Cacti

Has anyone any advice on cacti growing. I keep mine in a heated greenhouse and am thinking of ways to put them into a sand filled shelf.

I'm going to whiz you to general gardening diggerpete where you should get more viewings.

Hold tight

Hi Diggerpete.
I don't think you need to do anything with them at the moment. They don't need much heat in winter, just frostfree. No water in winter. Start when the clocks change in spring and stop when they change again in autumn.
Which types have you got?

Lots of good advice here: http://www.bcss.org.uk/growing.html

Sally, can you do ALL the moving posts from one section to the other from now on?

You make it sound so much fun

I'm not too sure what sorts I've got most were presents last year with no labels on two flowered though.
