our Forum owner sells it on his site. I can highly recommend it.

In fact, the Connecticut Cactus and Succulent Society is posting up John's slide shows from the talks he's done on the subject. Here is the link: https://www.ctcactussociety.org/john-spain-slide-shows
