Re: My sowing diary.

Today I re potted the Dioscoreas... they had no more space! The biggest is larger than a 2 euro coins. I hope they will keep growing as good after the repotting! photo_2018-01-13_19-55-21.jpg photo_2018-01-13_19-55-35.jpg Good progress! I am particularly jealous of the Euphorbia obesa and Lophophora...

Yes the body colour is really dark and also the short spines are really strange!

Re: This falls under etc.-Root hormone

I usually spread cinnamon powder on the cut to help callousing and prevent fungal diseases.

I would say the Frailea species(besides Frailea castanea).
My favourite is Frailea cataphracta.

Re: Looking for specfic seeds

It's impossible to find pereskiopsis seeds...they rarely flower and the fruits usually have few sterile seeds.
