18 Months Progress: Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus its Loph roommate. Grown in high-altitude windowsill

I wanted to share some hard-grown progress with the experts here.

​These have been living in my Denver windowsill for the last 18 months. They spent the first 6 months acclimating while I dialed in the light (see evidence of loph sunburn), but they have really hit their stride since.

​Light: High-UV Colorado sun. SE facing window, filtered through curtain sheer. 7am to 1pm roughly for light.

​Substrate: scenic hills standard loph and ario mix. Top dressings optimized for visuality

​Climate: 25% average humidity

Photo 1 is the Ario now

Photo 2 is the Ario before 18 months ago

Photo 3 is the loph now

Photo 4 is the loph before 18 months ago

Photo 5 is them together

​Curious what you guys think of the form and the wool development
