Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I have two Euphorbia polygonas that were purchased from a nursery back in July and have kept them on with success so far...they flowered in late August outside in full sun, but I moved them inside under growlights because of insect damage and was getting ready to cool ...

Choosing strictly from that list Mesa seed has never failed.

Hi Alber, any fluorescent light 12 inches above seedlings in your house will do or just place close to a South facing window. Room temps should be alright. If they start to turn red simply back them away from the light source...good luck with the little seedlings! http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/use...

Beautiful! Please put up pics to show their progress from time to time!

Thanks Iann! If you don't already have a book of knowledge published you should, I will be first in line to buy it! The mature nelii with the two leaves died back...I mean dead like two crispy bacon bits. Thank you very much! http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4341_cheers_2.gif P.S. I have no i...

Hi to all! Hope all is good. I have about a dozen each nelii and compactus canus germinated. They are about four - five weeks old and the nelii have developed thier first set of true leaves. Wondering if they will grow more leaves through this winter and/or at what age will they start a yearly cycle...

After that someone turned me on to succulents and I was out of control!LOL! If your going to have an addiction it's a pretty good one to have...welcome ag...

Hi ata! I have a similar growing situation here in RI...using a lot of grow lights with good results thus far...nice to have you here!

Hello to everyone! Been without a PC for a while...hope you are all well! Wondering if most Lithops varieties can be grown together in one pot. The reason I ask is because I purchased a few different varieties of seed from a South African seed company and the germination ratio is very low for the mo...

Hi, I am currently trying to germinate some Liyhops,Conophytums,Titanopsis and Hawothias along with some cuttings from a nursery(all south African varieties)and am a little confused after reading some entries here at the forum.I was under the impression that they are all winter growers,anywhere from...

Hi everyone, I have just been looking at some beautiful Conophytum obcordellum plants and noticed they look very similar to lithops. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/4341_390Conophytum_obcordellum_ssp_ceresianum2_1.jpg I would love to germinate a colony of these and was wondering if they shou...

Hell all, I have two Huernias, a thureti and a zebrina that finally awoke and started growing. Also expecting a flavopurpurea soon. They are under growlights at about 16,000 foot candles a day and shortly after the new growth the nice green new area is turning a very pretty purple color. Is this nor...

Copy that Darryl, many like to hybridize for the funky colors and forms, especially the windows. Thanks...I just googled images for Haworthia maughnii variegata...Whew...think I might be in trouble! :shock: Lol! May have found a hobby in a hobby! Looks like it's probably a H. Xmaughnii...Thank You f...

Things are always "easy" when one is good at what one is doing - as obviously you are at growing cacti.

Amen to that!

Hey All! Trying to ID this succulent. It is a poor image I had to crop from a South African seed company ad. Would like to know so I can get some seed.
