I have a large backlog of lithops seed that need to be sown, so I'm not ordering a lot of new seeds. I did get a few species from ADBLPS. Mammillaria luethyi and sanchez-mejoradae. May be a long shot to get them to germinate, but should be an interesting experiment. Drimiopsis dolomiticus. Not real...

I have hopefully ordered these from ADBLPS, ticking off a few wish list plants, now I am just waiting for the MSG and BCSS seed list to be released ACANTHOCALYCIUM Groupe A. thionanthum ASTROPHYTUM asterias MAMMILLARIA luethyi DRIMIA platyphylla DRIMIOPSIS dolomiticus ELIOKARMOS constrictus COPIAPOA...

Firstly, I am not sure what aestival means! They also don't like being wet so shall I use a grittier potti...

I would like to sow these seeds soon. I have 5 chunky seeds and have read this thread because I know they are hard to germinate! 9 years later, does anyone have any good tips? It is not possible for me to keep them in a 35c room whatsoever. Is there an acid that can be used to strip the coating or s...

I got home from uni today and to my delight, some massonias have germinated! (I'm pretty sure they're massonias, two very small green leaves
