Re: Pterbocharged Pterocactus seed

Congrats!. I will be sowing mine in a couple of weeks. With regards pricking out. Last year I pricked out the early germinators from my sowings of australis and gonjanii and returned the pots to the propagator. In both cases another seedling popped up and I left this one in the seed pot undisturbed...

Pterbocharged Pterocactus seed

Less than ten days after sowing, I’ve just moved a pot of Pterocactus hickenii seedlings from the hot and humid propagater (25c) to the warm and drier one (13c).

Re: 2022 seed list

We received our seeds today. Thanks to everyone involved with the seed list. Mine have arrived too. An excellent turn around and a credit to the organisers. Most were planted last night, except the Opuntiodes, half of each pack of which were put into my giberellic acid (GA) soak test overnight (pic...

Re: Did Santa bring a cactus and succulents related gift?
