First, congrats on the germinations
The seeds will sort themselves out, don't worry. They sense gravity (geotropism) and roots will grow downwards and shoots upwards.
Good luck with growing them.

Re: Seed pack labelling
If I may suggest, having an option to display all positions at once would serve the same purpose as a downloadable PDF I believe, it would also make ordering much faster on larger screens. Besides that, massive thanks (again) for making this happen! Do you mean a single long list? It's against good...

Re: Seed pack labelling
First of all, congratulations on the new seed ordering process, which was seamless and very fast, and has the distinct advantage that items out of stock cannot be ordered, avoiding the traditional disappointment. Can I enter a small plea though that something like the old physical style seed list i...

Re: Seed pack labelling
I also just noticed that all the information from the "Details" are not printed out on the packing slip, hope the full 2024 seed list will be archived as a PDF for those who did not note them down. Edit: I also received 5 unexpected packets, 2 of them with nothing but species names (e.g. ...

Re: Is anyone using an electric dehumidifier in their greenhouse at this time of year?
I've thought about it too. But it seems that dehumidifiers only take out a small proportion of the moisture present. Leaving windows and doors open here (N.E. Scotland) between September and March would result in rather more ventilation than was intended! Winter humidity is probably my biggest kille...

Re: Cat litter
In the current CactusWorld a mix of a 1:1:1:1 ratio of grit, moler clay (cat litter), perlite and organic matter is suggested, I would personally replace perlite with e.g. pumice or just a bit more of the grit and clay as it is everywhere just not in the pot after a few waterings. Well, as you know...

Re: Pest control
I'm not sure which formulation of Bug Clear Ultra is being used-there are different active ingredients. Bug Clear Ultra contains acetamiprid, Bug Clear Ultra 2 uses rapeseed oil and pyrethrum as the active ingredients. Brilliant idea, two completely different things with the same name. I'm no exper...

Re: Growing Cacti & Succulents in 100% Pumice
I am gradually repotting my collection of Mesembs into 100% 2-4mm Pumice as my initial trial has been successful. Do any growers using pure Pumice know if Mealy Bugs are less likely to be attracted to Pumice than when potted in JI2? I've seen far far less mealy bugs in my collection since everythin...

Re: Recomendations for a good sprayer
I've gone through quite a few of these small sprayers. After going to a pesticide course I saw some much better knapsack sprayers, more pricey, but much better in terms of constant spray pressure, easier to use, sits on your back, more volume and a variety of spray nozzles, extendable lance. I settl...
