Maybe :) But as I said at first page of topic, loggia is unusual word for me and I usually said 'balcony' (direct translate) in Russian. But for foreign people balcony is open (without windows) space.

It may be glassed also as it's usual here in the North but named balkony anyway.
PS Ma loggia è una parola molto specifica per l'architettura italiana. ;) Sorry for offtop.

I will share photos of roots my Echinopsis subdenuda

This plant almost not was growing this year, only about 0.5cm from growth point. But bloomed. So before repotting I was thinking that roots are not good because plant don't like soil mixture. But!

It was really unexpected for me. Roots are almost cleaned from previous soil because I want to change it to another. So on the photo clean roots. I believe this plant has one of the best root system in my collection right now.

Photo after repotting:

You have a really nice collection! I noticed a several cacti I used to have but don't have anymore because I killed them (one of them is Echinopsis subdenudata). Looks like you are more successful with it.

And you have such a good first experience with sowing cacti seeds =D>

I currently have my first experience with sowing too but I sowed my first seeds a bit later, just 2 weeks ago. Looks like we started to collect and sow cacti almost at the same time :D

Yep) Usually when I hear about someone who relocated from Ukraine/Belarus/Russia to Europa, this person is IT-shnik :) , but probably it's because of circle of friends.

Nice to meet you in this forum! Maxim, as I understand?

My next flowering plant. I expected that it will be first blooming cactus but M.elongata produced flowers much more faster.
