Thank you for all the responses and making time to create replies regarding this topic. I am so happy to have everyone around. Have a great monday to all

Lucky for these two they got what they ordered, well, somehow. Im happy for you. The first and will be my last from Ali because they didn't germinate.

Thank you for your response Aiko. Im on my way home from work and I will take a peek on them.

I've sown some opuntia seeds. I think they are because they look like pepper seeds. Bigger a bit, rounded flat and beige in color :lol: how long do they usually germinate? It has been like 15days already. Didnt sprouted compared to the other seeds of the same batch after 3 days. They are all seed mi...

Congratulations! Now you have seeds to sow, we share you how we sow our Cactus and Succulents seeds in the tropics. Please note that this process works best for us but may not apply to everyone. We are not claiming that this is the best out there but this may result high germination rate for you too...

Hi Frank. Good day. I will wait for the result of your testing. I also want to contribute if it make sense because I'm still not sure if it can also be benefitable to other cactus a non-Astros and non-Arios species. I have a lot of seeds germinated now maybe I can observe one per species and do some...

Hi, do you assist these seedlings when they lean on the ground? I tried mine days ago carefully picking them using a mini shovel to make them stand up. I was worried because they dont look right. But now they have grown bigger.

That's amazing and they're great! I am also into those type of genre.' I've just tried to listen to them. They remind me of the Oak Ridge Boys the Have Arrived album I still play on vinyl. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... BGWyiIqL0w

Hi, Im a follower of this topic and read it through many times. Your technique of cutting the tap roots off is a very wonderful process. I am amazed by the way you grow and take a very good care of your Astros and Arios. Splendid. I do think that cutting it off is very ideal to my country, Frank. If...

The settings are awesome like all of them. Seems as it was taken naturally and you selected the nice view from the wild. Im in awe to your collection and skills. This is on top level I must say. Keep it going!

Just WOW! Very powerful and he's got a great control of his voice. Im just wondering and I wish I can sing like him on a Karaoke. Im sure it get peoples head get bangin! LOL #goosebumps

Wow, that's amazing you got seeds from him also. That guy is so generous and kind we are now Facebook friends and I envy his cactus related picture posts.

You too, Dodobrooke. Have a great time always. Keep them healthy and growing!

Ten years ago the vinyl album that keeps on playing every morning by my brother is the Cat Steven's Greatest Hits. Because every morning after waking up I go to my small greenhouse and do nothing just staring at them. And still now, everytime I hear any Cat Steven's songs anywhere I always remember ...

Thank you for your concern, Dodobrooke. It has been almost 30days and I got 0% compared to the E. Grusonii seeds have 9%. I don't bother making a dispute about this to the Ali seller. The E. Grusonii low germination rate are might be the result of a lot of factors. Seed freshness, lighting, temperat...

Got it! Thank you Armen for sharing.
