Mr. Cactus and His Family

Originally, I just wanted a few cacti. Then I had the idea: “Why not grow some myself?” What could possibly go wrong? Well… quite a lot — especially when it came to the amount of space I had. I quickly realized that cacti are surprisingly easy to propagate. A few plants turned into more and more offshoots, the offshoots grew into new cacti, and before I knew it, there were little pots everywhere. Suddenly, I had an entire cactus family and found myself wondering: “Did I actually grow them — or did they grow me?” 🌵 In the end, I learned that sometimes something starts very small and develops in a completely unexpected way. But that’s often where the beauty lies — simply trying, letting things grow, and enjoying the result.
