I have way too many agave

I had to clear quite a few this year to make space for re-potting

Thank you

I like that cross so much I did it again last year, but they are still quite small.
What I have noticed is a percentage look like the mother plant in this case Romeo, and a percentage look like the father, derenbergii, the ones that look like derenbergii when small end up looking like this as they mature a bit.

Echie mad doesn't have the right sound to it, I'm sure he will get over this phase & come back to the 'agave side'

Has anyone received seeds ordered from the latest Cactus-Hobby Brno (Jaromir Dohnalik) list? I placed an order in early December and received a confirmation, but nothing since.

Slightly "off-piste" .... if one receives seeds now (or say within the next couple of weeks) ..... would one have sufficient time remaining this year to get them to sufficient size?

I have a heated propagator with lights (a Vitopod), and further unheated benching equipped with the same type of lights in a spare room in the house for any overflows. Normally I would have sown all my cacti and summer-growing succulents by now. However, I grow the seedlings on through their first winter under the lights, relying on the central heating for heat, and take them out to the greenhouse the following spring. So, I will probably sow any seeds I get from Dohnalik, certainly if they arrive in the next month or so.

Yes, no problem, I don't normally sow any cactus seed until May.
