Re: Peter in Whitchurch

Hi, I would be interested in a Copiapoa cinerea columna-alba of any size? That is one Copiapoa I have been trying to get for my collection.

Re: Stapeliad thread

I have one or two. I'll start with Brachystelma filifolium. I had it for a few years, growing fine then dead!

Echinopsis hybrid

Hi all, I have had this lovely hybrid for a number of years now but not sure of its name. I think it could be "elenor". Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, I'm always looking for Brachystelma seeds. I have B. filifera and will try to get seeds from that this year. It is now starting to bud.

Re: Brachystelma plocamoides

Thanks to both of you. I have it in a pumice and compost mix. It grew well last year and flowered but it just didn't produce any roots. It does soak in the water. I will leave it soak for a while. There isn't much corkiness to the base. I even scraped off some but that didn't make any difference.

Brachystelma plocamoides

Hi all, I bought the above as a nice looking caudex about a year and a half ago from Toobees. There were a few others for sale so others have them too. My problem is, it refuses to root.

Re: Cornish grit

Hi, I bought a number of bags of Cornish granite chippings from B & M stores last year. Worked well, but they don't supply it any more. I usually plant a Sedum cutting in a small pot of pure grit or chippings and see if it roots and grows. If ok, then I use it.
