Hello all, i have an Agave americana, which seems to not take up any water. This problem has only occurred after the winter, i checked its roots and they seem to be all there, gave them a little trim and re-potted it. Yet every time i water it, it refuses to take any up. It's getting quite shriveled...

A terrible way to die indeed, i've been impaled on a agave before but not that badly!!!

I always get them. Not that they eat my cacti apart from the occation Opuntia pad.

Had a big problem with them like 3 years back completely ravaged the new pads. By now i my GH is quite hot and very very dry they don't seem to come in.

Another option is to bring a clear plastic bag. The pulp from a cactus can be mashed up and placed in one part of the bag and distilled water will condense in another part, which can be drained off and consumed without any ill effects. This primitive still arrangement can produce enough water for s...

Well, i watch Bear Grylls video on youtube. Although i think he is a bit of a show off to the camera. Bear slays a Ferocactus cylidirucus ? in the link below so cover your eyes lol. I came across this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIKTRFHSJiA&feature=channel as you hear he indeed says that cac...

It says thats they don't know how many saguaros there are. Im sure one of us cactus nuts would of been to the desert and counted them perheps Peter B. may have a input on this, you know you can co8unt how many are in 1 sq mile when your on a field trip, though as we probably know counting thousands ...

2# i would say is a Parodia erubescens also known as Notocactus schlosseri.

Okay

Hey i was thinking this new feature to google maps for some of you folks to potentially show some of the other some cool places where you live or even some cacti places. This applies to you folk in CA and Australia as google has quite a libary of street veiw photos from CA i dunno if there is any in...

They are all very very intresting and amazing.

Thats red and black astro would sell for a high price im guessing.

Looks like some kinda of Alein Brain. The colour is eye opening for sure!

Hey all. I have seedling topic somewhere but oi have been lazy to update it i will do it one day!. Anyway this deserves a new topic i think. I had Epithelantha Fruit. All good 10 seeds. Sowed them in spring, 1 germinated after about 2 weeks. The rest havent done a thing. I sowed them in a seal Jar v...

Yes after having a look at Carnegia. I guess i must withdraw my guess on that. The spines just arnt long enough or grey/white enough to be that.
