Re: Lui's Seedling start

Here is an old salad container. Just put vermiculite in it. Toss in a few astro seeds whenever they flower/pollinate/ seed out. Looking to transplant a few of these soon. all planting from Spring 2018 to now.

Re: Hana's grafting in 2016/2017

Very cool experiment with the astro/ario connection.

I always enjoy your grafting photos. Inspiring me to start grafting on pereskiopsis more.
