Re: January 2022 - GOTM - Mammillaria (Cochemia)

Yes - in the sense that the Society has one every month on https://bcss.org.uk/ it'll be in one of the 'featured' tiles. However, I haven't, and nobody else has, started threads in this section each month. There's nothing to stop anybody doing so if they've anything to say about a genus. I can't say...

I've killed two plants through not keeping it warm enough over winter, I thi...

1% is suitable for use as a mouthwash so 3% isn't going to do you much harm if you splash it on (though I wouldn't want to breathe a mist of it). I can't say whether it's any good at killing mealies.

My related tricho flowered a few days before yours and I noticed the dead flowers went black and are still quite fleshy. Here's a photo with a E. mamillosa alongside (which flowered at around the same time) - it q...

Re: Another duff name?

Yes, I'm familiar with that paper. I wasn't advocating the reduction of Borzicactus to synonymy under Cleistocactus. In fact, if you look at the links I posted, I was seeking to contrast the flowers of C. samaipatanus with those of Borzicactus and Loxanthocereus to support its exclusion from those g...
