Hi from Lincoln, I’m pretty new to the cactus world but seem to have got the bug.
I’m hoping to pick up tips from the guys & galls on here as I go along, I’ve started going through a few old posts, so much information here to point me in the right direction.
I’m sure I will be back with questions soon.

Welcome to the forum!
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Welcome from the other side of the pond! And it seems we're sharing the same boat. I, too, joined recently although have had a thing for cacti many years. I arrived here by looking for best cactus care and soil. Found out I had the soil part 80%+ wrong, lol. Fixed that this past week. Fingers crossed I save my plants.

Hi Billy,
I'm another 79 year oldie from Nottingham UK. I have a cactus only collection of around 900 plants. I have been a member of the British Cactus & Succulent Society Nottingham Branch since 1961.
