I am new to plants (I consider). I generally strayed away because I tend to kill plants and I love plants, so don’t want to keep that up. I got my first cactus in 2021 and I have to say, I have quite a collection of succulents now. I love them. I love in a very dark part of the US in the winter so they’ve never grown much or thrived well. But holy moly do grow lights work wonders!!!! (I told you I am a noob). Just a month under a grow light and things are happening with my cacti that I’ve not seen in two years. I am obsessed, haha. My favorite plant is still my first cactus - a Mammillaria elongata. It’s hot so many fingers growing. Even the one that fell off last year when my cat knocked it out of the window—- it’s starting to stretch!! Fun stuff!! I really enjoy cacti. What’s everyone’s favorite? Any suggestions?

    Old man of the Andes are one of my favs, the wispy white “hairs” look so cool. I got mine at Home Depot!

      Aw thanks! Lithops have the nickname ‘living stones’ hence Pebbles :) they are really cool plants and don’t require much care, I recommend them!
