My Established Succulent and Cacti Plants in the Picture Window of Our Living Room- April 12, 2021
 

The following are three of my cacti (two in bloom) here in Northern California

In the Gardens of Chateau Du Mer in Boac, Marinduque, Philippines I have collections of orchids, hibiscus and euphorbias besides cacti and succulents.

I have more than a dozen varieties, half of them I grew in pots and the rest outside. I planted them in pots, so during the rainy season, I could move them away from the torrential rains of Marinduque. 

 

I have one favorite(above photo) that belongs to the Agave specie. It looks like a big rose. It is a slow grower. I think it is called the century plant. It will not bloom after 50 years or more. I planted it 10 years ago( only about 2 inches). Now it is only about 15 inches high and 10 inches wide. So far, it has only one shoot( I call it the cactus baby), that I transplanted into a pot and watch it grow very slowly. I try not to over water it. For as they say, cactus and succulents thrives well with neglect. 

 

I have these 5 varieties of Aloe Vera, also. They grow like weeds in the tropical climate of the island.

Here are videos about cacti and succulents for your information!
