You can find Syrian rue seeds from reputable sellers on eBay. Also get yourself some acacia confusa inner root bark.

Hey mate, if you get stuffed around then I'll take the lot off your hands and transfer the cash straight away.

Any idea of how to see the latest posts?

Rend. Can't get it out of my head since I listened to "Turn, turn, turn" last night.

Señor, Do you cut a cone shape in the scion to match shaft of the the stock or do you cut the scion flat?

Señor, That first pic of the graft looks like it's melted into the stock. That is so asthetically pleasing.

Cheers, Sally. Your input is greatly appreciated. The original post is about grafting to unrooted stock. That question is very intriguing because I didn't know it was possible. From my limited reading and no prior knowledge I'm led to believe that you should wait a week for every inch of the cutting to form a good callous before trying to root the stock. If you graft to an unrooted stock will that cause it to callous more quickly because the graft is sucks up the goodness and speeding up the callousing? This callousing part has me perplexed. Please note that I have no experience prior with cactus and find the whole subject very fascinating.

I've got that part, but I'm talking about cutting notches out where all of the spines are growing out. Totally despining the stock. I noticed that wert uses that technique and was wondering about the experience of other members. Is it beneficial to members who live in a low humidity area and will it cause problems to those up in more tropical regions? I'm also going interested in the questions you've asked.

Very interesting to an ethnojube. I'm digging the milk crate setup with the shade cloth. Looks like I'm going to pinch this technique off you. I need to degraft a nice sized grafted loph due to stock rot. I purchased some trich stock off eBay for a reasonable price a few months agp, but not with the intention to degraft pups off a plant that I paid good money for. I was intending to graft some pups I purchased off a member but they are way smaller than what's on the loph I'm about to degraft. I've seen that some members cut off the spines to push all of the goodness from the stock to the graft. Is this worth doing? As for the pups that I won't have enough stock for, should I just keep them on propagation sand until I can get my hands on new stock? Mysubtleascention, I hope you don't mind me adding these questions to your thread.

If money wasn't an issue then I'd go for this property. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-daintree-117495083

The most important factor would be the land. If you've got a natural fresh spring then you won't need a filtration system. A running stream that could generate electricity via a hydro generator. Also fertile land.

Deepak Chopra is the biggest pseudo bullshit artist next to David Wolfe. These blokes make a fortune on it. This is just plain loony!

It's prank time.

I'm totally relieved, thanks wert. I was fearing the worst because of the condition of the pup. Will now have to be patient but am looking forward to her bouncing back.

I'm hoping it's not too late to save this girl. I bought it in August and the stock slowly started browning at the bottom. It was sent bare rooted and the seller told me to pot it in 50% course sand and 50% sifted potting mix. I repotted it again in late September , this time with some fine stone. Now the pup has a black top and is extremely soggy. The bottom of the stock looks very sad and between the buttons it has developed what looks like rust. Here's a photo before I received it, August 11. This photo is Sptember 18. These are today. This is another plant in the same mixture that seems healthy. Sorry about the quality of the photos, they are taken on my iPad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know why my iPad decided to post the pics upside down.

Yes please. PM sent

I love the caterpillars face, he looks super cool.

Thanks for the advice Wert. So I cut the base and pup away. The centre looks ok but the inner ring looks woody. This is my first experience with any type of cactus so I don't know if this is normal or not. I'm hoping I just need to let it callous over and repot.

The electricity in the air during a thunderstorm, the first chord struck at a live concert, the play of light on an opal and Bill Hicks. No.23 please.

You should always wash your coir 3 times no matter the brand you buy.

I'm kicking back near Mackay in my own little Eden. I used to mess around with Fimo years ago and your creations bring back memories. I don't care on the size of the vial, it will be worn on special occasions in the right setting ;)

They're wicked, awesome work. I missed this original post, probably because I moved into my new house. I'd also love one of the glow in the dark vials and a mushroom incense burner. I can cash you up in advance so you can get some supplies and don't care how long it takes. I'm also a newbie but have some cool seeds and other bits and pieces that I've been given, traded or purchased. Will PM you tomorrow when I'm back home with a list of what I have to see if anything takes your fancy.

Is it time yet? Says the Queenslander, would love some if I'm not early.
