Thanks DiscoStu!

Hi Solomon Yeah I'm not sure if we have talked in the past either. Its been a while and will have to check my account out for any fragmented conversations lol. Yes I've messaged you. Peria is a great place to live if you want to grow etho plants. Everyone on this forum should move up here with all their plants. Now that would be cool

Lol! You mean the cool tricho that produces golden seeds..

She loves gardening too so I'm kinda in that Eden which is so cool

Haha!

Cheers dude adventures to be had in pursuit of plants.

Hey thanks bro. We may be able to do a seed swop

Thanks bro

Billardieria will be fine in a humid atmosphere, it certainly did well when I grew it out doors over in the UK. Solanum centrale is a plant that is tricky to start from seed. I did get two plants from a lot of trial and error experimenting with smoke treatment. The plants are really tough but they like their roots kept dry with intermittent watering. One of mine flowered and fruited indoors back in the UK. I hand pollinated the flowers with a small paint brush. Sadly I lost both plants to spider mites little b%st#rds !!!

What the hell!!! When that guy jumped out of the jeep into that huge cactus, it actually wobbled!! What people do for fame aye..

Are the pages stuck together tho???

How abt drop crocs?? They used to hang out in Aussie a few million years ago. Relic population perhaps?? Man eaters naturally ...

Oh Gawd!! Tempting sooo tempting. Must wait till I have my own garden again. Everything is in pots at the moment waiting to put their feet in their forever home

The weather is looking good so me and my good woman will take a xmas picnic into the bush or an isolated cove. Just her and me in nature. Perfect xmas present ever

Up untill quite recently my attempts at Calea germination have been frustratinglynull and void so I used this method... The seeds were first soaked overnight in a jam jar filled with warm water from the kettle, in an airing cupboard, then I filled a small margarine type tub half full with course grit, this grit was first rinsed under the tap, then sterilized with boiling water poured over it. The grit was wet but not under water. The seeds were then put on top of the grit and with a clear plastic lid kept sealed on it at all times to keep the humidity level high. This way, the seeds were kept damp but not under water. They stayed in the airing cupboard as it was getting cooler at night over here in Kiwi Land. It must have been getting on for at least 3 weeks before the first seed showed signs of life, my theory is that as long as it avoids attack from fungus then its got to still be alive. One thing that I did do different this time was to drip some drops of Yates CLONEX rooting hormone gel on each seed with a tooth pick. This could be what caused them to germinate although I'm not sure but I guessed it wouldn't do them any harm. As well as the hormones the gel has a natural antifungiside which can only be a good thing. Four seedlings germinated within a week from a total of about seven seeds that were nice and fresh. My initial excitement was somewhat tempered when two damped off and the third died of dehydration!!! Thankfully the fourth one lacked the suicidal tendancies of its sibblings and is now a healthly bushy plant thats really going for it. Also I recently bought some seeds from the forum shop so it will be interesting to see if I can get them to germinate...

Those stairs would have to go. They would give me a head ache lols.

This is a really nice gesture and a great group of open a accepting people I hope the right people get the tickets and have a great day

Its 17 c over the sea in Auckland. With lots of rain again....

That'll teach me for staying away from here for a couple of days

Ewe would have to be kidding me... No not really
