Please send in your order if you would still like some.
Any chance of the pdf on the website being updated to show those still available? (Or has it already? I’m lazy and haven’t looked)

Re: A peek under the covers.

I’ve detected a large amount of misunderstanding about frost protection on social media this winter. Fleece covering of plants will protect them from ‘ground frost’ but it will not insulate plants from long periods of ‘air frost’. The internet is full of better explanations of the difference than I ...

Re: Pterbocharged Pterocactus seed

Congrats!. I will be sowing mine in a couple of weeks. With regards pricking out. Last year I pricked out the early germinators from my sowings of australis and gonjanii and returned the pots to the propagator. In both cases another seedling popped up and I left this one in the seed pot undisturbed...

Pterbocharged Pterocactus seed

Less than ten days after sowing, I’ve just moved a pot of Pterocactus hickenii seedlings from the hot and humid propagater (25c) to the warm and drier one (13c). I sowed the three seeds (ADLBPS) on the 5th. The first germinated after four days and yesterday it looked like the final seed was just pus...

True to expectations, Lithops seed is the first to germinate, four days after sowing. In this case, Lithops bella.

Re: Updated seed lists

It took a bit longer this year for the Dutch society of Succulenta to publish its seed list, but you can now find it at www.succulenta.nl/zaadlijst/. The excel file to order will follow shortly. But at least you can already have a look. The excel file is there by now. So you can start ordering, if ...

Re: 2022 seed list

We received our seeds today. Thanks to everyone involved with the seed list. Mine have arrived too. An excellent turn around and a credit to the organisers. Most were planted last night, except the Opuntiodes, half of each pack of which were put into my giberellic acid (GA) soak test overnight (pic...

Lovely.
Will the cactus shed ever re-open? That was yours, wasn’t it?

Re: Copiapoa haul from Cactusland

The Copiapoas there are an excellent reason to make a trip. As you say, the prices are generally good too.
I’m just over an hour north and so can get down there every spring, when the Echinopsis families are flowering.
