RE: Blooming cactus - 5 year old Lobivia

After reading 5 years, I think I better avoid planting the seeds haha, although where I live the temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius, I guess that must help its growth, but after waiting so long I wouldn't be disappointed by the flower, it is still beautiful and photogenic, you know I love your pictures.

Hahaha Don't be discouraged! Some types bloom in their second year. I have those too :)
(some need 40+ years 😂). I enjoy the plants even without flowers. Some have interesting forms and spines. But I will not bore everyone with millions of spines shots. So I wait for flowers :)

Also depends. If they don't get direct sun in this temperatures, it might help. Seedlings should be protected from the sun for at least a year.
But when it gets too hot and dry, some types might go dormant. It is to prevent losing more moisture, since they are not getting any.

Sow them! :)

Damn, I thought I had some good pictures of spines haha, I'd better stop talking or I'll run out of ideas for posts.

Haha noooo show yours!

But you know.. I could shoot my 100 cacti over and over. And all the tiniest details between them. I can imagine it can be boring for most people :)
Even though they are all very photogenic!

I don't think so, I don't get tired of seeing pictures, I probably get tired of reading fake stories, but not when it's about real experiences that come with delicious pictures.
