Cereus norvegicus - The Norwegian Candle Cactus. Grows in the Fjords of Norway and Sweden. Beautiful plumage :)

That's frightening Zigs.

It's not been reported anywhere else on the planet as far as we can find. Think we may well have a first. I've contacted the local newspaper about it, got to start somewhere :)

We made a 4 day timelapse to see if they responded to bowls of water, not sure if they noticed them or not :eek:

I’ve recently been growing succulent and cactus from seed and have had a mix of successes and failures. My plant room tends to be on the humid side and I’m thinking of doing something like what you’ve done ( on a smaller scale) as I’m really starting to love the variety of cacti.
Maybe a small greenhouse kit dedicated to desert dwellers.

Humidity wouldn't be the best thing for cacti so it'll be good if you can get the greenhouse together Eeilee :) Gets up to 100's in the sun in mine which is lovely as long as you provide some shade too :)
