Re: Growing strategy ?
I started sowing cacti a year and a half ago. Since then I have sown many different seeds of rather smaller species and many of them have germinated wonderfully. I also bought some plants, then mostly two of a kind to produce seeds.

Re: Bees nesting in pots
We have a "insect hotel" occupied with wild bees just beside our entrance door. They never made any trouble or were interested in us or our food. They are just doing their own business.

Re: Bees nesting in pots
First, I would try to figure out what kind of bees you have. Where I live (Germany), most wild bees live alone or in smaller groups, are friendly and usually don't sting you.

Re: Escobaria minima etc.
They also look good. That's about the color most of my seedlings have, thanks for putting me at ease.

Re: Red Seedlings
greenknight, do you think they still count as pink?
Escobaria missouriensis has some green tops with first spines and Glandulicactus looks slightly greenisch at the top.

Re: Red Seedlings
Hi Keith and MikeInOz, on the next batch of seedlings I will definitely turn off the heating mat at night, then I will have about 27°C day /16-18°C night during germination. After using a little too high N fertilizer which caused some of my Astrophytum seedlings to burst, I now use an NPK 2.5+4+6 fe...

Re: Red Seedlings
Thank you Keith, I have now supported them with some fine grit and will give them more light. My Luxmeter indicated they had around 4000 Lux, I could give them up to 8000 Lux. Is that too much?. Yes, they are funky species, I would be so sad if I killed them. Do you think that the red tint is a sign...
