This is my small collection of cacti and succulents after one year

Thanks! Over here there's only a handful of nurseries so getting to auctions is the only way to build a collection of more mature plants. I'm really happy with what I've put together so far!
Very nice. I like'em.

Your Lophophora williamsii staging with the slate and Totoro looks really good!

I started collecting cactus 26 years ago. It's addictive, you need to know. ;)

How long have you been collecting? This year I've found myself being brutal with the cacti I don't really like, gradually replacing them with what I enjoy collecting. With such a small greenhouse I know I have to be strict with the number I can grow. On another note, starting the arid bed shelter this week for a video next weekend!
Do you heat the greenhouse in the winter mate?

I do, I have a small bar heater with a thermostat. I explain the setup in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZiLw9Ogp5XFZbg.html

£100 for the full haul, £55 for the cinerea! I'm not knowledgeable (or brave) enough to degraft but I will bury the grafting stock eventually. Should be fine with 100% inorganic and I won't be watering it until spring.
