I already have more cactus than I can manage. But I'll kick things off $50.

Hi Humboldt, Those loph grafts look great, and you have some chunky stock! I don't mean to offend, but your pere appears less than favourable (Losing leaves / few leaves), why didn't you wait for it to grow more leaves? or do you think leaves / no leaves the difference is negligible? Thank you

Hey mate, PM Sent, hopefully this tek works as this is the only seed I've failed to germinate! (Yet maybe i received some really old seed, was an unknown fb vendor)

Hey mine too, had 2/4 germinate, yet one died off early. Left with one that is growing strong. Although yours looks much bigger than mine, you must be doing something right

Great collection! - I unfortunately don't have a spare 10k haha, but some real nice cacti

I've been using glad wrap and orchid clips for lophs on pere. I've tried parafilm ario's, yet they always seem to flip because of the areoles :/

Hi All, After pere, preferably 10cm in size plus (After 10+ if you have some lying around). Wanting to give micro grafting a go. Happy to trade other cactus, prints or plates - cash is also fine Thank you,

Thanks anyway mate, another user has sorted me out

Detailed tek, thank you - I have a few hundred ario seeds to plant, looikng forward to giving this a try.

In the west of Melb prickly pears are everywhere, think it's great they're doing something about it (Even if this is regarding NSW), spread like wildfire.

This^ Alternatively, a bit mof mycelliated bark and a heshian mat, and you're in business!

Sorry to hear that mate. Supposedly the second shot has less side effects for AstraZeneca (Whereas the opposite is true for Pfizer)

Hi Teonanacatl, Sorry to bring up an old thread. Do you know what the cause of this 'limbo' is?, is there a way to avoid it? I have an ario grafted on pere that isn't plump, yet not shrivelled either; it's been like this for 2 weeks! Thank you,

Hi All, I purchased some Vectobac 12 as which is a form of baccilius thurgensis - israelensis, which is meant to remove gnats. I've followed application rates and even increased beyond the recommend application, yet still gnats! Could it be that the soil is too moist? (Always keep the pere's fairly wet) Could it be the substrate? I thought vectobac would be my cure for gnats, not yet unfortunately Thoughts and advice appreciated! Thanks,

Yeah too organic matter / cheap soil mix. They seem to like the kleensorb diatomite which is bizzare lol I've tried de and stick traps so far, guess I'll move onto vegemite (I'm saddened to say, I don't have any in the pantry. Thanks All!

Interesting mate, I didn't know they were made of mycelium. I just thought people used them to grow canna. Do you normally use a C02 product to help with fruiting?

Hi All, Anyone have TBMC they are willing to sell or trade? (I have lophs and mushroom cultures). Thanks,

Looking for Ariocarpus seeds, preferably seed but stock is ok too. Cash or trade (sally, or various seeds) Thanks,

Hi mate, The arios I got from you both flowered a couple months back. I also hand pollinated, yet they weren't kind enough to give me seed. Alas! But they seem to be going well
