Hello from the Southern Hemisphere

[poroporo]

Hi

I am in the southern hemisphere and have been growing cacti for seven years.
I grow mainly Trichocereus and Mexican miniatures.

This year I bought some seed based on sources recommended on this site.
I am sowing out of season but have some CFLs and a heatmat and plan on doing some grafting to Pereskiopsis.
When things are happening I will share some photos.

Sowing

ADBLPS
Strombocactus, Turbinicarpus etc

Piltz
Ariocarpus, Obregonia etc

Welcome to the forum! What country/continent are you in?
As for the seeds, it looks like you are growing a very interesting collection. Please keep us updated. I like to sow out of season under CFL lamps so that they have a long 1st growing season.

Hi

I am in Aotearoa / New Zealand.
Will post updates, the Pterocactus seeds and seedlings are crazy, haven't seen anything like this in the cactus family.
