Hello from Finland

#1

Post by anttisepp »

Greetings from Northern Europe!
It's great forum, I have visited here as a guest many times but opened account just now at last.
Here's very pretty friendly place, much useful information, great amount of valuable pictures.
I have been from my teens with cacti and succulents, now some hundreds of cacti and of cause different succulents.
I have two bad things in my hobby: 1. too difficult to stop when the world is full of many beautiful plants.
2. in years it's much more difficult to make season moves from greenhouse to winter place in garage and back (about 50m). :D
With all the best wishes,
Antti

Welcome! Looking forward to some pictures of your collection.

It sounds like you are in need of some plant moving drones ::wink:: !
It is what it is!

Beautiful!
Do you provide light in the garage during winter?

Thank you guys mcvansoest and gave_agave!
I have modest amount of usual tubes above my plants in garage for 12 hours a day. Winter temps are about +5-12C (sorry always bad with F).
Interesting that spring flowering cacti always recognize right time for blooming while the temps and light are always the same.
