It's so nice to see all these pictures, and also to track the progress of your seedlings, Christer! I've started growing a few Mammillaria from seed recently, and I must say it is particularly rewarding to observe their transformation as they develop their more adult spination, as you show us here.

I am interested in the development of cactus seedlings. I think the "snow-flake-like" spines works as moister collectors :geek: Just my thought :roll: I like to document things :oops:

All the plants was transplanted into 6 cm pots a year ago.
They are now about one year and eight months old :)
The hooks have a nice golden shine on this one...
