Hi there cactipeople I've posted my TBM revert in the mutant thread before but i feel this topic deserves its own...right!? I've never heard of anyone before that their TBM has started to form columns that are growing "normal" like this: Has this happened to another TBM outthere? I'd love to see pictures! How do you see it's chances to ever flower? Have a nice day! Cheerio Xoma

Hi there cacti people Since quite some years I'm brewing compost teas mainly consisting of nettels and Equisetum and feed it to all my plants including my cacti with great results. This year I'm trying something new known as Sprouted Seed Tea. Basicaly it's a tea made of blended sprouted seeds. It's consist of many readily available nutrientses for the microbes and is loaded with encymes to super charge the soil. Many infos here. I'm wondering what do you think about it? Has anyone got expirience with it or has even used it on cacti? Would be cool if someone else would try it and share the expiriences with us. ...Have a nice day,,.. Xoma

Hi olive and others... :-) Great efford you do there! Thank you again for spreading the love! Since any mold etc. can quickly kill little cacti seedlings I was just wondering if anyone of you does some sort of seed treatment on your cacti seeds? It's worse the work especially if you have harvested in the quantities you did and you want as many as possible to live! I found that some seed batches are really contaminated and others not so much. It would be nice if most breeders would do that and tell the people, (Good selling point!?)...even tho I started sterilizing my seeds again right before sowing. The less bad microbes the better...but I'm still experimenting what the best method is in my view. I think it would not hurt wash the seeds for about 20 min in a 1% solution of h2o2 where you could also add some alcohol or Kaliumpermanganat remove and dry them. I guess there or other options as well and I would love to hear your methodes/option/ideas. After drying it could also help to inoculated them with some beneficial microbes before storing. (Only a tiny amount is needed.) But the people who get the seeds do have to know this so they do not clean them again. Interesstingly some plants do carry their beneficial microbes in their seeds...but I guess cacti do not!? Just some ideas...have a nice day folks! Xoma

Sorry for the the miltiple posts...had some connection issues Is it possible to remove them somehow?

Hi there shamans I'd like to offer some Atropa Belladonna seeds to anyone who is interessted. It's a very powerfull herb and SHOULD NOT be abuse!!! But...It is very usefull medicinaly for exampel if you suffer from strong asthma attacks. Atropa belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant (rhizomatous hemicryptophyte) in the tomato family Solanaceae, native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Its distribution extends from Great Britain in the west to western Ukraine and the Iranian province of Gilan in the east. It is also naturalised and/or introduced in some parts of Canada and the United States. The foliage and berries are extremely toxic, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which cause a bizarre delirium and hallucinations, and are also used as pharmaceutical anticholinergics. It has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison. Before the Middle Ages, it was used as an anesthetic for surgery; the ancient Romans used it as a poison (the wife of Emperor Augustus and the wife of Claudius both were rumored to have used it for murder); and, predating this, it was used to make poison-tipped arrows. The genus name Atropa comes from Atropos, one of the three Fates in Greek mythology, and the name "bella donna" is derived from Italian and means "pretty woman" because the herb was used in eye-drops by women to dilate the pupils of the eyes to make them appear seductive. Atropa belladonna is a branching herbaceous perennial, often growing as asubshrub, from a fleshy rootstock. Plants grow to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall with ovate leaves 18 centimetres (7.1 in) long. The bell-shaped flowers are dull purple with green tinges and faintly scented. The fruits are berries, which are green, ripening to a shiny-black, and approximately 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) in diameter. The berries are sweet and are consumed by animals (see Toxicity) that disperse theseeds in their droppings, even though the seeds contain toxic alkaloids.[4] There is a pale-yellow flowering form called Atropa belladonna var. lutea with pale-yellow fruit. An interessting thing is the story of it's name... "belladonna" comes from the Italian language, meaning "beautiful lady originating either from its usage as cosmetic for the face or, more probably, from its usage to increase the pupil size in women. Source Wikipedia. Germination... is not that easy...needs some form of stratification and a steril soil to prevent damping of at the start. Please cantact me if you are interessted. Happy to trade if you have anything interessting to offer otherwise no problem just spread some love elsewhere. :-) Have a great day! CheeriO Xoma Video: Deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna, 1-to-1

I'd be very interessted in those seeds especialy the Delosperma and the Psychotria and would feel honored to be allowed to grow some of these seeds! Have a great day everyone! Xoma

That would probably be the best seed choice you can make if you got plenty...haha. For now I'm using a mix of chia- and linseeds. ;-) Will you give this a try?
