why did i risk my sanity building shelves for 27 tiny cacti?

My wife’s cactus collection was taking over every windowsill in the house. I decided to build her some shelves, thinking it’d be a quick weekend project. Spoiler: it was not. Turns out, cacti love sunlight, so I had to measure every angle to make sure each little guy got its fair share. I even learned that grouping them by size helps with watering—smaller pots dry out way faster. Watching her line up each cactus on their new shelves made all the effort worth it. Now our living room looks like a mini desert, and the plants are thriving. If you’re thinking about displaying your own collection, make sure you plan for sunlight and easy access for watering. Trust me, your plants (and your partner) will thank you. #gardening #cactuslove #DIY
