What cacti do you buy?

[LithopsRule]

This thread appears to have become an entire Forum unto itself , covering everything from detailed Pseudolithos germination conditions to the precise use of English plurals. Could we address the issue of how to achieve peace and love in the world too?

I understand what you mean, Tina, about the possibility of growing more commercially possibly spoiling some of the fun, but I guess I see it like cooking: it is fun to provide other people with fine dishes to enjoy, provided one can share in the experience (e.g. by keeping a couple of each plant one sells for personal delectation).

I have been very impressed recently to receive postcards from plants I sold, updating me on their progress. Maybe I should follow the Hong Kong model, and rent plants on 99 year lease rather than sell them, so that they remain "in the family" if only in theory? A novel model...

Thanks again for all the contributions!

May I suggest to put on a John Lennon record.

I seem to buy more cacti and succulent seeds then plants. I have more than 200 different plant species that I plan on sowing toward the end/first of the year.
