Re: Baobab seed pre treatment
Depends probably what kind of baobab we are talking. Multiple species can be called baobab, although maybe just one might be the 'real' babobab. But when I sowed Ceiba insignis (so no Adansonia) in 2010, I got probably about a 100% germination. Just sowed them as I did with about anything else, so n...

Re: Winter growers and their requirements
I treat my Conophytums as Autumn and spring growers, keeping them dry in december, January and early february. My Tylecodens are treated similar except if we get a few days of bright weather, they then get a splash of water. The Conophytums might not mind this. But if you grow African bulbs that ar...

Re: Pleiospilos bolusii
Thanks Aiko. I've given a very, very light watering but will now keep dry from now on. You can still splash every now and then when the soil is dry and the weather nice (enough). Maybe even well through December, if they are in a greenhouse and there is hardly any frost and still some sunshine on a...

Re: Pleiospilos bolusii
It’s my understanding they’ll take more water in spring and autumn, they’re largely dormant over summer and they’ll absorb old leaves and hopefully flower over winter? They flower in autumn mostly. They are more spring and autumn growers. I keep on watering them occasionally in summer anyway. Keep ...

Re: gymnocalycium spegazzinii var. unguispinum Q
I don't think I have ever seen this one big. So about 5-7 centimeters seems to be mature for as far as I can tell.

Re: Autumn Cactus and Succulent Show at RHS Harlow Carr 23/9/2023 - the photographs
As somebody with no interruptions to make I enjoy all the interruptions about these photos, makes it very interesting, really informative about judging etc, keep them coming from my perspective If it is on key, no problem. But I can relate with el48tel on some chatter. In the "Updated seed lis...
