Re: Email notifications?
No, I am talking about these options: cactiguide notifications.PNG Somehow I missed that tab - thanks. I can confirm email boxes were checked for: - Someone replies to a topic you have bookmarked - Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed - Someone creates a topic in a forum to which ...

Re: Email notifications?
You have to do it for every new topic you post or every time you reply to someone else's post. I looked around the settings and if you go User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit notification options and you'll get a list of notification types and you'll have the option whether or not you want...

Re: Email notifications?
When you post a new topic, scroll down before submitting and click the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box. I believe I did so at least once to no avail. Is it the same as "watched topic" in |User Control Panel|Overview|Manage subscription| - as topics I'm interested in appea...

Re: Capillary mat?
Cactus seedlings like 100% humidity in the early stages - fungus likes that, too. Humidity won't kill the cactus seedlings, fungus will. Prompted by a YouTube video I once tried small plastic food containers (100 ml or so) using nothing but vermiculite. Same problem. The only variable was climate.

Re: Capillary mat?
I have humidity issues mid summer. Germinating indoors there's little ventilation and they succumb if I don't move them out. I'll try a couple things this summer and see what works best. When you said 'string bag' was that a typo? I previously used ziplock bags just large enough to accommodate the p...

Re: Capillary mat?
Thanks for the link to your thread. Very informative. I didn't know which mat to buy and ordered a length from a horticultural supplier who claims 'commercial quality'. Will see how it goes. My intention was to just water the mat, but after seeing your simple setup I may try that. I can usually germ...

Are email notifications sent for replies to one's posts? If so, how to enable? Doesn't seem to be working for me.

Re: Capillary mat?
Perhaps I shouldn't be too worried about pooling in the bag after seeing this video of a commercial grower in Thailand. His methods appear to contradict convention wisdom about excess moisture. Granted his methods are different e.g. the pot is mostly coconut husks with very little growing medium. Ev...

Re: Hana's seedlings in 2022/2023
Thanks, Frank. Your setup sounds ideal. I should try germinating 'outdoors' now that summer is approaching - however I'll need to screen those holes to stop the slugs getting inSmall ventilation holes are on the box cover, 6 mm x 28 holes.

Re: How do you ship seed?
That's more effort than any seller I've dealt with would do :D Typically sellers put the ziplock seed pack between two thin pieces of bubble sheet (sometimes just one side), tape the ends and hope for the best. Gets through the post most times - especially when seeds are small. I'll keep your techni...

Re: Hana's seedlings in 2022/2023
Hi Frank. Very impressive results! Regarding the germination pots shown in the first post - what is the size (width, height)? How much of the pot is filled (it appears to be around two-thirds)? Is the black sheet on which the pots are placed the heating pad? Thanks.

Re: How do you ship seed?
What about 'coin holder capsules clear' ? Come in various diameters. Sold on Amazon, Ebay. They can be tricky to use - put seeds into wrong half and seeds on the rim will be crushed when closed (been there, done that).

Capillary mat?
Is this of any use in seed germination? I've had issues with the 'soak the substrate till it can't hold more' technique. In the baggy method, evaporation condenses into pools of water. Ideally one wants it back in the substrate. BTW how well do capillary mats work? Is a wick into the pot used? I loo...
