Hi I am trying to get a collection going, I am am on a disability pension and thought this a good hobbie to get into as I am stuck at home a fair bit, so if anyone can help me out that would be great.

I take note of your situation but that is a big ask from a brand new member. Show some interest in the forum and contribute....then the plants will come Smile

Thanks for the warm welcome, I will try and contribute, but not sure I have a lot to offer as I am just starting out. Have been reading through trying to learn a little.

Try starting some cacti from seed, it is challenging but very rewarding. Seeds can be found cheap or for free Smile

After reading through the forums I have decided to give that a go. Have posted a message asking for advice on that in the forums. Thanks

There some cool South American cacti that might be a bit easier to grow in your area to start off with. Trichocereus for example will do fine outside all year round. They're impossible to kill here. Touch wood.
If it's not too much trouble and your ever in the city some time, visit queen vic market. There is an awesome cacti stall there that has a good variety.
I started from going to nurseries and buying anything that made my jaw drop.

Hellonasty is right about coming onto a forum immediately asking for plants. So hang about and learn some stuff in the mean time. Smile

Eric if you are able to get to Croydon Market on a Sunday or Monday there are a couple of stalls which often have a small number of cacti for sale for just a few dollars, I purchased a little echinopsis for $1 just recently. Unfortunately most are unmarked and often the stall owners aren't sure what they are either, but if you want some cheap cacti to get started it would be worth a visit.

Good luck, I have only just started collecting cacti myself and am finding it a very interesting hobby, it's amazing how much there is to learn. Smile

Most local markets will have numerous people selling cacti, i found most my collection at markets.
Also, Big W, Bunnings and etc will all have Mammillaria and usually Ferocactus if they stock Cacti + Succulents.

Thanks for the replies, I have limited funds being on a pension so I think growing from seed will be my best option and will give me a challenge.

Look under Echinopsis, there are some classic tricho's under that name. I just bought a bunch of tricho pachanoi seeds from this site but they're listed under Echinopsis.
