Astrophytum Japanese cultivar seed wanted.

[Master B]

Im after buying or trading some seeds of some fancy Astrophytum cultivars.

Im after things like crosses of Fukuryu, Kikko, Nudum and varigates etc.

I have tried a few European and ebay sellers only to get zero germ or when they pop they are not even close to what was ordered.

Alternatively can anybody point me in the direction of good reliable vendor's that might be suppling this sort of seed.

Everything has been a massive disappointment so far.

I'm think with these cultivars you only get a small percentage of true forms if your lucky. Best way (ive been told be some experienced growers) is to buy from the private collectors but they charge around 20 to 30 euro for five seeds.

Hey bud try star astrophytum, I'd go the mix packs over the single packs.

I'm pretty keen on some Japanese hybrids if anyone has some fresh seed available? theuserformallyknownasd00d what is the germination rate on the seeds from star astrophytum?I was drooling over their seed selection!

Your better off getting the mix pack from Star Astrophytum. Many reports complain that the seedlings are not what is pictured, but this is probably due to the fact that large numbers must be sown and selection made for cultivar characteristics.
