    I have been bitten by Fire ants in Texas. Nasty things and an even nastier bite. I don't know if it   happens in every case but the bites on me formed a blister within about 12 hours. Looked much like I had very hot oil or fat flicked on my skin.

    Their plants look very much like Living rock plants to me for quite a few reasons. I find it interesting they go out of their way to say their plants are grown in some of the harshest conditions in Australia and not "lab" grown like some of their competitors. I think I might know who they are having a stab at. Yep good old supply and demand, there are not a lot of plants like that for sale in Aus so someone may give the wallet a beating for it. I would spend a lot on one of those but I think it still a bit steep. Thankfully there are people out there propagating in decent numbers. Prices will drop, just not soon, not the fastest growing things around the old ario.

    I had this happen on a tbmc and grafted the dichotomous pups, the first graft got knocked off and they needed to be separated due to damage. They were regrafted and one has shown unusual long form type growth but not cresting. I'll post some pics when I can as they are pretty interesting.

    $270 bucks for that potentially varigated scop!!! I wonder how sad you would feel if it was a nutrient issue and it goes a rich deep green again.I notice a lot of plants are being sold as private listings. Why is that?

    Having been through Uncle Chorns in Thailand which has thousands of flawless plants many of which are ridiculously big and old it seemed to me the key was cleanliness. Immaculately clean concrete floors, everything at waist height on metal benches. Watering was a bit of a mystery I didn't ask about that mostly due to language barriers back then but I do remember the lophs all in trays for bulk bottom watering. No other plants in sight as well, just cacti and succulents. The place was almost like a type of semi open lab.

    We live in the same dry, awesome climate for cacti cultivation Convergence. I just don't think the risk out ways the benefits. I think Zelly is right on the soil additives and water regime. I'm all for experiments though so if you do keep us posted. I don't think it needed for our climate re rot but if it truly increased growth time I am all ears. Still don't think I could bring myself to do it. I'm not sure if I would want to buy a plant that had been taproot cut either.

    Lol^ what the fuck. $192.50 for postage, this guy can't be for real. I don't know what just happened but I thought I was posting this after Zeds previous post. That guys has been trying to flog those shitty bits of PC for months!

    I was given about 30 seeds of Kimuras giant x bridgesii and none came up. Various other hybrids in the same container did cept for the juuls x bridgesii and the above. I guess they were old. They are both clones from the US?
