Wow, this was obviously made with a lot of care and love. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the update and good luck!

Great pictures, thank you!!

They will probably be fine. Only one way to find out...

commercial cactus mix.. What is wrong with them. It really depends on your growing conditions. Indio, CA gets less than 3.5 inches of rain each year. A commercial mix might be great there. Here in Houston where we get 50 inches per year and it's constantly humid, that ain't gonna work. Or least it ...

Good! I did not mean to remove parts that look bad, only parts that might be soft. If there are dead roots I would remove them though.

I am still a novice, but I'd go pretty extreme with this. Yes, I would remove the entire etiolated area and kill the meristem to try to get pups. I would dig it up and remove all roots that look bad. I would also cut/remove any other areas that are soft or rotting. I would treat the entire thing wit...

Really nothing to see here yet but I figured I'd at least post a germination pic. Seedlings are not even two weeks old so a few more are still coming up. The other pot of hybrids looks more or less just like the one in frame.

The caption appeared to explain that the grower wanted this group of plants to flower simultaneously so he was using the cups to intentionally slow the growth of the fastest-maturing flowers. I'd never seen this before so I thought I'd share ...
