Re: Insecticide
You don't say that you have actually tried the two applications 24 hours apart. I assume you have, as you are dismissing the possibility of it working? They do suggest weekly or fortnightly applications afterwards to catch the next generation for full eradication. I am dismissing it because I know ...

Re: Insecticide
If you have serious fungus and/or insect problems and are serious about eradicating them, go on a PA1 pesticide spraying course.

Re: Insecticide

Re: Dehumidifier pads
Dehumdifier pads will eventually become saturated, so you'll have to 'dehumidifiy' the dehumidifying pad. All a bit of a pain. You might be better off just using fans 24/7 to circulate the air.

Re: Root mealy bug
Not much use to the rest of us... Useful to me as I have a licence too. As an amateur grower, pests & disease are by far the #1 problem in growing cacti. Growing cacti & other plants means everything to me, it's my obsession so I've found the time and expense acquiring the licence is well w...

Navajoa peeblesiana ssp. fickeisenii SB468
Very pleased to see this Steve Brack plant flower for the first time today. I wasn't expecting it to flower - ever - given the low light levels we get compared to its habitat.
