Re: Echinomastus johnsonii care

Hello everyone, I'm resurrecting this old thread because it's of particular interest to me. I'm really interested in growing cacti from my home state of California, and E. johnsonii is a favorite of mine to encounter in habitat. Does anyone have any idea where I could get seeds from this lovely spe...

Re: Exotic Cactus Collection—eBay vendor

I had the same issue with seeds not germinating. Not a big deal, but notified the seller and was blocked immediately. Moved on and have found better seed sellers with good germination rates. I also had the same experience! Zero germination and then they blocked me once I contacted them about it! Th...

Re: Hana's cacti

Hi Hanazono,
I love seeing your posts and photos over the years!

I was wondering if you keep any Epithelantha species?

Sincerely,

Re: Growing strategy ?

Most of my focus is southwestern US species and northern mexican species. I also like growing lots of plants from seeds. Cultivars don’t really do it for me and I prefer a plant with locality information over a variegated specimen. Also, I prefer seed-grown plants and not a fan of grafted plants (I ...

Re: Looking for Turbinicarpus

Thanks Tom! I placed an order with them back in december and they aren’t shipping orders out until sometime this month.

I’m hoping someone has some young or older plants they are looking to cut back

Re: Big Bend National Park, TX

G'morning Sonoran Jackalope, Where is this information from? Just curious. Personally, I have seen thousands of fissuratus in the Big Bend region and none were smooth. Actually, the Big Bend area is known to have some “highly-fissured” fissuratus. Thanks for your information. I just bought seeds fr...

Re: Big Bend National Park, TX

If you wanted it to look like one in habitat, you'd have to really torture it. The Sonoran Desert is a harsh place. “ The form Big Bend has smoother tubercle surface than that of standard fissuratus.” My post was in regards to this comment. Smoother tubercles perhaps in cultivation but I don’t thin...
