My modest collection

We all agree that COVID brought absolute wrath on humanity in last 2 years but there were some advantages as well, at least personally for me. Back in late 2020, I started collecting cactus on my sunnier balcony and within a year, this hobby became passion and the collection grew rapidly. So much so that I don't have any space left now
I am starting this blog to share few of my beauties. I hope you will enjoy these as much I do.
I live in a location (Mumbai, India) which has tropical humid climate with incessant rains for atleast 3-4 months. Practically speaking, it's extremely challenging to keep them thriving but I am doing my best. Any tips, help and suggestions will be extremely helpful.

Thanks guys! I know that in my climate, they won't flower as much as they do in colder climate. So, I don't miss to capture if I see flower every now and then

Here is my one of the most prized collection.

Few blooms today. Turbinicarpus are one of my favourites. Primarily because they don't need lots of spaces
