Frailea

Post by Robb »

After some pretty patchy germination of the Frailea seeds I ordered, I am looking an spare seeds you may have for this genus- Particularly F. Pumila aquatica which is a species I have wanted to grow for a long time but was a total no-show. I don't have much in terms of swapping, but in a week or so I will have some Setiechinopsis mirabilis seed to offer. So, if you have any spare seeds PM me and I am sure we can sort something out.
Cheers!

I was lucky to get 1 Pilosocereus blue cacti to sprout outta about 15seeds, i guess some species are way harder then others, not that promising sounding for when i get my frailea seeds :( i hope they sprout i only got 10 !!

I like Fraileas too. My F.friedrichii gives seeds every now and then, I don't have any right now. And my F. angelessi ist developing something that is either a fruit or a pup, I will let you know if I get seeds.

I have the following I can send you:
Frailea cardenasii
Frailea grahliana
Frailea phaeodisca


I've only so far tried the F. phaeodisca, and they came up in droves (fresh this year from my own plant). Can't guarantee the others (though both from my own plants this year).

PM me if interested with address!

Thanks for that, Dave. It is a very comprehensive list. I will definitely consider ordering from them in the future!
