When I got into gardening many years ago cacti and succulents were my focus. I am glad I went with that choice, besides the occasional spine in my skin they are real easy to care for outdoors. When you live in an area that does not have freezes cacti and succulents are those kind of plants you can usually just plant and forget about. But once they get established its pretty amazing to see the growth and unique flowers they produce over the years. In many cases the only water they need is from rains, though sometimes long droughts you need to help them out. But for the most part less care is better for cacti.
Here are a few minnows on the Hive blockchain that are into cacti and succulents as well.

Seeing flowers form on cacti are special occasions. Many take years to form and when they do, sometimes they do not come back for years at a time in my experience. @ludmila.kyriakou talks about how growing this kind of cactus has some special needs and gives advise on how to care for them. A flower formed on theirs and a few pictures of it are in the post.

Starting a cactus from a seed is something I have not tried yet, though someone on the Hive blockchain indeed has had luck with doing this. A 3 month old Dragonfruit plant is growing and showing its first signs of live. Its amazing how slow it grows and requires alot of patience.

This cactus has been in their family for many years, longer than @darine.darine can remember. It has grown ball shaped growths on the plant but now it produced a flower, and this has happened only once in the many years its been around.

Adding some succulents into crafts has always interested me, these little plants can grow in just about anything. And @nhaydu shows us a dreamcatcher with little succulents inside that can be hung. That is some great art made there using some live plants.
Thats my curation of five minnows on the Hive Blockchain for the week. Stay tuned next week to see the next five of Solo's picks.
