planting cactus plants
Does anyone have a good suggestion for indoor lighting for cactus plants during winter?

Mine look kind of yucky now that they are inside.

Normally when moving plants inside during the winter or repotting them in spring, they can go into a temporary shock state. I’m not a expert but from my own experience try using special light bulbs you can buy from a garden center or similar store. They will tell you how many hours to keep the light on per day and you can buy a timer to turn them on/off if you are not around at those times.

Prickly and frequently taking strange shapes, cacti often thrive when given minimal care–and sometimes languish when owners nurse them to death. This handsomely illustrated book introduces plant growers to the basics of cactus care and cultivation, then presents an alphabetized directory of roughly 50 varieties–from Acanthocalycium to Uebelmannia pectinifera. Only avid plant lovers need remember the scientific names. More practical for plant growers, and shown in stunning photographs, is the magnificent variety of cactus flowers that blossom from the unusual and fascinating shapes of these plants.
