Fired up Big Bertha for the year, since the greenhouse has been flirting with the 110°f line for over a week. It’s time.

I‘m completely clueless here, so please don‘t mind if this is a stupid question: Do solar panels work in your climate and do they make much energy?

They do. We’re the second or third sunniest city in the US, you often see them on the roofs of parking structures etc. Frankly they should be on top of every single building in the city.
I had looked into it for my greenhouse but it wasn’t terribly practical.

hope it flowers
I didn’t have a pot to fit the new Ti plant, it’s in its nursery pot & was sitting inside a black plastic bucket. So I taped a stripe on the bucket and spray painted the rest in white. Looks good from across the room, lol.

As much bright light as you can give them. Never top water, should be sitting in a bowl of water about 1/2" deep. Not tap water - distilled or reverse osmosis water only. No fertilizer, ever.
Re: sundews…I’m on the other side of the world so can’t really help you with where you can get them.

There is one at my office that I’m trying to nurse back to health. It’s pretty sparse but the new growth looks healthy! It’s a low maintenance plant but didn’t do well being completely neglected!

So apparently these little green fellas at the base are the beginnings of my oranges!
And those growths on my tephrocactus are now almost certainly flowers! There’s too many for it to be new segments. So, first time with flowers on this one 
Lastly -
Sometimes I look back at my greenhouse and think, “this is a dream”

I’ve just repotted this big boy🌵
I’m not really a cactus kinda girl, but I inherited him a couple of years ago when my mum passed. He is 52cm tall, but he hasn’t really grown since l have him.
Maybe now with a bigger pot and new soil🤞

And this cactus I saw on my neighborhood walk - I’ve never seen one of these with red flowers, always yellow.

Yay! Congrats on the blossoms. The red nopales were always my favorite. We had some in the backyard of my last place.
