ya they are not so bad. not great though, dont let the pics fool you, only about 1.5 feet.

i cut them right after photos to get some more growing. these are from the same seed photos that are on the guide.

"only"?

I'd be glad with 1.5 feet high plants after 2 years.

What where you experiences with those Koehres-seeds?
I'm planning to order some seeds there but I've heard some negative experiences concerning germination rates.

hit and miss. i really like those people, but some seeds are ok, while others are duds. these cereus were the only ones to sprout out of 2 packs er species...no other species sprouted at all

but some species are more normal with germ rates
