Re: Advise on new greenhouse and foundations
I sort of agree that it is nice to actually interact :eek: when one has a question to ask, but there are sometimes topics that keep :roll: getting revisted and it seems a lot of effort for all the kind people who responded to me to do so again and again ? I personally think a FEW BCSS Guides on real...

Re: Advise on new greenhouse and foundations

Re: Forced variegation
I know Nick has already made the point, but as an organic chemist who has worked with colchicine, can I just say as a health warning in larger letters: colchicine is very, very toxic so please do not experiment with it unless you know what you are doing!

MSG Lithops Give-away?
Dear Folks, How does one volunteer plants for the annual Mesemb Study Group (MSG) Give-away? Somehow I must have missed "The Call", but it is such a good idea that I would like to use it to distribute some surplus seedlings next time around! I have added my current excess Lithops on the Fo...

Re: HELP! Red Spider Mite (RSM)
Dear Folks,

I will heat the affected plants to a mild 1000degC in an electric arc and see if that is effective.
Yours, Euan
