    It's probably because they need feeding and/or repotting. I must get around to it next spring.

      Mine are all badly neglected now, just remnants of what I had some years ago.
      The big ones have got too big to repot and a lot of the smaller ones tend to not get fed.
      I lose a few most years now.

        My big ones will be difficult to repot too but I haven't got many like that now, several have died recently, so I've got mostly small ones now.
        I can't resist buying them though, I bought three new ones last week ! but they were small, and ones I didn't have.

              Having restarted my cactus collection, after returning from the Land of Oz, I was very pleased to get these two beauties to flower, this summer.
