    That sounds like your over complicating things a bit.

    I just take that lid off and give them a spray with diluted ferts in a spray bottle, then replace lid.

    I could be wrong though :-)

    Working for me so far.

    Right, I thought opening the containers was too much of a humidity shock?

    Thanks PH and others. I'll wait a little longer before pruning. Out of curiosity, how is pruning best done?

    Admittedly, it's been dry for a while when I took the photo. Lots of rain recently so will look for a colour change.

    I do have a red which is obviously more candy red.

    Evident in the suckers I pulled a couple months back.

    Thanks for that. Yes sold to me as a narrow. Took it at face value initially, now sceptica seeing it growl.

    I did pull four suckers from the base, none of which I have managed to kill yet.

    Many thanks for your prompt replies.

    My brother in his Fly in Fly out routine put them under cover 2 weeks ago before cyclone (no rain but not much sun either: Min 20, max 30 degs temp).

    Mix is just searles cactus mix with some added perlite (the tall Panachoi has survived a few Brisbane rain seasons (including floods) in this and thought it would be okay for the others, although now they are in Airlie Beach). The white/black stuff is just a slight layer of pebbles (layer on bottom of pot as well). My understanding is that they could survive wet, provided drainage and heat.

    For comparison when I first got them 3 months ago:

    Thanks for your replies. I have same 'SIROSA' low alkaloid strain I'm going to plant on my creek bank running through my back yard . I have some 'AUSTRALIA' seedlings in 50mm pots I'm not sure where to put yet. I'm thinking the other side of the yard for them (but not in a creek bed) although is dangerously close to where the council mows.
