My current grow list, that keeps growing...

[PrickPrickBloom]

Here is my current grow list, mid winter I ran across a
Saguaro grow kit at a gift store I popped in and once they sprouted up, I got hooked. All but a couple are cactus. If you have any tips for hints from experience with any please share. All were sown via baggy method. I will get some pictures up as they progress in age, as of yet there isn’t much to look in seedlings. Here is s pic of my window sill packed.

I hope you were planning on getting a greenhouse in a year or two. You're gonna need it!

[DodoBrooke]

Good luck with your seedlings! There are so many of them...
Sorry to hear about P.Alpestris, I know how you feel but those things happen when around so many little pots. I haven't heard about that plant but it looks very interesting indeed.

I would really like to see Echinofossulocactus crispatus seedlings

Ya that is the plan, if I can manage to keep the majority of them alive. This is my first go at it with seeds and seedlings and as you can tell I dove right in head first.

Thanks, well here ya go, all 3 of them in their tiny glory, the first is the biggest of them all, all finally have spines.

[DodoBrooke]

Wow great macros.
They look very healthy. I was thinking maybe there will be some signs of those beautiful curves but at the end it seems all seedling at this stage look pretty much the same. Will keep following for the updates

[DodoBrooke]

Just wanted to check how are things going with your seedlings?
Very curious about Geohintina Mexicana, how is she doing so far?

[Vipassana]

I'm local to you and it appears we both grow way too many seeds. I'd like to see your setup some time. Maybe trade some seeds.

I'm also curious to hear your experiences with the Geohintina and CactusStore in general. I order from them a lot, but get dead lots of seeds somewhat frequently. I continue to use them because they're local and relatively cheap for a decent selection.

Here are some shots I just took there are 8 that sprouted it seems of 10 seeds and appear to be alive. Only about 3 of the 8 very small white spines coming in hopes up they’ll survive here. I know there slow growing, but wow. Progress seems really really slow here on these, sowed 5/19.

I just bought 1 batch so far from cactus store, they were really hit or miss, of 20 packets I had maybe 3-4 batches with no sprouts at all. The rest had pretty good germination rates. I sent you a PM as well.

Looking for a couple answers as far as baggy. I have a good 35+ baggies going on, all are coming up upon the 3 month mark. If I keep them in longer am I risking rot or are there species that are more touchy then others are far as moisture humidity? All are indoors and at about 70-75 daily. Just wondering if I can sneak an extra month or 2 out of them inside. Some of my others I had previously taken out right at 3 mo and they seem to be slow growing.

[Licespray]

Some can be kept bagged for years. Depends on species.
