Re: Welcome Craig Fry!
I'm a big fan of Turbinicarpus pseudpectinatus, and an even bigger fan of how you grow and photograph it.

Re: succulent tree + red flower I.D. help please!
Do you have a larger photo (larger file), something with a little more detail? The posted photo is 12KB in size and lacks any detail.

Re: How many plants do you have?
Gosh, probably 1500. It was approximately 1000 a year ago. I don't completely specialize, but I have many "themes"…mini-specializations. For instance Adromischus , Cotyledon , and Tylecodon …10 different Adenia species…Socotra species…many different Bursera , Commiphora , and Boswellia . M...

Re: Buying my first cactus, please help ID
Yeah I have a nice one overfilling an 8" clay pot. $1 to someone who wants to take it away. Handsome plants and not hard, but some of the worst glochids in the genus.

Always be skeptical of "new terrifying drug craze" reports.

Re: What the...?
I think CCC's mix can do fine if it's mixed with mostly pumice or perlite/pumice mix. But yeah I wouldn't use it unmixed. I'm using "dirty pumice" lately. I dempen some pumice and mix in some DG until it looks dirty, but it's still 90% pumice by volume…sometimes adding a little Bio-Tone or...

Re: Can I use this as part of my soil mix?
I know you already got your answer, but I'll add what I learned. Sphagnum is used a lot in the commercial production of orchids for sale. It retains so much water that they only need to fog the growing area, as I understand it. Unfortunately once hobby growers get those production plants home, sphag...

Re: Cuttings and Clonex in mid summer
I am growing on a dozen cuttings of Trichocereus pachanoi, one of my first cactus acquisitions. I did many things wrong: I was using too much (50%) Super Soil or Miracle Gro soil in my home "cactus mix" back then. I left them in the shade too long and they grew etiolated before I knew what...

Re: spine mealies outta control!
Hi CactusFanDan, you say to "dab them", but how could you dab thousands of mealies, especially on a plant with lots of spines and crevices? Or do you dab around them, and the volatiles affect mealies within a short range? I'm just trying to envision the technique. I finally got over my pes...
