Hello guys,
this site was recommended especially in regards with grafting. I am relatively new to the sport, two years exactly, but have been in it passionately. I also like a lot vines, climbers of any kind, in a way the opposite extreme of cacti in the plant world! Thin annuals like some species of Ipomoea can grow as much as 10 cm per day and need support to climb on! On the other hand aztekium grows some mm per year.

I like many kinds of cacti and succulents

Faves include but are not limited to:
Fast growing columnar cacti + columnar cacti in general
Ferocacti and intensely spined or intense collor spined cacti like Stretsonia and Stenocacti
Slow growers with strange shapes like ariocarpus, lophophoras, aztekiums, tubinicarpus, astrophytums
E.enopla-like miniature columnar euphorbias
Aloes
Fast growing climber cacti
Monster/cristates

etc

I am in the process of making an outside cacti garden, have only planted few so far, going to finish it and plant more within the nest 3 -4 months as our spring will come in here

I am also planning to make a greenhouse to stage my experiments.

I hope I can too provide some interesting data or photos or something, because I sure can use your knowledge and experience, so thanks in advance for making this forum!

I also have some seedlings projects running..

G'day mutant, and welcome to the forum!

Welcome Mutant, I look forward to seeing more of you plants.

So what part of Greece are you from mutant? My granny from Greece is staying with us at the moment and she seems to be enjoying my cacti, Dad brings her out to have a peek when they get flowers
You'll have to keep us posted about how the outside garden survives the next winter there, you get much colder winters than us Aussies

I am from southern greece , peloponisos and by the sea, so we don't have very cold winters in general... but it seems february is gonna finally be a bit colder, as it goes..
