Cacti seedlings  Solved

Post by AndrewB »

Hi folks,

Some photos of Cacti seedlings I have grown, from seed, over the last few years. I am looking forward to some flowers this summer!

A selection of Rebutia, my first ever plant was a Rebutia back when I was less than 10 years old, still think they are amazing

Hybrids! The most Echinopsisesque one I hope will flower this year. The Tricho at front right was a gift as a small seedling, it’s the only one in these photos I didn’t germinate myself

Interested in most genera of small to medium ‘globular’ cacti, large flowering Mammillaria, Epiphyllum, Trichocereus, Hildewintera, Cleistocactus etc, small Agaves, Lithops, Titanopsis, Faucaria etc, plus hybridising.

Well done!
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

They look really good-the echino hybrids look interesting, in the summer you must spend all your time watering

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
