Re: MrXeric's flowers and things

Sulcorebutia rauschii I bought a plant from kyle's plants last year its still alive and I've heard its not the easiest plant ? He grew it in a fine peat based soil so I kept it in that . I'm not sure why it died. It was outside for 3 snows and low 30's every night here in Tucson. I honestly think i...

Re: Nes and his balcony of lame plants

nes is alive A lot of my plants have shriveled away. My new apt in Tucson has a yard but it's entirely shaded by a big tree. When I moved to Tucson I was staying and my boss's guest house, and totaled my vehicle in that time. After a few weeks I just had to move out and get an apt. Got whatever plac...

Re: My GreenHouse Build.

I was scrolling through pictures and comparing growth over time. This creeping devil really grew in a year. 20220727_143900.jpg20210523_090610.jpg Interesting plant, I've only ever seen this plant grounded and rooted almost like a horizontal log cutting. Considering it's not natural for it to be gr...

Not a video about cacti, but it is a really nice video of South African succulents. Really encapsulates why people fall in love with fat plants.

Re: Nes and his balcony of lame plants

Hi Nes 🙂 The last pic, the Loph (?) to the right, have they grafted it upside down? Looks like the roots are on top..😮 It's a butt graft. I've seen people do it with seedlings and larger plants. If you leave a few areoles on it, it should pup out of the areoles. I've also seen pups come out of the ...

Re: Nes and his balcony of lame plants

Your’e welcome 😊 Good idea , getting another one. Have to comment one the spines on the G.cardenasium again..😍 I do enjoy flowers on cacti of course but the spines, those you can admire every day. The gymnocalycium is definitely another one that I want two of so I can start reproducing them. I have...

Not sure how old it is but yes it's a small seedling.

It's likely that I've said this. All these plants are growing in 90-100% pumice and rarely receive water.
They get direct unfiltered morning sun for about 7 hours, depending on the season

Re: Nes and his balcony of lame plants

Going to be my last post of plants here on the balcony for a while. Leaving to Michigan to do my geology field camp tomorrow morning. Took these pictures in a hurry, about 95% of my collection was captured. Some I simply didn't snap, even though I thought I had. Sinningia Macropoda potato showing ne...
