  1. forgive my poor cactus knowledge I'm still learning.

     

    The question relates to the attached photo which is of Eileen. She was root bound and had a funky top when she was very nicely gifted to me. Since then I have been looking for happy places around the yard and she has since taken off with new growth. I want to know if I can cut that part off so that I have 2 or I should wait till she is much bigger. total height maybe 60cm the new growth i'd say about 20cm.

    I then started thinking about some of the pachanoi I have that have come from seed. They are maybe just over a year old and only 5 - 10cm tall. Can they be cut? when is too young etc.

  2. just my 2c but generally the agaricus varieties etc will be a lot fresher at the supermarket so your success rates will be higher. As far as the gourmet varieties they don't have as high a turnover rate and are in plastic with glad wrap on top so it's a bit of a hotbox in there for contamination. if you have a local mushroom place or farmers market you may get fresher stuff.

    I have a caapi indoors that is going well. the leaves are a long way apart though so I'm not sure of it will be too sparse for using as a blockout.

     

    Also this side of the house gets blinding full afternoon sun all year.

  4. Hey everyone!

     

        Can someone recommend a vigorous climber that I could use to block out a neighbour. I'm looking for something that also has some use be it medicinal or simply gastronomic?
