Then there are these http://www.pestfree.co.uk/greenhouse-sulphur-candle.htm - anybody know if they release sulphur or sulphur dioxide?

The March TSG journal was on my mat when I got home today. Inside there's mention of their meeting, the text of which is below: As stated in the December issue this will be held on Sunday 11th May 2008 at the Great Bar Ex Service Men and Women's Club, Birmingham, which is very near Junction 7 of the...

Roseocactus, Rhodocactus...

I've been reading cactus books too long - plenty of those names don't look unusual to me!

I too have read of success with sulphur, watered on as a wettable powder. I've never looked for this, nor tried mixing my ordinary yellow sulphur with water to see if it can be suspended. I love the smell of it too (OK, I'm a bit strange) so should I ever get RSM it would be my first choice.

I have a few myself and can see the...
