Hi there.

I just want to here what you think about my plants that have grown i one season. The growingcase is about 20 x 16 cm wide, and the cereus nearly 4 cm high.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Hi Chrizzz, that looks fine to me. Did you had great loss to get this? And: what name belongs to the numbers on the tags? I recognize Astro's, but the others?? Harry

Well, I bought my seed from http://www.succseed.com and did use up half of the seeds in the bags. Some species where low in growing %, but in all I didn't loss so many. From left there is Echinocereus pulchellus ´aguerrei´ #317, Arrojadoa reflexa #4190, Astrophytum myriostigma #29, Echinopsis mamillosa v. hystrichoides WR 308 #437, Rebutia fiebrigii and Cereus repandus. First batch I ever tried I got problems with sciara flies, but now I nuke it in the microwave before using the soil

Thats why I grow cold hardy cacti, they grow outside so there not in my house. Of course my yard is slowly being overtaken by cacti

I love growing from seed. I try to only sow a handful of each but sometimes I sow too many. There are at least half a dozen species where I have over 30 seedlings this year!
