Nice start!Not pictured are an Epiphyllum hybrid(whatever that is), Rhipsalis rhombea, a frost damaged Epiphyllum chrysocardium, some more cuttings of S truncata and S buckleyi, and then an Easter cactus that supposed to get here next week as long as nothing goes wrong(ordered it from one state above me). I couldn’t find one of those anywhere around me for some reason. If you know where to find those in northern Illinois I’d like to know

Only reason I’m doing this is because where I’m getting it from, they don’t ship unless the weather is good enough and they’re only one state above me. Also the express shipping. Otherwise I wouldn’t do thisAeonium2003 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 1:04 am I'm holding off from buying plants right now. The nurseries include a heating pack, but somehow it wasn't activated.
Those packs require moisture to work properly. Inside is a bunch of iron powder, salt, and activated carbon. Add water from humidity and the iron rusts and releases heat. It helps to wrap a moist paper towel around them if it is dry when trying to use them. We add them to our coolers when winter camping to keep our eggs, bacon, etc from freezing overnight. When being used to ship cacti, they could put the wrapped heat pack in a sealed plastic bag to keep the moisture off of the plants.Aeonium2003 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 1:04 am I'm holding off from buying plants right now.
