The cactus seedlings started this summer have now all been brought indoors. As the weather cools down it becomes very wet here and the stress on them is too risky. Most species of older cacti seem to be fine getting more outdoor sun at the end of the summer, but the will be indoors under lights soon too.
There was a period of dry weather for about 3 weeks and the seedlings had gone into a state of rest. They are very wet now and it will be interesting to see if they start a new growth cycle or stay at rest. I will let them dry out for over a month and then give them small amounts of water over the winter.
Hopefully, no destructive insects have come in with the seedling trays, and I will have to watch for them too.
