Guest TAXMAN Posted February 19, 2001 Has anybody in Perth got any nice sort of cacti etc for trade (swap, steal, sale, loan etc???) Interested in trying San Pedro, Peyote etc etc, but unsure of the best variety to choose.. cacti are a new thing to me, so maybe easy or quick growing would be best???

Guest reville Posted February 27, 2001 well my collection consists of lophophora, trichocereus species, pachycereus species and now myrtillocactus. I am keen to expand... i intend to start off some (cacti) seedlings soon and if anyone else in perth did the same by next year we could all do some interesting swaps.. also im keen to get going with some sceletium sp.. my e-mails listed up top ... i can be hard to catch but if you do i dont mind..

Guest ace datura Posted March 20, 2001 What's the best time of the year to get cacti started off from seed if you live in Perth? I've had luck getting a Yates cactus mix to germinate in early summer, however, some Echinopsis seeds exposed to exactly the same conditions failed to germinate. Would it be a good idea to wait until next summer to try again with some Echinopsis seeds I kept in reserve or will these seeds be too old by then and have absolutely no chance of germinating? Perhaps they would germinate now with the assistance of a heat mat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
