Re: strange "fluid"...

:useless:

If it is extrafloral nectar it should be a clear sticky substance, usually on an areole. If you have ants in the greenhouse and it is nectar they will be all over it soon.

Seriously, whenever I have a grafted plant, the stock seems to rot off. :roll:
I have an English friend who calls everything he does not like European.
BTW I don't like grafted cacti either.

Re: Nicotine as insecticide

You can put one of these machines in your greenhouse. Feed it some cigs every time you have a pest that you need to take care of.

Re: Nicotine as insecticide

My father used to tell about smoldering tobacco leaves in greenhouses as a pesticide.
