It’s a tiny Ariocarpus - the big ones are insanely expensive, but this one is pretty too, and if it likes it’s new home it should grow big and strong around the time I retire :)

That one is Mammillaria hathiana, also known as Old lady cactus :)

Thanks! And yeah, we sure do - hope this one stays healthy, being different species and all - fingers crossed!

That one is a Whitesloanea crassa - kinda similar to pseudolithos that I love very much, but completely suck at growing, so they get deformed or just straight die on me more often than I’d like to admit… :(

The “spiky” one on the left is Euphorbia susannae, next to it is Crassula argyrophylla, and the one that looks like a little rose is Aeonium dordantale if I remember correctly.

That is absolutely gorgeous!

Can’t let kids know about sex until they’re old enough for catholic priests and MAGA republicans to lose interest in them - will someone think of the children diddlers!?

Disgusting, and a that librarian says in the article - it is only going to get worse…

In winter I do put the more delicate ones inside and cover the rack to create a mini greenhouse, but with global warming in full swing I might not have to do it for much longer, since Tokyo is turning tropical…

Thank you! That’s the problem though - it’s not particularly deliberate - we just put new ones wherever there’s still some room left ;)

I did actually order sone color labels yesterday, and I’ll be marking and rearranging them according to dormancy periods - it’s going to make watering way easier at least.

Right? Managed to kill too many Pseudolithos to admit, but I love them so much I keep trying to grow them… Knock on wood, my current indoor setup with a lamp seems to be working, so here’s hoping there are no more poor Pseudolithos victims of my ineptitude in the future :)

Thank you so much! The show had no photos policy unfortunately, but I might snap some pics of my collection later. It’s pretty chaotic and disorganized, and my veranda is a mess to boot, but maybe I can find some angles that are semi-presentable :)

I’m not a pro at this at all though - just a tryhard who loves weird plants and keeps getting more and more, even though some of them keep dying on him :(

I also let them grow freely in general. If they multiply I will split them into extra pots when re-potting, but they’re all too cute to throw out.

A lot, two or three merchants had only haworthias actually, but I didn’t get any.

The opuntia is a decent size, but the rest aren’t huge, yeah. I tend to buy smaller cacti, since I enjoy watching them grow (and they’re way cheaper when they’re small too ;))

Separately from that, it drives me mad how warped the idea of “consent” is in Windows (and in tech in general). “Later” is not the opposite of “Yes” goddammit!

Imagine sexual consent was similarly warped: Hey Becky, you wanna have sex? You can only answer “Yes, right now!” or “Maybe later,” and I’ll keep asking you FOREVER. So, what will it be?

I love these! Wife has a whole collection in different colors, they’re so pretty, aren’t they?
