Cactus, succulent and some houseplants

[Heelllooo]

Following the post in the Other hobbys you have thread, anybody on this forum into cactus and succulent ?

They feel to me like the exact opposite to aquatic plants which I like.

I personally have a small collection, nothing fancy but I'm growing it slowly.

I wanted to do this post particularly because soon ( the week-end of the 9th of September) there will be the ELK.

For anybody in the benelux, it's in Blankenberge, on the coast of Belgium and it's one of the biggest Cactus/Succulent event in Europe.
There is conference and a big plant sale.

Now some pics of my plants :









And some houseplants



Sorry for the bad quality pictures.

I have a collection of dozens miniature succulents, just not the thorny cactus type. I scrape them in half gallon bowls, and train some into bonsai trees. They receive 6+ hour filtered sunlight on my west facing window, still not enough PAR to retain red on red cultivars. This is in contrast to my outdoor arrangement where red Sedum stay red.
