Yeah Lachy, I agree . . .
I don't think it is going to be a speedy recuperation but probably they'll will improve with time. Thanks

Great, thanks! All of that makes a lot of sense. I will look into the the MagAmp and the tomato food.

That was fast, good input thanks

Gosh Spikey I'm getting . . . ( )
Thanks dude!

Howdy! I have read a lot of good things about Epsom salt for plants and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with it with cactus. I read that 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water is a good formula for potted plants. I got the following from one of the web sites: (This is straight from epsoms...

Hi Spikey! yeap unfortunately there was a huge loss of the chlorophyll and waxy coating. Thanks :thumbup: I will look into the nitrates and also to the available fertilizers to see if I could get one to help induce them to produce more of the wax and chlorophyll. Perhaps a good combination of nutrie...

Thanks iann, I will. Weird problem I'm having! I will take new pictures over the weekend.

Great, very useful infomation! I will remove them from direct sunlight to prevent skin burning until they get better but will keep them under indirect bright light. I will also spray them with distilled water (to avoid more of the tap water quemicals) a couple of times a day to see if this will give...

Thanks Harald, I guess this is going to be a very hard problem to solve. At least I will like the plants to survive. I only had this bleaching problem with several of the same type of cactus (that I havent been able to ID yet) and also with a Totem Pole (Lophocereus schottii). Perhaps I should try t...

Hi there, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/MHPhotos2004/1Bleached.jpg No, it is not an albino! Today I spent the day killing mealies with rubbing alcohol (70%) and a few of my cactus got their skin quite dry, lost their shine and got "lightly" bleached. :roll: The procedure that I us...

Howdy Harry! Sorry for my traditional weird sense of humor 8-[ . Well, what about an update in 6 months when they get to be one year old! I think it will be interesting to see if they will double their current size. I will be jumping in and out as time allows me to. Thanks Harry :thumbup: Hi peterb!...

UPDATE - 6 Months After - 05-27-2007 Howdy!!! :D Great idea to have a section just for seedlings! :thumbup: Ok, six months already and so far so good, I can’t complain about the seedlings, nice little fellows! here is the update: NEWS: - My last Browningia viridis did not make it. RIP :idea: -Now I...

Very nice flowers but mostly interesting! Do both plants produce bicolor flowers or you have two different Hatiora plants (yellow & orange)in the baskets?

Thanks guys you're all great! :thumbup: Your growing tips will be very useful! As I transplanted it to the plastic pot I just removed the whole plant with its own soil and actually moved it to the plastic pot in order not to disturb it much. During Spring I will do a soil change to be sure it has go...
