I nearly forgot this one, 5 plants in a 2 inch pot:



…and my cabbages:

First post for a long time. A couple of mammillarias, grown from seed of course:

The other half including a couple of Huernias and a Hoodia:

Stapelia grandiflora

There's the dilemma! Ideally I would like to put them in the greenhouse in the summer months but I will need to get the mealy bug population under control. If I leave them inside the house I will have to find a south facing window but I will be really popular if they flower! Well spotted. Tavaresia ...

I have been buying a few of these genera over the last few months and here are a few of them. Unfortunately I only have a north facing windowsill available which I am hoping will just about give enough light to get them through the winter. http://i.imgur.com/VCBwiAe.jpg I don't know of many people w...

More from last weekend.These were all sown Dec 2015 to Jan 2016 and are in 2 inch pots Echinocereus viridiflorus http://i.imgur.com/KDogDVz.jpg Coryphantha greenwoodii http://i.imgur.com/VUjQpaD.jpg Escobaria vivipara neomexicana http://i.imgur.com/25k6sqd.jpg Mammillaria fraileana http://i.imgur.co...

I don't expect much germination beyond 2-3 weeks and your temperature seems perfect to expect good results. I suspect the seed is bad. Seed is cheap. Move on, buy some more.

A few pictures from earlier today: Coryphantha retusa http://i.imgur.com/LQKtwZh.jpg Mixed Sulco's - I wondered why they were so different http://i.imgur.com/NYbMjd5.jpg Mammillaria eriacantha http://i.imgur.com/iR6h6Xt.jpg Echinocereus palmeri http://i.imgur.com/8Gjykgy.jpg Escobaria sandbergii htt...

I have decided that rather than bow to the extortionate demands of Photobucket that I pay $400 for the privilege of releasing my images which they agreed to host for free, I should change provider. I would not mind paying a small annual sum but PB have got to be joking. I hope they rot in hell. I ha...

If you cannot see the images any more the explanation lies in this link from Stampboards:

Who do you chaps use to host pictures? I can see a change being necessary when Photobucket goes bust.

Here's the pot of M. Guelzowiana I posted a short time ago. However nice they might look, they look far more vivid in real life. My camera cannot capture how intense the flower colour is: http://i.imgur.com/ztDq5LL.jpg M. Tezontle http://i.imgur.com/r81P5OH.jpg Another I pictured earlier in bud, E. ...

I assume you mean MAT.

In my experience not at all. I sow at about 20c and after germination they go under lights at about 25c

Hi Robb If you mean the clear plastic containers, I drilled about 6 holes around the outer sides of them and maybe 2 or 3 nearer the centre. Whilst the sides are opaque, I don't think it makes a great deal of difference and you have the benefit of being able to see the roots. Here's something in a d...

I had forgotten about these which are in one of my three humidity boxes. They are generally one which have struggled a bit or are more difficult. I watered them and gave them fresh air for the first time this year with a view to acclimatising them to the real world. http://i.imgur.com/Jtbd7U7.jpg He...
