Finally outdoor

Post by Potosi »

They lived for 3-10 years indoors, now these bad boys will receive direct sunlight for 9+ hours.

Greetings from Mexico.

Nice. How did you acclimate your plants to the drastic change in growing conditions? Especially the extra light.

First they were on pots outside in a north facing wall. For about 20 days ( I hope this was enough) .

Then I planted them next to a south facing wall.

I hope they will be ready for next summer.

Great job, very nice plants! 👍 Afraid only that cereus may become huge in a very short time.🙂
