Hey everyone it’s been a while since I’ve made a post here but I wanted to thank everyone for helping me figure out good mix’s for my cactus plants. Hey Steve I wanted to thank you especially & I need to ask you another question, I have a few cactuses flowering right now and I was wondering shou...

Steve you mentioned 90 ppm of N causes bloat, is that for all species including jungle cactus plants? I was thinking a fast grower like a dragon fruit could handle more fertilizer than say a mamillaria. Right now I’m feeding most of my jungle cactuses those granules I posted on here not long ago sup...

Im looking for seeds of either of these types of cactus cause the area were I live gets quite cold in the winter. I’m willing to pay for them or trade if needed / I have a lot of seed from mesa garden plus a few other sites - send me a DM and we’ll see if we can make a deal. If anyone knows of any w...

Very cool to see a ball type cactus climbing a tree! Thank you for posting that Mike. That’s Also very interesting regarding the organic information.

I think Jerry is right, most of the nutrients in pumice are bound and not available to the plant. I’ve read that in the wild some cacti have microbes that help them decompose rock but in cultivation this typically does not happen.

Surly your not tasting water with fertilizer in it? That can’t be good for you man.

Hey Steve I got this granular fertilizer in the other day & I wanted to see what u thought about its nutrition value, it says it’s made for cactus an succulents and the NPK looks similar to what me and you use. I still plan on using what you recommend but this was cheap and I wanted to have a ba...

My main concern was the mediums ph, I was thinking species native to that kind of soil required a ph around the same of the limestone. I got dolomite lime from DTE but I wasn’t sure about using it we’re it’s more of a powder consistency. Those granules might just do the trick though if all they need...

Oh Steve or anyone who can answer this - I was kinda curious and sorry for asking so many questions but for certain verities that like limestone in the mix, could I replace the DG with it or would I do better with a combo of all 3 / Pumice,DG & limestone.

Thank you for all ur help Steve & you as well Tom :D you guys have have definitely saved my cactus plants from dying on me with the knowledge you two shared. You were not kidding when u said I wouldn’t need a pound of Sodium molydbate :lol:, 0.18 is a very minuscule amount. I was wondering thoug...

I finally have everything in you recommended Steve and I also wanted to mention that since I incorporated the DG, my medium does go bone dry in about 5-7days but I’m wondering if it will be the same outside under the sun. Now my question is, what’s the formula with the fertilizer mix? I do have a Bl...

I would have everything in today Steve but Amazon messed up one of my orders and sent me the flora gro instead of the bloom. I did get everything else and I got in contact with them but unfortunately I’ll have to wait till Monday for the replacement to get here. I was wondering too. Would giving som...

I got the granite in Steve and it’s a very good amount for what I paid on Amazon. I believe it will do my whole collection plus some.

Just waiting of the GH flora fertilizer now, I found some sodium molybdate but I’m wondering if this is good enough and also what else I’ll needed.

Thank you Steve! I did not know the poultry grit was crushed granite, I definitely will order a bag or 2. As for fertilizer I think I do have the flora series’s GH nutrients but if not I will order them as well. And thank you as well Nino you have given me a few things to think about that will help!...

There currently indoors for the winter till next year, I do have a 4x4 grow tent with a true 500w led though and another small 2.5x2.5 grow tent with a 150w led. Plus a good shelf that get supplemental lighting from a 100w led and a little sunlight through my window. Also the mix I use is currently ...
