Re: Jörg Piltz RIP

Very nice memories from visits at Joerg, and Brigittes place.
So sad to see the "old" collectors disappear.
I used to have plants of G. pilziorum. I think I "need" to grow this again!

Re: Back up heating

I have a 2.5 kW petrol motor driven generator. The auto-start versions were too expensive so I have a manual start model. It is cabeled to a completely separate heater and fan in the greenhouse. It has a 10-12 hour running time on the tank. I have told the neighbours about my installation, and one o...

Re: T labels

Re: Uhlig sell nice plants- Astrophytum now settled in.

They have probably sold more than normal. The waiting time with several of my usual sources has been much longer than I had before. Something good....for them! :-)

Re: ELK 2019

There could be a rate just for attending the bourse and the lectures for those people who can't get or don't want to have accommodation at the venue. Friday afternoon has now become terribly busy and it would help to spread the attendees to the bourse more into Saturday, which a few years ago was t...

Re: ELK 2019

Sorry for not knowing... Who are "badge-wearing delegates"? Those staying in the Duinse Polders? Booking one year in advance, if at all possible? I was there for many years starting Friday afternoon, and I don't see the problem with too many visitors. What if too few customers on Friday af...

Re: New cactus/succulent seedlists?

"" Are you sure Bercht has released a new list? There's only the old list on his website.""

I recieved his new list in an e-mail. Maybe last years customers got an advantage.

Re: CactusWorld

Still waiting for mine in Sweden, but I hope it’s on its way. I was one of the people who had their copy sent to the old address last time. Is it worth buying seed to raise in Sweden, or do you think I’d be better off sticking to plants? I haven’t propagator or greenhouse now, and I’m unlikely to b...
