Re: If you were to start over, what would you do differently?
Bought only ‘windowsill friendly’ plants. As I grow all my plants on windowsills, I wouldn’t have bought c/s that outgrow the after all limited space , in a relativly short time and wil probably never flower in my care.

Trichocereus hybrid?
Couldn’t resist this one..or rather these. The tallest of them are close to 15 cm. high. It was labeled Pilocereus but isn’t it more likely to be a Trichocereus hybrid of some sort?

Re: Mrs.Green windowsills-growing cacti against the odds (links on page 9)
With a few starts/cuttings for trades in a year or two! Absolutely! 😃 In fact I have already potted a few ‘cuttings’, that had fallen off the mother plant during transportation home. I am very happy with this find, I know it’s a very common cactus but as mentioned, I haven’t seen it for sale here f...

Re: Happy birthday
Congatulations and happy birthday Tom in Tucson! 🙂🌵 Thank you for this post! BTW, about a month ago, I believe you asked some questions concerning soil sources. I suggested either aquarium gravel, or chicken (bird) grit. Did you try either? My pleasure 🙂 Uhm..did I? I must admit I can’t remember th...

Re: Loph. williamsi- questions
I'd buy it now and let it go dormant. Your plants are a good size. You don't know if they will be available next year. Thank you Jerrytheplater 🙂 True, I don’t know if it will be available next year but its the small size and dormancy ( which will last about 6 months here) I am worried about. They ...

Loph. williamsi- questions
A vendor in Norway have L.williamsi for sale and I am tempted to buy one. But.. I have never had Loph’s before and the plants seems to be very small, only about 1,5 cm - 2 cm. in diameter. It’s late in the year, the growing season is over here. Would it be better to wait until next year, spring/summ...

Nostalgia
I found this one today, Chamaecereus silvestrii; a cactus I remember from my childhood and haven’t seen for sale for years.

Re: Astrophytum help needed
Thanks to everyone replying in this thread 🙂 I do find it interesting to read but I have to confess I like to do things as simple as possible. (as long as it works for me) I know myself and I know that having to pick up a calculator everytime I use ferts on my plants.. maybe the first two times ( at...

Re: Issue greenhouse shading
Just out of curiousity ( I have never grown cacti in a greenhouse) , under such conditions as described above, wouldn’t it be better to just have a roof of some sort with sunscreening? Then there would be no problems with stagnant air and overheating?
