I had a little consultation with a “blogger” (sucsforyou, but she is a lot more than a rando internet source) about my grow lights, specifically the ones that give off heat. It was as easy as “use your fan, hang your light higher.” Somehow, that inspired me to pull trigger on an Echinocactus/Kroenleinia grusonii. It’s obvs not a huge find, as these make up about 20% of the Home Depot plastic flower and googly eyes plants. I’ve just waited to have the right pot (thrifted) and hear one of them yell at me from the shelf. Pictured also is what’s growing in the back of the shop (Cactus and Tropicals in SLC, Utah). That pot holder did not save me, and I took that photo quickly so I could dislodge the plant from my hand.
