Lucifuge

I have some Cambodians.

I don't have any aloe polyphilla, but I have tons of aloe vera (barbadensis).

All good. It's longifolia.

Yes, they are all still available. Which are you after?

I have a few plants. But I am in Queensland. I could post to you.

Done

I buy most of my gardening supplies from Bunnings. I very rarely buy plants there, but occasionally I may find something. I have seen what looks like pachanoi there. But they label most of their cacti as 'designer cactus' or simply 'cactus' so I can't know for certain what they are.

I'd like to get one too. Herbalistics has some in stock, but they are quite expensive.

Okay. Where is it this time?

I'd like to go if people actually show up this time.

I did stand the bags upright. But what does polarise mean? I didn't sterilise the leaves. What is the best way to do that? I left the leaves as they were when I picked them. I didn't cut or wound them, but I'll try that next.

I recently tried my hand at propagating psychotrias from leaf cuttings. I tried it with 4 different plants – a nexus and 3 viridis (generic, shipibo, and brazil). What I did was I picked some leaves off the plants, put some cutting powder on them (Yates cutting powder which contains indole acetic acid and naphthalene acetic acid). I then wrapped them in some wet paper towels and put them in some snaplock bags. I kept the bags in my house in a position where they’d get plenty of sunlight. After a few weeks most of the nexus’ had sprouted roots and new shoots. However all of the viridis just went brown and mouldy. I’ve since planted the nexus in some seedling trays with some coir, which I then put in a clear plastic box for the humidity. So I’ll see how they go. But does anyone have any advice on getting results with the viridis?

It was great to meet everyone yesterday.
