Ours aren't very fancy, not many tags etc, but I love them :-) Our collection has grown over many years of swapping cuttings but occasionally we will grab something from a nursery if interesting and the annual succulent show up here(bris) is a great place to get unique flavours :-) I'm a little bit scared of going down the collector lane with haworthias etc as it is a never ending quest, i've got enough obsessions at the moment, but goddamn there are some beautiful plants out there!!

I think i can do these justice db, that would be awesome. There's a hellava lot of seed there though, I'd be happy with even just half a pack, if that's cool.

 

Cheers mate 

 

Mate you are gonna have to step up on this one- sow em all!! or give some to your mum :-)

I had these packed up and stamped last night sorry, it was more about how many stamps I had at hand, would love to do more, but now is not the right time.

I hope you all can have an amazing day! I got my kids at work with me at the moment, how good is that!! :-)

First 3 to repond in the thread get a trichocereus mix, left overs from recent sowings. Heaps of different seed bagsDon't know how many seed, a few hundred at least I reckon... Free poured.

Australia only I'm afraid.

 

Peace to all

 

 

P.s. it'd be sick if winners could pm'd me a postal Addy straight away so I can post these all out asap.

Nice link @Bedofspines ! id love to try the 7 - 15mm diatomite. the pummice looks like a good price, but estimate of 50$ courier to get a few bags up here in QLD :-(

@doublebenno - Sacred Succulents in the US have Chalaensis X TPM. I got some a while ago but so far none of mine have shown monstrose traits. I just grafted some a couple of weeks ago though so we'll see. Ordering from SS is a bit annoying, but well worth it if you want seeds with TPM in the mix. 

Thanks @zed240 -A good dude just recently got me copies of the catalogues- I do plan on an order soon :-) cheers!

this bugger,

nice!!

would love to get my hands on some chalaensis x tpm seed!! where did they come from?????

 

[Mineral/Medium resources]

I have been using catsan clumping litter for bentonite clay source- not the cheapest option but it is fine for the moment - no perfumes in this one- available at supermarkets etc...

cheers @karl_marx & @Halcyon Daze, terracotta pots sound great, i am a little turned off from the manual processing of them, but am keen to give it a shot, thanks for the input guys :-)

@MountainGoat I have tried that for ausperl, they have ex gate prices but not as cheap as you mention... like 20$ a bag- where u getting chillagoe perlite??

 

 

In this order I grabbed a few things but am really happy with the red roc zeolite 2.2+ much nicer than the zeoclor and cheaper to boot! I bought a bag of 1-3mm and a bag of 2.2+ both for 18$ each for 15kg bags it is sold as 'red roc booster crystals'

 

[Mineral/Medium resources]

Got some supplies in..  Bit pink from grow tube...

 

Pummice 4-7mm from ausperl via fernland.

edit: sorry pummice 1-7 mm

 

And red ROC  zeolite 2.2+mm via fernland
