Re: Eriosyce seedlings

They look great and not so small if you ask me.
Hopefully they will surprise you with flower next year? :D

Re: Feedback on cactus-hobby.eu

I have ordered twice from ADBLPS and was happy with delivery time. First time I think I received order after 1 week. But I live in Europe so don't know about delivery to the rest of the world. Also I was surprised with quick delivery from Mesa although they are based in US. But ordering from kaktusy...

Re: Dodo's first seedlings

Do you have any photos of the remaining plants? That may help others to diagnose the problem. Well I got rid of the most of them. As i said some of them dried during my absence on hot summer temps, I can understand that. Also some had rotten, I can also see when it happens. But not sure why many le...

Re: Dodo's first seedlings

Could be just a bad season for you, Dodo. Try to help survivors to grow on. Thank you George, I feel pretty discouraged. Just because they were all doing fine when I put them out of bag in May. Next time I try I'll definitely let them grow in bag until at least 1cm. I'm still watching them die on a...

Re: Dodo's first seedlings

The summer is ending and I’m here with bad news. My sowing adventure is entering a sad ending after all. We had very hot and humid August in the city and I’ve been away for 10 days during which seedlings have been on their own and all that resulted in big loss. After being left for 10 days half of t...

Re: Any hope for crushed cactus?

Send some pictures of the two soft ones. There are no visible signs so far, maybe it will show up for dew days. It's Rainbow cactus who is affected most, spines look fine but it is soft :( :( Stetsonia is another one, also not showing bruises yet but soft. Will update for few days. Hoping for a mir...

Any hope for crushed cactus?

I'm devastated as 6 of my cacti fell off from 2nd floor yesterday. :( They are not big and some of them don't seem to show any stress signs but two of them are soft to touch at some parts. Just want to check if any of you had such misfortune to have cactus fallen and bruised from inside. Is there an...

Re: Seedlings not growing

I can relate to this. My seedlings were looking great while in zip bags and under the lamps, then taken out of bags after 6 months and placed on a balcony in shade. They showed speedy growth for a couple of weeks outside of bags but then it looked like they stopped growing. I was finding out the way...

Re: Dodo's first seedlings

Thank you all. What puzzles me is the fact that I have and I have seen lot of very young seedlings with discoloration at the base and they turned up fine. I have seedlings that were reddish brown at the base and thought it's over but at later point they grew well. Now that I see seedlings having str...

Re: Dodo's first seedlings

I have a question...my seedlings are now 6-12 months old. There are placed on a balcony, in a shade. They are out of bag for 2 months aprox. They seemed to be thriving and looked very well but last few weeks some of them have changed color and starting to get brown, some from top and some from the b...
