This is the third category I've made for my cactus (and succulent) collection. These plants need temperatures above 50F for best growth. I bought a large LED fixture to grow these plants. I took a photo of the setup on Nov 18, 2022. I took a 4'x4' sheet of plywood I bought as a damaged 4x8 sheet for really cheap and sealed the surfaces with spray paint. I then took some 3/4" copper tubing I had laying around and made a frame to support the LED light. I made it so all of the fittings have a slip fit. Nothing is soldered. It can be broken down in the spring and stored. I also have guy wires providing stability for the supporting frame so it does not wobble too much when I hit it with my head when trying to water or look at the plants.
