I want one for my cactus garden.  Well, it's pretty much a rock garden now, as the cactuses need to do a lot of growing.

That looks like a nice little area. Be nice when the cacti are bigger.

Awesome awesome and plenty of room to grow.

I have one too that I keep in a planter, although it'll keep inside still through the winter

I was hesitant to start plants, but it's been fun to just keep them watered. I've not done anything over the top, just planters.

Thanks guys.  The white stone is white marble chips.  It only cost me $300 per yard.  They sparkle in the sunlight.  The other stones were 3 to 4 dollars per pound.  It was worth it, though.  Virtually no weeding is needed.

Awesome 👍 less upkeep and more permanent the better. That ain't cheap, but looks nice squared off like that, let's hope the cacti grow shapely as well.

I have a green thumb.  Well, it was a little red after trimming up that bad boy in the center...

Will those cacti on the outside get much bigger?

It does look big doesn't it! I think it depends on water regularity, but I've never maxed out one

Once it grows too big for the planter, I stop watering as much, probably not the best compared to actual pruning. It works though haha.

I kept cacti and venus fly traps as a kid. They were fun, and very hard for me to kill. I can't remember much about their care and maintenance, though.

Yes.  They will all get much larger.

Over 80 degrees 19 days in a row and counting.  I used to live just barely south of the border from Quebec for 57 years.  Happy to be snow free now.    I just finished planting Lemon, Key Lime, Banana and Pink Grapefruit trees as well.

I know a lot of people enjoy grapefruit, a bit too tart for me, but the 1st thing I thought of with the first 3 was PIE!!

Glad to hear you're making time for it

I'm terrible with directions. So many times I've been asked, given directions, watched them walk off, then realised I've sent them the wrong way. I leave the scene immediately so they can't come back to me.
