Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
Mine were sown on 1st Jan on a South facing windowcill and are all up. Will remove the baggies tomorrow as I don't like to have mesembs in them for too long after they germinate, especially this time of year.

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

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: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
With a very limited experience I have I totally agree, (I think) I have killed many by waiting for them to "germinate " while their tiny cotyledons were already long upCactus Kid wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:04 pm Mine were sown on 1st Jan on a South facing windowcill and are all up.

Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
Would you mind saying when you sent off your seed orders this year? I missed out this time and I’d like to know if I was late sending it or if the post was delayed. I don’t mind that I didn’t get any but I’d like to know for next year.

Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
I was one of the fortunate ones who got their Cactus World the same day as the people started posting that it had arrived, sent my order the same day. I then came in as order number 281 so missed out on these and a lot and of the other ones I asked for, I can only blame the postal system. Mind you, I have never ever got the “special seeds” in all those years, and I thought I was finally in luck with all the delays of people receiving Cactus World.

Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
Like Mike I got my Cactus World early on, and was fortunate that I was not at work that day so posted my seed order back the same day. I was order 165 and got all my first choices for the first time ever.
Can't even say that our post is any more efficient - my CW arrived the same day as a 'next day delivery' item that had been posted 8 days earlier....

Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
Daytime temp on the windowsill was around 18 during the day down to 9 at night.
I luckily received my Cactus world along with the fist batch of people and posted my seed order the next morning but still didn't get all of my first choices. I think the process is carried out as fairly as it can be.

Re: Conophytum 'Foggy Dew'
The seed distribution issues were discussed extensively already, it would be great if we could keep this thread for the Terry's splendid Conophytum hybrid!
Speaking about which, I really, really hope I won't kill them all...
