I found these things in the drip tray of a planter containing my Oreocereus celsianus, Copiapoa cinerea, and Copiapoa humilis. They're tiny, largest was ~4mm long and <1mm wide. Any ideas what they are? I ended up pulling the plants, didn't notice anything moving in their roots but I rinsed most of ...

Thank you! I guess I'm a bit of a masochist for attempting these ones, haha! I do have some other seeds on the way, though some of those might be a bit tricky as well. At least for the saguaro's my partner's young son has agreed to look after them when I'm gone in (hopefully) 40-60 years. With any l...

Sowed on April 28, I started with 20 saguaro seeds in one container, and 8 or 9 Browningia hertlingiana in a...

Fresh spines are white and pink, with the older ones darkening to yellow and deep red. A ring of them point sideways out of the areoles, with single...
