Re: Capillary mat?
I experimented with capillary mats and abandoned this idea. For me, the string bag method works best for germination and the first months. After opening, I water before soaking once a week so that the surface is dry and only moisture appears about 1 - 2 cm below the surface. I have propagators with ...

Re: Lighting Intensity/Choices For Indoor Setup?
Give this app a try though, there is also a free version. With natural light, things are even simpler. The simplest luxometer, even a photographic one, is enough. I have panels without yellow light, and here is the problem with measurements

Re: cactus prices
Andrzej1972.. 40% ???? Kiedy sprzedaję na e-bayu, suma wynosi 15% między e-bay a paypal. Dlaczego tak wysoko w Wielkiej Brytanii? Mike M Yes, without an example my 40% looks pointless. I checked the sales history and here is an example. I sold the plant for £13.70, ebay took £2.05, postage £3.50. So...

Re: SICK T. Peruvianus - Purple areas and sunk in flesh. WHY ???
Certainly some feat. Don't wait and don't even try to treat the symptoms. Cut off the sick part and cover the wound with some protective agent.

Re: Lighting Intensity/Choices For Indoor Setup?
This meter is terribly expensive. Too expensive for me at least. On the other hand, I think it's an absolute waste of money. It seems to me that it is best to use the descriptions of how many watts per m2 you need and choose the height of the light source and the type of light. I use the PPFD Meter ...

Re: Andrew's sowing - Lophophora williamsii
Yes, 100 may seem like a lot, but you see only 16 sprouted. If I had more, I could actually sell or trade for the seeds I want.

Andrew's sowing - Coryphantha elephantidens
Coryphantha elephantidens The seeds are very large, and the seedlings are also powerful, growing very quickly in the first weeks. I sowed on 22.02. 2022, and the next day they sprouted. I can see that the plants are a bit elongated, so I understand that Coryphantha needs more light than Astrophytum....

6. Astrophytum asterias variegated
Here they took quite a long time to sprauting because I used a gravel on top of the substrate, there were also other problems with this gravel and since then I have not used it anymore.

Re: When to open ziplock bag on astrophytum seedlings
I kept the last portions of seedlings from March to November. I would keep them longer, but I needed space for new pots with sown seeds. It was astrophytum, escobaria, lophophora, ariocarpus epithelanta....
