BrendanCS said:James, great sounds good! I may try the smaller one out first since I'm not sure how they'll react to the water reservoir at the bottom of the pots (no drainage holes)

I'm trying to find tall pots though so that their roots can extend down to the water and not actually sit too much in the water. Hopefully I find two containers for these cacti and they grow well. I'd love to see them flower eventually. The taller one needs more light I think. It has a weird small bump at the top that isn't the same width as the rest. Hopefully direct under the grow lights will help it.

You may experience problems with water sitting in the bottom of the containers (no drainage holes) - the long standing adage is: "cacti and succulents hate wet feet!"

I am not sure grow lights will provide enough ultra-violet light to aid in flowering - but I have never grown plants under grow lights and I know there have been great advances in grow-light technology in recent years.

BTW, I fixed the error in the URL link in my previous post.
