Hi everyone, I am looking for the following plants Myrtillocactus geometrizans monstrose (aka breast cactus) on own roots, grafts or cuttings. I only need 4 or 5 of these, I intend to multiply them myself. Pereskiopsis Spathula cuttings or on own roots. Would prefer rooted older plants. I am willing...

Some interesting information in those links. I doubt a DIY store has the material needed for an experiment like this. Im still digging around for more info. Ill post if i do start to try this out.

Just for a laugh, I wondered if its possible to use any method to force mutations into some of my plants. I know there is a source of radiation in a smoke detector. I wonder what would happen if i irradiated some seeds/seedlings. Anyone ever tried something like this before?

Im looking for lophs over 5cm in diameter. The bigger the better. Willing to trade or pay cash.

Haha thats really made me smile. Its like searching your whole house looking for sunglasses that are on your head!

I have about 200 of Lophophora Williamsii seeds that I would like to trade for Pereskiopsis spathulata seeds or cuttings.

I am in Holland, please email me if you are interested.

I found this in my travels through cyber space. May not be up to the standards of some of the readers, but it was very interesting to me.

The do sell stuff, but im not posting the link for that, I hope I havent broken any rules =)

ahem . . .

I checked again, it is indeed 2700 and 6700K

I have been looking at some 125W flourescant growlamps. I figured metal halide would be a bit excessive for seedlings. I was wondering what colour spectrum to use, as the bulbs come in two colour temperatures 2700K and 8700K, that is, red and blue. Which to buy?

Ok finally got round to it. Comments welcome =)



I noticed how thin the stock is. Im curious as to how this graft was achieved. Three small seedlings grafted at the same time?

I got my soil mix as follows 1 Part soil 3 Parts coarse sand 1 Part Perlite 1 Part Ceramic grit The only thing I think may be the cause. I dont know if you read my post about these Lophs when I got them, they were in peat and dry peat at that. I repotted them into this mix and added a bit of water. ...

Sorted the algae out once and for all. I used heavily diluted aquarium algae treatment. Started with a very weak solution and every 4-5 days re-applied with it a little stronger. The algae has disappeared and the guy in the store assured me the stuff breaks down very quickly into harmless byproducts.

Although I dont think a 50kg rottie mistaking me for a giant chew toy would be that funny! =) I think im slowly but surely l...

Ill try the sulphur. Most of them seem to be healing ok, there are 2 that I have binned. Its been quite a steep learning curve for me with cacti. I figured they would be easier to keep than normal plants. I have tried to neglect them, I just still can't believe how little water they need. Ill let th...
