Ok, that is vy easy. If you are in the USA, get some 2-3″ pots of any echinopsis and mammilaria species fr the big box stores. They are popular in collection and bloom and clump at a young age. You can enjoy the plant and at the same time can be the starter plants for ur future garden. It is best to stay away fr the fast growing types. New installation in my new sun garden.

You also have to consider that cactus and succulents have minimum temperature to survive. Most tender succs are hardy ‘to 25-30F. U can try to google the USDA Climate Zone where u may consider to live.
