The still desert is waiting for painters and hikers.

First I thought that cacti are totally forbidden in Australia because of that old story with Opuntia and rabbits...

1st can be M. matanzanus. 3rd is definitely Ferocactus pillosus.

Even the tweens can be different individuals.

I'd begin to collect Blossfeldia though... Or Frailea's maybe... This is just on a theory. The passion takes over common sense. I had a chance to start over from 0 when I moved to Canada and now again am out of growing space and keeping inappropriate species. Sometimes I have a thought to leave my ...

Nice pictures . Hard to say if that's the Mojave or Sonoran desert ? I think most is considered a part of Sonoran desert, even with elevation and moving to the East flora changes significantly. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53669881833_3cee1f5ac5_h.jpg Cylindropuntia ganderii. https://live.st...

If in the water before and after the germination is added some fertiliser seedlings can grow during at least 6 months or the whole first season in inorganic mix. These below are 2 - 3 months old in a mix of perlite, vermiculite and sand. A modification of "jar method" under daylights with ...

Temperature average around 72°F/ 22°C. This seems to me to be quite low. Not sure about the succulents, but cacti seedlings prefer at least 25 - 30°C or even 30 - 40 daily maximums for many species. Of course proper humidity is preferred in that case. Fungi are less aggressive at high temps so the ...

Nice plants all inside? Mostly on windowsills. Some go outside to the yard for summer 5 months and few cold-hardy reside in the garden or pots year-round.

Old tubercles always die but the care matters. That greenhouse is quite shaded, at about 50% or more. Also Leuchtenbergia in culture are in two different varieties that have different body colors and maybe tubercles' longevity. Fleshy roots store juices in a dry period so aboveground parts can dry o...

Hey, sorry for the delay in reply. Mammillaria tetrancistra and dioica. JT is smack dab in tetrancistra's range, which extends north up through Death Valley almost into the White Mountains. JT is a little north for dioica--which is more often seen a little to the south in Anza Borrega or on the coa...

Somebody knows about Neoporteria cachytaensis?
