Strontium Dawg

I live right near tons of obtusi, I'll try to collect some seed for you this week.

Hi all, pretty much my first real post here so go easy on me! I'm a cacti noob, but a pretty experienced horticulturalist in general, and I sowed a bunch of seed about 10 days ago - super pedro x psycho0, and so far, I have only seen 1 sprouter. I know it's hard to say given the variables involved, but what would you estimate would be the longest period you'd wait for seeds to germinate? I'd really hoped for better rate than 5%, the vendor I got them from seems to be pretty reputable. On the plus side, I have a few nice cuttings that are rooting, and cant wait to expand the collection! So far, I have an eileen bridgesii, a nice peruvianus, and a HB04 pedro. I also saw a few bridgesii tops poking over a fence the other day on my way to work, so I'm planning on knocking and asking for a few cuts, hope the owners are friendly! Cheers all.

woo, another 2 sprouts in the last 2 days, things are improving...

Alright then, sounds like all is not lost for this batch just yet.

PM sent about Yowie, hope this is Ok being my first post and all!
