Re: Plant Labels

I'll take at least 100, possibly more depending on price.

Andy,
I do use aluminium labels for my permanent labels but they're too big for seed sowing and too expensive to use for plants thay are swaps.

Hopefully if these are thick they can be reused?

Re: Pest control

Possibly odd q, I applied compo bi 58. Its A systemic, should you wait a while before watering so its absorbed & spread thru the plant to hopefully kill the bugs or does watering a few days later make no difference or even help spread it around the plant or we haven't a clue. I'd say the answer...

Re: Chamaelobivia 2024

That's quite a display you are getting indoors. Do you give a cold rest or stop watering over the winter to trigger flowering? They get no water from a couple of weeks before the Christmas holidays until a week or two after but are watered a little for the rest of the winter. The room gets down to ...

Re: Southfields today

Even better, wait a month when more hybrids will be in flower and combine it with a trip to Spalding Cactus Mart on 20th April. Stuart A very good idea but there were a small range in flower yesterday! (Neoporteria and Stenocactus) And the odd Rebutia and Cleistocatus with some more showing buds.

Southfields today

Popped into Southfields today for their retirement sale. Have to say I was fearing it would feel a bit run down but not at all. In the main set there was as much choice as ever (if not more as they are clearing out their stock). Also lots of their seed grown Echinopsis, Chamaelobivia and Rebutia rea...
