It's incredible how quickly Dorstenia seem to grow from seed when you're used to cacti seedlings. Yours are coming along very nicely! Mine are about a month older than yours, and I have them out of the humidity now - just under grow lights and on the heat mat. I water them every second or third day...

Not been doing much with the plants as of late as its winter here, but the Dorstenia seedlings are coming along still. I noticed their first leaves died off shortly after their first true leaves came through. One has a cute little caudex forming on it already. I also decided to change the lid on the...

I'll be interested to follow your Dorstenia seedling(s). I've just had a few germinate myself, the Australian winter is clearly not the ideal climate for them to be starting off in, but they seem to be doing okay so far! Seems to be a bit warmer this year, these and many other plants seem to be gro...

The Dorstenia sp. seeds have started to germinate, noticed one has popped up today.

I had the pot in the garage for a couple of days but bought some orchids that I decided to use the heat mat for, so I've put them
all together on an eastern window with a grow light above now.

Anyone know what this Mammillaria is? Cheers!

I've had these on my ebay watch list for awhile, they look alright!

Winter starts here very soon but everything still seems to be wanting to flower, its seems a lot warmer than usual for autumn too. I also received some Dorstenia seeds from a member on the forum (Kak tus - thank you very much :D). I potted these up today and put them on a heat mat. I wasn't too sure...

I bought a few more plants the other day. I was only going to get 2 but ended up being talked into 4 by the mrs as my boys wanted 2 of their own...I didn't complain much anyway :lol:. I've been doing some grafting too, the first photo being of a Ferocactus that Aiko from the forum sent me seeds of.....

I can not give an accurate comment but one of plants of the hybrid is a capricorne. The body appearance shows the character of capricorne. Super kabuto is a true asterias with flecking mutation. A true asterias can not be a mother plant when making a hybrid and so: The hybrid on the photo should be...

1st one is a very good Onzuka. It is not a standard Onzuka, is called "Shimairi Onzuka" means striped Onzuka. Although the name tag on 6th one says "Astrophytum super kabuto", it is not a super kabuto. I think the cactus is an Astrophytum hybrid which dose not show any character...

Cheers Elie, I think that's my lot til next spring here now...Unless I see some Gymnos or Rebutias lol

Hope you get your Money back!

Well, I added a heap of plants to my collection recently! I'm trying to sort of decide whether I should focus on just collecting a couple of different types rather than random ones of everything I see, like and buy on a whim :lol:. I also wonder if that is a little bit of variegation on the baby Mel...

Hmm it seems to have progressed and gotten worse and moved to the other sides, It slightly spread on the Plumosa graft too, but only on the one side.

I've kept them in the shade since I noticed it. Wonder if it is sunburn...

I had a winter fungal infection on my dragon fruit plantings that looked the exact same color. However, fungal inefections usually spread radially and not in that manner. One other reason for the same color for me is when temperatures drop below normal averages in winter then they will turn yellow....
