All the seedlings are given away!

Congrats!! I’m super inspired by the turn around you’re seeing in those afflicted pots! I’ve had very bad/sporadic luck recovering from a fungal/mold infection. If you get a chance, I’d love to hear exactly what you did to get this turnaround. I wish I had some magic bullet, but I just put them out...

Thanks man! It was literally the first cactus I bought back in 2016. It was only 2" wide and it's come a long way since then!

Just an update... Drying things out and keeping the trays outside has worked wonders! Here's a before and after of two pots of Echinocereus polycephalus that were covered in the fungus/mold. Now I can barely see it on any of the pots! Echinocactus-polycephalus-mold-before.jpg Echinocactus-polycephal...

Oh geeze, gotcha. That totally wasn't clear to me. I thought they were sent when got to the "sent folder."

Well, the recipient is gonna get the same message a bunch of times over!

Hello! I am definitely interested in what extras you might have! Hey DesertDrifter, I was trying to reply to your PMs but my attempts at reply are just sitting in my "outbox" and I'm not sure if they actually are sending. Do you want some of all the species, or just select ones? How many ...

I'm trying to send some PMs, but they've just been sitting in the "outbox" for over a day and I'm not sure if they're sending... Anyone got any insight?

Awesome Mojave flora! You didn't happen to see either of the two native Mammillaria species, did you? No, I didn't. Which ones do you mean? Hey, sorry for the delay in reply. Mammillaria tetrancistra and dioica. JT is smack dab in tetrancistra's range, which extends north up through Death Valley al...

Not seeds, but 1 year old seedlings up for grabs. I sowed way more than I needed because I thought I'd have a higher attrition rate than I did, and ended up with way more than I could take care of. I have a bunch of the following species of anyone wants any. Echinocereus engelmanii Ferocactus cylind...

I still haven't done that first watering of the year for my collection! Typically nighttime lows are consistently in the 50s by the end of Match, but thanks to the periodic cold storms NorCal has been getting it's bouncing between a few warm days and then several cold ones where temps go back into t...

108F is too hot you'll need to add ventilation or move to a shadier location . If the seedlings turn Red and stop growing its too much light . Sulfur will probably work better than that other stuff . That's what I thought. I'll up the shade cloth percentage and keep an eye on things. What would you...

Nino and Keith, thanks to both of you for your thoughts and consolation. The fungus/mold is now in all three of my trays. Only a few pots are as dramatically covered as in my picture, but the majority have visible "webbing" to one degree or another. There's no consistent pattern in what po...

Flowers look great, as always! Glad you're back. Hope you're feeling better.

I managed to peek through one of the vent holes on the humidity dome, zoom way in with my phone, and take a pic. The white webbing is completely covering the surface of one of my pots where I sowed some Copiapoa, and two of the neighboring pots have some areas where the webbing is developing on the ...
