Re: C and D's Succulents
I've told you before and I'll tell you again - I just can't get enough of looking at that T. singularis!

Re: California - Mojave National Preserve
Sigh, more and more invasive grass every time I visit or see photos. Just like we saw with the Dome Fire, the fire risk is getting higher and higher every year, which absolutely decimates these non-fire adapted species and landscapes.
On a more positive note, great photos!!!

Re: Echinomastus johnsonii care
I have a single E. johnsonii. Does anyone know if they are self-compatible? If so, I may be able to get you some seed later this year. I have not tried selfing it in the past, and it has not simply self-fertilized and created a nice fruit for me to harvest.

Re: Shade cloth % for seedling.
I use 70% for my seedling areas Plus I have a sheet plastic film roof over it, that adds a little shade percentage I have 40% and 50% over most of my plants 60% over the Haworthias and Conos, and I add an extra layer of screen to it in the summer In a warm corner, I have an area with 70%, and use t...

Re: The Cal-Mag of my dreams?
That's what I thought -- thanks, Kane! Of course, and I meant to add, it was a great question! Not at all obvious or how I may often think of that distance in other plants like the herbs that nursery owner grows until I stopped to think about the question. But, now I also wonder if high P will caus...

Re: The Cal-Mag of my dreams?
Yeah, the distance between areoles would be the reasonable internode distance measurement for cacti.Steve Johnson wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 5:56 am Stupid question...
"Internode distance" -- in cacti, is that the distance between individual tubercles?

Re: Succulent from Ohio State University Greenhouses
That makes it all the better that you have preserved it! Perhaps one day it’s cutting will make it back to OSU

Re: Succulent from Ohio State University Greenhouses
Looks to be Euphorbia, but not sure on the species based on just those leaves. Happen to have a picture of the mother?

Re: Trying to figure out if this is variegated or stressed
Looks like it may have gotten some sunburn. That does not look like variegated Arios, that I have seen. The consistent placement of the lighter color around the plant, with newer growth not showing that same pattern are the giveaways I notice. Regardless, given the doubt, I’d certainly avoid adverti...

Re: SDK1's Seedlings 2023
Absolutely! I try to create a mix of microbes in the soil (such as arbuscular mycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae, Bacillus and Trichoderms strains, and others), some will form mutualistic associations with the seedlings directly on their roots or in the area immediately around the roots I'm the area known...

Re: SDK1's Seedlings 2023
Rather than going full sterile, I simply sterilize for the initial germination (as well as spray Chinosol early on). But, I find that introducing beneficial microbes such as mycorrhizae, Bacillus, etc shortly after germination goes a lot further at preventing any pathogens from establishing. There a...
