They're kind of a hobby of mine.

I just finished replanting all of my cactuses. I filled the container about a third full of rocks and gravel for drainage, added plenty of cactus potting mix, gave them room for their roots, mixed succulent food into their water, I think we're good to go.

I was gifted A through P by @nsomniacsdream for Christmas. P was dead on arrival, and H died a few weeks later. I'm trying very hard to keep the rest of them alive. I added Q to the family back in February, and just got R last week. Yesterday I sprayed them all down with fungicide/insecticide because a lot of them were covered in white fluff (I swabbed off as much of the fluff as I could before spraying).

I've been watering them every 2 - 3 weeks, but I just bought a hydrometer to check the soil in case I was overdoing it. That'll get rid of most of the guesswork.

Leaving them in the windowsill for the last six months gave them bad sunburn, so I moved them first to my desk, then to a bookshelf across the room. Now I don't think they'll get enough sun, so I might buy a UV light for their little corner. I don't know how practical or safe that is. If anyone with a green thumb follows me, I could definitely use some suggestions.
