        Baby cacti! In a couple of years, this is going to look very different.

            There is a coffee shop 3 blocks from my house that saves all of their used grounds and bags them up in 10 lb bags for (free) garden use

            These guys are a big fan

              Very beautiful. Do you consciously influence the soil pH to get those colors, or do you just let it be?

                @endo I think i read somewhere about the color/soil ph relationship but my main goal was to perk them up (they started 4-5 years ago as a flower in a small pot from my grandmothers memorial service)

                The bold purple color was a bonus from the acidity in the coffee grounds i think

                                Just picked and ate my first habanero of the year. Small but packed a kick and the flavour was superb. Probably the best tasting chilli I typically grow.

                                            These were grown from trimmings of a 30-40 year old jade plant
