I'm located in upstate New York, which definitely isn't the kind of climate that cacti and succulents thrive in. I also do not have space for a garden, as I share a small outdoor area with others in my apartment building.
That said, I would love to grow food for my tortoise, especially because harsh winters here leave me unable to harvest weeds and other plants from outside, and I'd rather not rely on store bought greens for months out of the year. Does anyone have experience or suggestions for growing tortoise seed mixes and cacti (opuntia) indoors, and for specific plants that can be thrive inside? I currently have a couple of potted aloe plants and a potted Opuntia rubescens sitting outdoors temporarily, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience growing Opuntia ficus-indica indoors? Moreover, how would I best grow them indoors? Under some kind of grow light, maybe?
Any help is much appreciated!
