Post three

Hi everyone!

Today's post will be our first chosen topic, that means you'll have to write about your main hobby (or hobbies)

My hobby, as I've already told you, is related to biology, more specifically to growing plants. But also, not any kind of plants, cactus.

It all started very suddenly, I went from not liking these plants in general to loving everything about them and their cultivation. It was thge year 2008, and I visited Viña del Mar, that was when I first bought a set of different cactus that came all in one pot. After that I separated them and my collection got started.

From then, I started reading and learning about them, but also I started to know more and more people that had been growing them for a long time, that's how I learnt all I know today, that and also doing all kinds of experiments with sowings and grafting techniques.

Here you can see a couple of examples:

In these pictures you can see groups of recently germinated cactus
 

Another reason to love these plants, at least in my opinion, is their forms and flowers, here a couple more examples:

I hope you've enjoyed my post, and also I hope I can read about your hobbies now!
