is it possible to only let a member have a signature after they have had a reasonable amount of posts.

Also have a report as spam function so that if say, 10 members dislike a post for being spam its automatically deleted and the spammer executed.

Probably easier said than done though.

they must have been like Andy Dufresne coming out of the "can" in the shawshank redemption.
Tell me, will they get their colour back?
I had a euphorbia enopla that had sprouted lots of new stems but they all look shrivelled and dead now

Sorry. reading back that seems a bit confusing.
They were indoors for nearly 6 months with no light and ive put them straight out into direct sunlight.

I think i might have done some serious damage to my cacti. I moved house recently from a flat which had a very sunny balcony where the cacti were getting a lot of sun. my new house needed some work and i kept them all indoors getting no light at all then when i built the decking i moved them all out...

Ill need to buy 10,000 pots as the fruits are packed haha.
wonder what would happen if i just planted one of the red fruits.

I just bought a fairly big melocactus the other week and it has started producing fruit from the cephalium. very surprised how quickly the fruit gets pushed out, one day nothing then the next a large shiny red fruit. Id like to know if the seeds in the fruit are capable of producing more plants or a...

Thanks Hob, looks like mealybugs. they are around the spines of the plant and its quite bare around the top where they are hanging around. so if they are in the spines that might mean the roots are ok?

I think my cacti has some kind of pest, i can see little silk pockets full of what i think are eggs. and i can also see some kind of bugs(they look like little weevils or ticks, tiny) on it crawling around. Ive separated the plant for now but will i have to lose it? i bought it like that with the si...

I would like to suggest echinopsis oxygona. it looks exactly like my one that i got identified on here. My one is a good bit older than yours and only produced its first flower this year due to it being looked after a bit better. i have a few buds coming now so i am expecting another bunch of flower...

Is that some kind of pet cemetry you have going on there?

Ok an update on the cactus. :) http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2809_STA71513_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2809_STA71512_1.jpg i took Daivs advice and repotted using cactus soil, the soil that it was in before was more like mud.i also pulled off all the fuzzy buds except one ...

Just a few questions regarding my cactus. The large one that i got identified as an echinopsis has given off a load of pups. Ive just popped them off and potted them and some of them are growing very fast. Questions, Is my cactus going to produce pups indefinetely and are the pups going to produce t...

Thanks. i thought it was an echinopsis after seeing the pictures of them but there are so many different types. Yes the buds have been there a while.years even. i only got this cactus after my mum had it for years and i think its not had much TLC just water and possibly baby bio fertilizer. ill re-p...

Hi all. New to the forum. Id like you to identify this cactus. I would say its common enough as i bought it at a jumble sale nearly thirty years ago!!! It is 10-12 inches tall....has sharp rigid spines and a smattering of fuzzy buds(dark but getting whiter at the tips) Its given off 20 "babies&...
