Ariocarpus Retusus 1 year old

Thanks it's nice when you can get the seedling up to a flowering adult plant. Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus seedlings more than a few years old.

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus

I think they are C. palmeri v. pectinitus ?

first time they both flowered. Sowed them from seed back around 2004.

Some previous years seedlings Mammillaria herrerea, Epithelantha micromeris and Turbinicarpus schwarzii .

Turbinicarpus ysabelae yes. Mammillaria herrerea mixed with albiflora yes 1 out of ~30 seeds.

Next year i'll start again.

T. pseudopectinatus?' ah yea that's the one. All germination has stopped now just watering the seedlings some still under screen most are not. a few seedlings rot from time to time but most are still growing slowly all outside under shadecloth. germination results , T. Alonsii no, epithelantha varie...

Look at that ! Crowding seedlings for better results doesn't hold too well to this evidence does it ? Do you find that seeds of this cactus are hard to germinate ? doesn't look like it from your picture I ask because I have really low germination rates with this species. and then to top it off they ...

I noticed my Tubinicarpus pectinatus germinated in cooler conditions that most of my other seeds. I usually germinate on a heat mat inside so it stays above 65F all the time. T. Pectinatus did not germinate on the heat mat inside like my other seeds but after putting the pot outside where it gets to...

Have you tried G.A. Walter http://www.gawalternurseryy.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; photoboard_man and andrea*seeds they are on ebay and do reduced shiping on multiple orders. Bobby Z" Hey i'm Keith again, work computer Remembers my password too bad I don't!! Som...

By the way, Keith -- I grow my cacti with mineral mix, so fungal rot is extremely unlikely.' I disagree with that epi's rot off easy. looks like orange rot to me. If you grab the top and wiggle it is it very loose ? Most cactus have a firm feel to them unless you just watered them. Root rot and they...

Thats is what just happened to one of my Astrophytum asterias and 2 of my mammillaria dehertiana all many year sold from seed. If it was easy it would be a boring hobby. Now you will have room for another one. You need to try again, minimum organic in the soil. Check the roots when you throw it out....

They tend to be expensive from eBay, mostly aimed at pot growers who'll pay anything to stop their plants getting infested, so see what you can find elsewhere." Thats probably not good as they then smoke it later. yes I'll start looking around to rotate pesticides always a good idea, thanks. Ri...

Chipping is not needed. Maybe that's the reason for 0% germination?" yea maybe :D I killed them. I've tried without chipping, same poor results maybe 1 out of 100 germinate. I will keep experiminting around. I mailed some of the same seeds to a Indonesia grower who claims he only got 40% so I g...

When I was looking for a sprayer on Ebay I noticed some types of miticide for sale. " Miticide same ingredient as Avid Abamectin 1 ounce makes 4 gallons of spray" Does it work ? I also see Forbid whatever that is ? what works now ? I have used this chemical Trade name kelthane which is , &...
