Platted a few lil shoots coming from this tree a few months ago, checked it yesterday. Pretty cool haha

Some Ephedra fragilis (or so they were labelled) popping up Regular potting mix on the heat mat. Hope I can keep these ones alive.

I have also been chasing courtii seed for quite a while

So my catha has been going downhill slowly. The new growth is yellowing and looking a little stunted and some of the leaves are slightly curled. Its been suggested that its iron deficiency, ive given it a couple of feeds or seasol and thrive but it hasnt responded really. Its getting enough sun too. Any help appreciated

Mmhmmm thanks for your input I havn't obsessed over anything thanks quite the opposite actually, I just tried to provide as much info as I could. What ever I've done was over a good period of time and only according to sypmtoms presented and on the advice of people who have a good knowledge on the matter. Its a few years old and it did have mites, you could see the oil that settled on the little threads they left all over the plant. But as I said, it's bouncing back now and hopefully things stay that way. Cheers Unfortunately im mot able to put it in the ground where I am at the moment either as im in a rental. The best I could do would be a larger pot which it probably needs and probably contributed to its health problems. And ive moved it into a different area away from some other neglected plants that are on the way out, strawberries, raspberries, cherry tomatoes etc.

Its on the mend now, turns out id did have mites and my eyes are just bad lol. Hit it with a lil pest oil and is greening back up and the new growth isnt as retarded. Hopefully things keep getting better.

Not a lot, some mucronata and something else. Its not mucronata though. I have one of them in my front yard

Hi all, theres a few of these growing around my area, im wondering if they are A. Floribunda Any help appreciated, thanks

Lol when i click Tas for location floribunda disappears off the possible matches

Thanks for the replies. Also there is no phyllode glands on these specimens, would you still say longifolia?

Thanking you

Saw this on one of my walks, its nothing useful but would still like to know what its called. Growing from a dead tree trunk on the banks of a freshwater creek. Any help appreciated, thanks

It very well could be mate, as I said im a fair noob to this hahaha Might just be varients of the sp, dont know lol

Hey mate, saw you havnt had a reply in a while, so heres my 2c (better than nothing right :P)... not sure about them being floribunda, The phyllodes are very spaced out along the branch. And on a couple of the phyllodes there, it looks like there may be little glands (indents near the base of the phyllode on one side) on them, that floribunda does not have. Although im probably not the best person to be getting accurate ID's from as i havnt been at it very long. This is a snippet of what has been identified as floribunda around my area (Tas) from another enthusiast, (could also be incorrect lol) Notice no phyllode glands, and much more compact spacing between phyllodes) *Colour could differ as this specimen has been in the freezer.

Broad (black tray) Narrow (blue tray) Got some more borads in other pots too. The narrows went in a bit after the broads.

I recon it does too, only comparing to photos though, not from experience

Any updates on your recognata @MeanGreen? (Or anyone else that bought seed) The one of mine that did sprout ended up getting cooked by hot weather... and my forgetting to unzip the greenhouse

Its in perlite and general potting soil, the drainage is pretty good and it doesnt get too much water anyways really. Ill test ph and go from there Cheers

Id just taken some cuts of the healthier tips in case things dont get better. I didnt see any signs of borers or pests. Thanks

Thanks a heap will check it out

They are labled on the back as Azureocereus hertlingiana. Looking at google images for both names they both look like the lumpier one moreso than the smoother one

Hi all. So theres a few 'Azure torch' cacti at work. They all look the same really except one thats a little bit more 'lumpy' The left one is the lumpy one and the other is growing like the rest of the Azure torches. Was thinking ill grab it just because it seems a lil unusual compared to the others, but im wondering if it will keep the same growth pattern or smooth out like the others with time. Im hoping the lumpyness will become even more pronounced. Cheers

If ya need a large take away container, the catering size containers from subway should do the trick!

Was told by another acacia enthusiast that the nectar does something to the ants, making the acacia nectar the only foodsource for them. Not sure if its actually true or what but interesting none the less.
