Re: Preservatives to prevent mold growth?

I cover the top layer of soil with small stones (depending on the size of the seeds) which is a technique I read on this forum somewhere. I drop the seeds in between them so they touch the wet soil. Once germination is finished, I open the lid of the container once a while, shaking off the condensat...

Re: Adromischus leaf cuttings

Thanks,
I will just leave the first cutting for a while longer, you never know, as it was cut close to the base, but not right at. Good thing is I got enough leaves left on the mother plant for another go ;)

Adromischus leaf cuttings

Hi all, I remember reading that leaf cutting propagation of adromischus is rather easy, so I gave it a go. However, I failed to grasp at first, that I was supposed to just tear off the leaf.

I think it's around 3 weeks now, so I guess I must be patient. Just still no clue if the temperature is right. I have them around 22 C right now, which would be the winter grower concept.

bulbine wiesei seed germination

Hi all, Does anyone have some tips on Bulbine Wiesei seed germination ? I understand some bulbine species are winter growers, others summer growers, so do Wiesei seeds need cool (18-20 C) or warm....or hot temperatures ? . Also I read somewhere on this forum that Bruynsii needs a long time to germin...

pseudolithos seedling turning white

Hi all, I've got 3 healthy pseudolithos migiurtinus seedling growing, and one of those just has the lower part of the skin turning white, and shrinking a bit, squeezing the head upwards, pretty weird. And this all happened within a couple of weeks. Is this normal, seen before ? Should I worry ? Than...
