My first sowing results
Hi all, I got into sowing last year and the first three pots I planted were just a generic mixed selection of cacti from eBay. It was August last year, but early on I cooked them and they took months to recover and begin growing again so they aren't as big as typical >1 year seedlings. They were repotted from and into a mineral substrate 50:50 turface and perlite/grit with a splash of bark, and have been grown under T5HO at ambient room temperature year round. I have no ids for any of them, if anyone recognises anything let me know! Thanks!

Re: My first sowing results
Impressive results for year old seedlings! IMG_4473 is definitely a Ferocactus of some type.
Re: My first sowing results
Wow. They look pretty good to me, if not quite gigantic in some cases. The columnars I don't recognise. There may be a couple of Echinocactus grusonii - 4771 and maybe a couple of Notocactus - 4772 and I agree with Ferocacti for 4773. The rest have me stumped.

Re: My first sowing results
IMG_4474 I think are cereus forbsii. Some epic growth you have got there well done.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes

It's all right.

IMG_4469 - these can be some Pilosocereus plants...
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
