Do you have a heating pad for your seedlings?

Hi Mark, yes, I use a cheap-o heating pad underneath. It seems to be worth the small expenditure in encouraging the seedlings.

Haha Peter

. I'm 16 now and I've thought about that as well, I'm starting of with Carnegiea first, maybe I'll have the change to see flowers, probably not though!

Hi Michiel- if you don't smoke, drink only moderately, avoid too much red meat, exercise a bit every day, always wear your seat belt...you might see those saguaro flowers by about age 66-75.

I wish I had sown the following when I was 16:

Backbergia militaris
Haageocereus (variety)
Oreocereus (all of em)
Ariocarpus (all of em)
Aztekium ritteri (hintonii was unknown)

there's more. Of course.

Yup, Backebergia sure is on my wanted list

. I have a nice ritteri right now that flowers profusably. It's quite nice.

Very Nice Indeed! The first photograph looks like a miniature cactus garden in which people could just walk around and see the different displays, great picture. Maybe I’ll try someday, looks like fun.

That's exactly what I thought too!

Ok thanks. Maybe I will start some slow growers as well, I am barely 15.
