Austrocactus coxii
I thought I'd got Austrocactus propagation cracked when I sowed A. coxii - great germination, and good ongoing survival. Typically, none of the subsequent attempts have been so successful.

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.

Re: Austrocactus coxii
Well done. I find it surprising just how quickly Austrocacti can grow from seed.

Re: Austrocactus coxii
Thanks Ralph. Yes, they are fairly quick, but they often don't germinate, and are prone dying when young!ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 5:28 pm Well done. I find it surprising just how quickly Austrocacti can grow from seed.
After 6 months or so they seem fairly straightforward (touch wood).
