Re: Hoya...

Some Hoya are climbers, but not all. My Hoya serpens, linearis and curtisii (and a few more) have thin, weak stems that do not even attempt to climb anything. Here is my serpens:

Re: Ritter's colour descriptions Solved

Ritter described them in Kakteen in Südamerika, vol. 1 as 4 = golden yellow, 5 = orange red.

Could be present in the growing medium before sowing, if not sufficiently sterilised.

Re: Seeds under light's

Sure, that is what I always do when I sow, and I have seen many pictures of such setups on this forum. Works well for small seedlings, older plants is a different story.

Re: Greetings from Warsaw

I grew cacti on an unglazed balcony for a few years, some (Echinocereus, Escobaria, Gymnocalycium etc.) protected from rain and snow by a sheet of plastic, some (Opuntia) unprotected. I brought the less hardy types inside on really cold nights, otherwise that setup worked well, mostly.

You can propagate them by grafting them on another cactus, but they can not grow on their own roots.

Re: no blooming for 2 years

Judging from old photos of a plant I had I would say the stems were 3 to 5 cm in diameter.
