Re: Updated seed lists

Also Jan Novak from the Czech Republic has updated his list: https://kaktusy.webzdarma.cz/en/offer-order/
Great list if you are into hardy succulents, especially when you are after Sclerocactus.

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln

What could help is the smell of cats. I know you have cats walking around. But they probably don't come everywhere. What could help is to lay down cat hairs where you suspect mice are. The smell will chase them away.

Re: How to ship seedlings only an inch?

Put them in a match box (tape it so it does not slide open), and put this in a normal bubble wrapped or even non bubble wrapped envelope. That is how I did that. Match boxes are quite sturdy and not very heavy.

Re: Flona 2023

I just looked it up. Mine is called Sansevieria boncellensis. But I suspect there is not true species called S. boncellensis and it is some hybrid anyway?

Re: Flona 2023

I do like the two Sansevierias. I came home with a greener version of Sansevieria 'Boncel' (I don't know the name it came with from memory now) when I visited the ELK (a big succulent fair in Europe) a few weeks ago. I now have four Sansevierias, of which three in my greenhouse and one stays outside...
