Strombo seedlings 9 months old

Post by Jangaudi »

..and I thought strombos grow slow ! Only 9 months old and the largest seedling is almost a centimeter across. Really happy ;)

Then I start to think this might not be Strombocactus...

I doubt that ;) Seeds from ADBLPS. They look right as well. I guess it was just a very succesful batch. And I grew them in a glass jar, baggy style, which seems to work better for me than plastic containers. Don't know why....

I have a theory. Plastic bags tend to lose moisture over time via diffusion. The thicker glass jar would lose water more slowly

Fishhook cacti are like cats, they only like to be petted in one direction
