I just bought a load of various Lophophora plants, 40 to be precise. Im not sure what they all are. But, they are in a bad way. They are very large plants and I would love to add them to my collection. Most are quite seriously dehydrated, some are turning purple and are potted in peat. I was thinkin...

Seedlings are two weeks old today.



The little black craters on the ground are from seedlings I took for grafting =)

This is one of my first attempts at grafting. Note my others are using seedlings, this is the only one with an older plant. Is this normal? http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1746_DSC_0511_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1746_DSC_0512_1.jpg http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/...

Im assuming the stock is still alive, I dont know how long a cactus could live on top of a dead stock. I have done some research and it seems pereskiopsis grafts are very very rarely used for this kind of time period.

Ill post some pics and see what you guys think.

I would like to post a link to a nursery that sells all kinds of cacti and succulents. They have great service and are very cheap.

Is this allowed?

Ok, quick update. After a few days with the light raised all seedlings are green and growing like hellfire. I made no changes to the photo-period or temperature. The other house has caught up with the first one and germination rate seems to be about 80% in total. =) At what point should I start redu...

Gratz,

I just found out the joys of 'parenthood' too

They are cute arent they =)

Please send me a pm if you have some for sale.

I have a paypal account (if that helps )

First of all i apologise if im in the wrong section. Wasnt sure =) Here is one of my pride and joys. I bought this plant and it appears 3 Lophophora williamsii were grafted onto a pereskiopsis. 10 years later, here is the result. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1746_DSC_0492_1.jpg If it is r...

Ian, the problem I have is its very hard to get indirect...

I may be able to help with this one, ive had trouble with a much larger rat (my rottweiler). As well as the local rats. For my dog I bought an electric fence generator, second and from a farmer and ran thin wire in a zig zag pattern under my pots, covering the entire area. The little sod couldnt eve...

Im from the netherlands, would you mind posting the names of these nurseries? I would love to visit them.

Absolutely incredible photos (thoses still visible)

I never realised the importance of sterile soil. For this attempt I purchased seeding mix (I noticed on delivery it was already sterilised), which is lucky as we dont have a microwave =) As for the lighting. I see photoperiods of 12-18 hours are recommended. I shall remove the reflector and raise th...

wow!

i bet the people who hired professionals are green with envy.

fancy doing my garden? ;P
