Re: Some of my seedlings
I do the same, use weck jars that are sealed for at least one year with two small pots with the seedlings inside it. But I just open the jar after a year without any acclimatisation. After that one year I just treat them the same as any 0 year old seedlings onwards.

Re: ID request of my new 11 cacti
If you could at least propose some names for the ones you doubt, that would show initiative and would be easier for others to confirm whatever you thought a plant would be. The above thread provides a list of the most common plants one can find in garden centers. The first picture will very likely b...

Re: I am 45.If it is late to sow Ariocarpus seeds?
Just sow! You will otherwise regret it when you are 55 and think "oh men, I should have sown some when I was ten years younger". If you sow Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus, you could have a flowering plant in 5 to 10 years. I got one after 8 years. In 10 years you are still not an old person th...

Re: New Argentinian Pyrrhocactus?
It is indeed an interesting looking plant.
I was able to buy some seeds labeled as Neowerdermannia lichyana from Kaktusy Cacti Growers Club Hradec Králové (www.kaktusyhk.cz) with fieldnumber VS1388 this winter. Will sow it next month. I assume it is the same plant.

Re: Question on exposed roots and tipped over seedlings
I see, your climate should help you a bit here for a higher chance of succes, probably. They are harder for me (but I have a few species of Echinomastus growing and flowering well up here, but I don't have had much succes with the Sclerocactus).
The other species are easier.

Re: Question on exposed roots and tipped over seedlings
Don't worry, the seedlings will set themselves up. Although personally I would give the bottom one some help using a knife, dig a deep hole and lower the root into the hole and then close it up. I must say, growing Echinomastus and Sclerocactus on your first try of growing from seed is quite... a ch...
