I'm no legal expert, could this case set a precedent for other qld collectors? https://myaccount.news.com.au/sites/townsvillebulletin/subscribe.html?sourceCode=TBWEB_MRE170_a_FBK&mode=premium&dest=https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/crime-court/townsville-court-seeks-clarification-on-legalities-of-backyard-cactus-due-to-dangerous-drug-mescaline/news-story/3f68bb66dd64ae9fd9778e2865bf9866&memtype=anonymous

Recently acquired a few cuttings from a guy on facebook, he didn't get to the post office in time so refrigerated the cuts over the weekend. When I received the cuts on wednesday i did my best to root them but all 6 failed ($60) I contacted him and his solution was that I could but a rooted plant off him for the reduced cost of $80 which seemed steep but I am really keen to grow this plant so I agreed. Received the plant today and it had snapped in two places during transit. He basically chucked it in a bag and sent it unprotected. I'm feeling pretty down about it all but I realised that someone on here may be able to help find this rare plant, are there any collectors out there who would be willing to help a brother out with a new plant? Am happy to pay and cover shipping, or trade! Thanks!

Recently accuired a 2ft tall wollemi pine and have positioned it by a window in indirect light. Today I noticed some spots on the foliage similar in appearence to the spots my cacti suffer in humid conditions. Would It be unwise to treat this plant with a systemic fungicide? Any other action I should take? Possibly stress related due to its rehoming? Looking forward to your replies! Thanks, Josh Edit: struggling to upload a photo, will try again tomorrow

Exactly that, brown lump with black spot, foliage yet to drop. Light intensity is probably too low, was cautious of too much after the stress of relocation. Still getting error uploading image unfortunately

You may have already done it but a light dusting of sulfur on those cuts wouldn't hurt! Awesome garden man, jelous seeing your daily posts and also inspired to start my own garden thread if i can find a spare half hour sometime soon!

$1/cm is a fairly common price for CUTS of named clones, unnamed cuts frequently sell here for 50c/cm. Rooted plants may be worth a little more. Named clones are worth more mostly because people collect them not because the plants are necessarily better. Grafting is not "weird shit". Calling someone a "druggo" only reflects poorly on you especially when its your second post. I agree you won't fetch those prices on here but I've also seen your plants advertised elsewhere so I dare say you may need to come down abit regardless of where you try and sell them. Goodluck with sale.

I was really intrigued by this bit!

Thats strange I read it earlier but now it wants me to pay too, would have copy posted if I had realised. I did not realise these plants were prohibited in QLD! They don't seem to prosocute the council's for all the prickly pears I had to deal with when I was working up there last year!

Organising a group buy of olivetol for australia 10g = $60 Cost is less than a tenth of local supplier I am doing this to help local growers and am not turning a profit Pm if you want in I hope this appropriate for this forurm, happy to move it if not (Not my picture)

I was fascinated by this awhile ago after watching some videos of "soverign citizens" in the US on YouTube, my resserch led me to the conclusion that it was possible there (legally) but basically unachievable within the australian legal framework. There is a movement though and some aussies giving it a go, good luck!

Sounds like were getting hazed hahaha

https://gpnmag.com/article/truth-about-milk-and-tmv/

I've heard many are, not sure about 80% There are test strips avaliable for tmv (again fb trichocereus disease and virology) Diatamaceous earth kills bugs and is fully organic Pyretherum is another one to look at Sounds like the tomatoes could be the source if the infected plants have come from all over Skim milk is the best antiviral/sterelizer for tmv Soil and tools should be treated (again more info on fb) Tmv is ravaging the states atm but is alot less common here, please consider this before trading your plants!

Im intrested in the pump but don't know what its worth and would not want to offend you with a lowball

As far as I'm aware its safe, possibly due to the boiling process or maybe its that plant viruses can't affect humans? Defiantly do your research because I'm not informed on the subject

Herbalistics sell tubestock if your intrested

Theres some info on the group i mentioned about skim milk neutralizing the virus on exterior and in the soil, if you were to keep her you may run the risk of insects transmitting the disease, some however are keeping infected plants and rehabilitating them. Theres debate as to whether many cactus are carriers of the dormant virus and whether nutrient play a part in its activation.

The circles and rings are telltale viral, often due to nutrient defficencies but not always. Could look into tmv (tobacco mosaic virus/tombavirus) pm me for a facebook group with tons of info if your keen to learn more

Unfortunately he didn't have paypal so no, he's aksed me to plant the rooted stem and cutting and keep him posted but he doesn't seem like the type to refund, I will ask if neither survive but he assures me they will

I've heard there very hard to grow from seed and have tried with no success. I have also read about the little suckers from the base but have been unable to find one. I'm going to take @Ethnoob up on his offer and try again from seed, could you reccomend a tek? Thanks guys! Love this community and its generosity, excited to give some back when an opportunity presents!

Correct I knew it was unreasonable but I'm having a really hard time finding this plant, hence my post

This one looks similar https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254058324699 But this one.... idk https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323641686272

Department of home affairs response was "I can't see it being an issue but you should contact a customs broker" customs themselves have no way to be contacted. It sucks trying to abide by legislation that is so ambiguous you can never be sure of anything

I beleive so, seeking clarification!

Hey guys I'm currently in the process of organizing a group buy of olivetol (news and announcements subsection) and thought I may aswell ask seeing as this forum is here. Everyone involved intends to use this product to induce bulk pupping in trichocereus sp however it can be used in the synthesis of a herb which is frowned upon by the fascists. Does anyone know of any legislation that would prevent me from importing this product? And if so could you provide me with a link to it? I intend to consult legal counsel before taking ordering or taking any money. Just thought there may be an expert in here who can guide me in the right direction! Many thanks!
