Thanks, one seedcoat was broken when i got the seeds, and that seed looked healthy and not shriveled, i'll try to keep them as close to 30°c as possible, but won't be ideal as i don't have a heating pad.

I enjoyed reading this topic, and also seeing your plants and their development. I am going to start red flowering A. asterias from seed and als A. caput-medusae, do you have any tips for germinating the seeds?

Here's my two cents: i think it's possible to make all cuts and let them callous and root, but you have to take special measures to achieve it. I have been experimenting with this kind of stuff for a while now, and i have found ethanol, perlite and clingwrap very helpful to let small cuttings callou...

Your grafts look great
Seems like the forum has been updated, that's probably why you couldn't log in for a while

Thanks for the explanation, unfortunately i have just one ariocarpus so i think it won't set seed, but i can try.

I have a kotschoubeyanus flowering, are they self-fertile, and how/when do i pollinate it?

Ammak

They want a lot more light, both echeveria

If grown in bright conditions it will be that color, but it might be a lot greener if grown in shade. Indeed variegated

I like your ariocarpus graft, i think it's very cute with those small tubrecles

Will be interesting to see what happens. I've been experimenting with schlumbergera grafts lately: some grafted vertically, some grafted without vascular bundles lining up and also a schlumbergera microsphaerica grafted upside down. The upside down graft is almost a month old, but still firm.

Good growth for sure

Lol i don't even have that much space for my plants, and that's probably also the reason i don't have ten of everything
Very beautiful cacti

Yes, they will go green after the initial growth is slowing, unless you have grafted a variegated caespitosa

Always happens when a graft is growing fast
