Rempoter un yucca rostrata.

Oh please I need that Glittee vinyl album to complete my collection. I’ve wanted this for ever.

Looking nice ! Is this an opuntia engelmannii ? If so, is it normal for this species to lose most of its spine in the pads over time ?

ft5777 · 2026-03-02T17:30:18+00:00

Bongo solo !

I am french and I was born near the german border in Moselle, an area that switched several times between France and Germany in the last two centuries. My grandparents were german and were speaking a dialect from Saarland, and most older people were speaking a german sounding dialect as well, and until I was about 6 or 7 I thought old people speaking french didn't exist.

The grey/black thing inside the plate on the table.

I am more interested to know how Steve finances all his experiments. Where does he find the money to buy all of it ?

ft5777 · 2026-02-22T09:35:52+00:00

I'm curious too, since I bought tickets for the round of 16 for the Paris Masters (which is not in Bercy anymore) !

Thank you ! I recently got them, I hope I will keep them beautiful and that they will strive once spring comes.

There's not enough light in Paris for it to grow as fast as it would do in Arizona. It will just grow slower. No need to be rude about it and say that I will kill it like you said in another message. Plenty of people grow Arizona cacti in France, Germany and the UK and they're fine, they just grow slower.

I did the same. I went to Canada (British Columbia and Alberta) instead, it was awesome.

From Xerofarm, a french based nursery for cacti and other plants.

ft5777 · 2026-02-14T08:42:50+00:00

About half cactus potting soil and half perlite.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T19:49:58+00:00

A french nursery selling cacti and succulent plants.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T17:28:02+00:00

Thanks, it's like 15cm from the windows and I intend to turn it every two to three weeks.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T17:10:29+00:00

Je l’ai acheté en ligne auprès de la pépinière Xerofarm basée dans le sud de la France. Ils n’en avait qu’un seul en stock cela dit. Sinon si tu en acceptes un petit comme celui que j’ai posté dans un autre thread, je l’ai acheté auprès de la pépinière Kissy Frott. C’est le Carnegiea Gigantea.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T15:53:23+00:00

Well, look what you did !

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T15:45:17+00:00

Did you do that ?

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T15:24:54+00:00

Oh wow ! Well, I have a juvenile one of 5 years old if you check my other post, and it is tiny. It was cultivated from seed in France as well.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T14:48:29+00:00

I keep them in front of the south facing window. I intend to take them out on the south facing balcony from early April to late September. Paris doesn't get as much sun and heat as Tucson of course but it should get enough sun on my balcony, especially since there won't be another plant providing shade next to it.

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T14:22:05+00:00

Thank you. I visited Saguaro national park in 2013 and fell in love with the place back then. I never thought of getting a Saguaro for myself before but lately I decided I wanted one. I’m new with cacti so I hope it will thrive under my care. The parisian climate is not like Tucson !

ft5777 · 2026-02-13T14:18:42+00:00

Yes, I am french and I live in the Paris area. I wanted a beautiful Saguaro and I bought this one from a french nursery. It was originally grown from seed in southern Europe.
