The cacti in 2010 (III)

In the spring I have scanned my collection. The Fliess (again after a few weeks away) to the rear wheels to protect the cacti from burns. In the course of the year on the front page was still a shelf added, because the space was no longer sufficient.

Today I will present a few blooming Thelocacteen. You are in my top shelf, so they get full sun. All Thelocacteen require a porous mineral substrate, somewhat sensitive to moisture, water, therefore, only moderate (beet root), absolutely, dry and cool winter at about 6-10 ° C.
are spherical to elongated, not very large expectant plants, with a partially colored spines.

After 4 months in hibernation (5-8 ° C), which is not cast in shrink, some cacti considerably. Here is a Thelocactus lloydii. During this time, some plants by up to 50% less than those in the growing season.

The cacti in 2010 (II)

Turbinicarpus members of the genus, in short, the Turbini's, there are only two years ago in my collection. They are all very small, usually spherical cactus, which form a beet root. Some species bloom in early spring. For other flowers can be admired until late autumn. They feel most comfortable in a mineral substrate, it must be poured very carefully, winter-dry at 5-8 ° C.

The cacti in 2010 (I)

Jetzt, wo draußen alles grau und trüb ist, eben typisches Novemberwetter, ist eine gute Zeit das Kakteenjahr in Wort und Bild vorzustellen. Aufnahmen habe ich in diesem Jahr genug "geschossen". So dürfte es mir leicht fallen nach und nach einige Kakteengattungen vorzustellen.
Momentan halten meine stacheligen Kollegen im beheizten (5-8°C) Gewächshaus bzw. im Haus auf dem Spitzboden (10-15°C) ihren Winterschlaf. Wenn alles gut geht erwachen sie im nächsten Frühjahr wieder und erfreuen uns mit herrlichen Blüten.
Typische Frühjahrsblüher sind die Rebutien. Es ist eine kleinwüchsige Gattung, die unkompliziert in der Haltung ist. Bei entsprechender Haltung (kühle und trockene Überwinterung) they are not to prevent blooming. Some members of this genus are also in my collection.
