Re: Pseudolithos migiurtinus from seedling journey

10 months later None of the seedling died, but I was fuzzing to say the least, extra growth light over the winter months, trying to give them maximum sunlight etc... Some seedling seemed to stop growing completely or just very very slow. If a seedling does not die but does not grow either in 6 mont...

Re: Info on the Net vs what works for my plants, The Naked Succulent truth

Re: Info on the Net vs what works for my plants, The Naked Succulent truth

Some sort of Ariocarpus I received this one with no roots at all, I presume it was grafted and cut. Anyway a few weeks in gravel like soil and with a little tug on the plant you could feel already strong roots. The plant is now aprx 6 months in the pot and feels strong, I have not looked at the roo...
