Hello from central Minnesota!

Post by Cactusethan »

I have a large collection of cacti and other succulents (over 300 species).I love to grow all cacti/other succulents but, some of my favorites are Ariocarpus, Astrophytum, Euphorbias, Types of Opuntioideae, and Mesemsbryantheum species. I grow cacti inside and outside (cold hardy cacti outside).Also I love growing cacti by seed.

One question, how do you put pictures on a comment? It won’t work for me

If you click "full editor and preview" below the reply box, you will then see two tabs, "options" and three bars which will allow you to add attachments. Just add files and you can then insert them into your post! Preview your post first though because they tend to be super huge.

Welcome! I too am from Minnesota originally; Twin Cities, though. You may also be having issues with posting pictures if your pictures are too big, in which case you will want to make a copy on your computer to resize it first.

Looks really good. Do you have to heat it in the winter?
