Re: November 2024 - What is flowering for you this November?
I have several plants wanting to flower very late this year. I took pity on this budding-up seedling about a week ago, put it in the propagator with warmth and light, and gave it some water. Yesterday I noticed the outside of the well-developed bud seemed very yellow, I was surprised to find it ...

Re: Has anyone sowed Melocactus peruvianus from JN? Solved
I'm not quite sure what you are inquiring. Are you asking about Jan Novak's seedlist? https://kaktusy.webzdarma.cz/ Most of the large czech seed lists are just that. You need to order on the basis of the name / field number only, plus whatever brief text description there may be. There are generally ...

Re: EU Plant Passport Scheme
Were there any attempts made by the Society to clarify the rather contradictory topic of issuing plant passports as amateurs (seems not required) to sell plants online (seems to be absolutely mandatory for everyone) for "beer money" (i.e. not for profit, seems not required again)? And what about ...

Re: Stapeliad thread
Just out of interest, what’s it growing in, pot and medium? Lol. It's in a microwave meal container. No drainage holes. In roughly 20% perlite, 80% cat litter. Weak fertiliser with most watering. Containers without drainage holes are fine for a while, for vigorous easy species, in this mix, and so l ...

Re: Stapeliad thread
I bought an unrooted Huernia zebrina cutting a few months ago. It seems to have settled in happily, currently co-habiting with an Euphorbia coerulescens cutting.

Re: Updated seed lists
Unfortunately it looks as though the Czech society, Section of Succulent Growers, Sekce pěstitelů sukulentů (SPS) is on the point of folding. I was looking forward to their annual mid-November seed list, it was a great resource for some rarely offered succulent species. The notice is here: https:// ...
