Re: In your opinion, which are the 3 worst pests in succulen
Many thanks for the answer Phil! For a second I thought JI2 was some powerful pesticide that would be the solution :wink: As I mentioned above - my way is to use the yellow sticky tapes. They do catch quite a lot of them plus seeing all those flies sticking to the tapes rather than laying eggs in my...

Re: In your opinion, which are the 3 worst pests in succulen
3.Scariad fly, I use JI2 & cat litter & still find them around especially in seed trays, even found some lurking in pure cat litter :???: Tina, what is JI2? And how do you use cat litter against scariad fly? These nasty buggers are my biggest pest problem. I use yellow sticky tapes all the ...

Re: Pachypodium Baronii
Thanks for the pictures Tina! I'm amazed how close are the spines to each other. I guess it's getting quite a lot of light. My little skinny pachy is already taller than 4'' , and the spines are miles away from eachother. Do you use artificial light (is that what you meant with special lighting)?

Re: Lepers- habitat collected plants Solved
I don't think it's as straight forward as: Wild collected = bad seed grown = good I have just come back from a 3 week trip to SA where I travelled about quite a bit. More and more of the veld is being destroyed due to farming, urban expansion, mining activity etc. And this is not just restricted to...

Re: Pachypodium Baronii
Too bad your pach.bispinosum is not doing too well. Can it be too cold (too close to the window) or may be too warm and dry (too close to the heating)? One of my pachy-babies was standing with one side over the heating and the leaves on this particular side got black and dried out. Once removed to a...
