Re: Hana's grafting in 2016/2017

G'morning snarfie,

Yes it is.

Re: Propagation Ariocarpus fom seed

G'morning Francesca, I am also a hobby cactus collector, not a professional. I do not feed any fertilizers to seedlings. Seedlings rely on organic materials in the potting-mix and water. Light flux control should be key for the growing speed of seedlings. I use an additional shade cloth in my greenh...

Re: Hana's cacti

kuni I think 90F is a very nice temperature. It will reach 45 C' during Christmas time in here and so I need additional shade cloth to protect cacti. Hanazono 3 cacti with reddish flowers were in flower today. T. alonsoi https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4578/38276006181_177e43004a_m.jpg E. horizonthar...

Re: Hana's grafting in 2016/2017

Re: Propagation Ariocarpus fom seed

Updated photos for seedlings: These 2 pads were posted photos on Dec 04 2016. Ariocarpus seedlings are growing slowly but you can see how much they grow during last 1 year. Seedlings are in 5 cm square tubes. A. retusus v bicolor sown seed in 2012 https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4465/37350624314_a765...

Re: Hana's cacti

G'day Harald, The cactus you mentioned is Pelecyphora aselliformis. Although P. aselliformis is easy to germinate from seed but it is not easy to manage seedlings. Seedlings keep very thin bodies and it is hard to make a good shape. I graft seedlings and make thick bodies and degraft them after that...
