| Good evening dear cacti-friends, oh dear - so little time. . . I will show the promised photos from Arizona in the coming days. Today only very few photos from today, December 3rd, 2020. Now in winter the greenhouses look so bleak - everything just gray. . . But when I look carefully. . . If I didn't already have some cacti and other succulents - I would collect some. . . They give me so much pleasure! 269397 269400 269402 269404 269408 269414 269419 269425 269430 269434 269437 269438 Courage dear friends! Best wishes K.W.

| We all thought we had the virus under control, but unfortunately nobody asked the virus if it agreed... | |

Good evening Jose, nobody in my family believed that. Beate my wife said in April that it would take two years. She is a veterinarian and not a virulogist, but that was clear to her and many medical professionals. But, as printed in the newspaper, the head of the health department in Cologne said in May that the virus is under control!!! It's really strange. Politics and society should have used the summer better to make further preparations for autumn and winter - little has happened. So it is sometimes very interesting to read old newspapers. . . Best wishes, K.W. | |

| Good evening dear cacti-friends, in another forum, USA, a plant friend asked me about the substrate I use. . . Good evening Keith, I only use purely mineral substrate, 90% pumice, 5% lava and 5% zeolite. The same substrate for all my plants, only the grain size is sometimes different. I mainly use the grain size 4 - 8 mm. For very small plants also smaller. Since I have some plants, I have the substrate mixed as I would like and delivered in big bags of 1000 liters. 269441 269444 Courage dear friends! Best wishes K.W.

| Good evening dear cacti friends, an American plant friend asked me about the sense or nonsense of my carport construction site. Nobody asks here - but I don't want to withhold my answer from you. . " Mike am 16.Dezember 2020: So K.W. At what point does one decide they have run out of room to expand and grow more plants. Now a carport. Soon a garage with lights added? Mike M " It's not about the space. . . It is important to create the best living conditions for the plants. Take a look where Sulcorebutia live. I cannot offer these temperature differences with constant air movement, lots of sun, always moisture in the morning in a greenhouse in Germany. I would have to build a high tech greenhouse for that. But a roof with quickly removable walls is just the thing for Sulcorebutia. If the temperatures do not stay below 0 ° C you will have plenty of air and light. If it stays cold, the walls come around and it is heated a little. I have been taking care of Sulcorebutia for about 25 years. As you can see, not without flowers. But maybe it could be even better? I had a part in the greenhouse all year round. These plants naturally bloomed earlier in the year but were not growing well. The other part was in the greenhouse in winter. Bloomed about three weeks later. Growth and health in outdoor-dining are very good. But in winter in the greenhouse there were more losses than in the year-round greenhouse residents. So I often think what I could do better. . . That's how it is when you spend too much time with cacti and co. And then of course you will be asked if you would like to expand the garages for the cacti. . . they wouldn't like it! Only in emergency. . . 131236 131296 131300 131418 131427 131456 131460 131479 131531 131547 131569 131577 131592 131595 131600 Courage dear friends! Best wishes K.W.
