First time flowering
I have never gotten my Pseudolithos to flower before. Hoping I get some seed pods.

Let’s Be Better Than The Other Place
Hoping to get more posts and traffic here. Seeing a rise in the number of very stretched out cacti in the other sub. I’d love to make this a place we can talk about and show off our healthy well cared for plants.
What’s your favorite cactus or succulent?
What would you like to see in this sub?

What’s it like? & Other Newbie Questions
Like so many I’m looking to break away from Amazon. It’s tough to know what’s real or not because many Kobo users have nothing but praise and vice versa. My first question is what is the layout like? Do you still see your library with covers displayed?
How easy is it to use Libby to borrow books? I read that you can’t have multiple library cards in the Kobo ecosystem, is this true? Do you find most books are available for the system?
How realistic is it to transfer Kindle books to Kobo? I hear it’s easy but I don’t want to download 5 black market programs, clap 5 times, prick my finger, and pray to the guardian of the Northern watchtower only to find out Amazon just patched it so it’s impossible.
Finally those who switched, was it worth it and why?

Ground Cover
I need a low growing ground cover here. It gets blasted by full sun most of the year. I tried Australian astroturf and it burned up. I’ve got lippia in another spot but it’s too scraggly.

Maihuenia poeppigii
These really want to slowly creep over rocks and ground but I like the hanging pot look.

20 Gallon Pots
I’ve got the trellis down. Now I need pots. Where are you guys finding the 20 gallon nursery pots? I found one source but they are super flimsy. My local nurseries have the harder plastic ones but only in 15 gallon or less. I see some on Amazon but they are almost $30 each, which maybe is correct but it seems high.

It's really beautiful in the sunset
These are multi-headed Mammillaria humboldtii. I just happened to find the perfect angle to capture them together with the sunset. The soft golden light gently falling on them is absolutely mesmerizing.
They all grew from tiny little offsets and are now over 8 years old. I guess that's the beauty of growing plants—nurturing them from tiny step by step. There are failures along the way, and not many make it to full maturity. But when they finally do, the sense of fulfillment is just unmatched.

A Mammillaria humboldtii with super many "heads"
It's almost 17cm now. It's not grown from seed, but from offsets. Watching it gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

B. recurvata x C. hookeri
Calibanus is no longer valid and is now Beaucarnea but I keep the original cross name for the historical value. At least that’s what I tell myself.
