MindExpansion, it is indeed a good idea to use humidity tents to make the seeds germinate ~ when they do, you're supposed to slowly aclimate them to drier situations....
and.. yeah, I wasn't thinking straight .... it's fucking hot here!
-
I already got numerous seeds left, the two in soil are doing great and I also put my last one which was in a big pot also in soil
~ but we should be doing some trade sometime soon, sure ;)
-
Cool seedlings mate!
I sowed various Trich seeds yesterday, and put them in a diy mini-greenhouse. Here is is:
I really hope I will also have some babies in 4-6 weeks from now!!
Questions: how old are they [since sowing] - what was the germination rate [% of seeds germinating] ?
Why did you say it's not a good time to sow? too hot???
========
regarding the artificial lighting thing, I guess that maybe people forget that not everyone is in the same climate, so maybe Zak could be benefited by artificial lighting in Canada while others in other milder climates could do well with no such aids.

Thanks mate. Good to know as well... It is indeed something like 5-6 months sinbce it appeared. And I am keeping an eye on it, yeah

A spot were several Solanacea meet and talk about stuff....
A Nicotiana rustica, a Datura stramonium {?} which flowers lilac though, Hysocyamus albus and Hysocyamus niger which can't really be seen whole.
There's the datura flower.... any idea on ID?
other views of the same spot, H.albus, some time ago....

Some of my Brugmansias [yeah, I have posted some of those in other threads too, but they too belong here]

here's my third species which flowered today! Any idea about an ID ??
edit: sorry this thread is dead due to moving my photos.. sorry..

Here are my two Turbinas, side by side, some days ago. They were transplanted recently. In the same spot I had a heavenly blue Ipomoea [the one in my avatar] from July to November, which did very well.
They are starting their climbing habit and seem quite happy. I use nicotine insecticide and keep an eye on greenflies to protect the tender climbing vines. Nicotine seems to work with this plant, as well as Argyreia. The plan is, if they manage to climb a bit more up those sticks, they will be reaching a good sun-spot.

Thanks, these white arboreas are one of my first plants actually. Their flowering was last September, and I also had one more recently. No soil change, just som feeding from time to time.
arborea is the only self fertilizing brug so you may get a pod....a flower can pollenate itself.Nice to know, thanks... I do have one pod in one of the arboreas... for a long time.... it's becoming brown this period.

As I said I have another species flowering these days, a pink one, also propagated from cutting, so I went to see how it looks like before posting, since yesterday it looked more like yellow/orange to pink and I had begun to wonder if I had mixed the cuttings. To my delight, the flowers are taking their final shape today, so here they are:
Any idea what kind of brugmansia is it??

Awesome thread!! How are you cacti going anyway??
I am currently gathering info these days to try to sprout some 7 species of interesting trichocereus... among other things....
I would appreciate it everyone to tell me how do you shade the pots... Do you also cover at the begining, until it sprouts? Should I also take the cover off as well, to prevent the seeds from rotting??
Please say more about bottom watering also... how much would you fill the ice box, up to the soil surface in the pots or a bit less, or much less than that.
Thanks in advance <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png I am new in cacti thing, but enthusiastic and willing to learn...
I also have a small san pedro offered by corroborre user jono ( I am tryin to learn it get along with full sun ) and one more big bridge cutting is on the way.
Would all these advice also adress to succulents seeds sprouting??
-
Yeah, I wish I could help with ID. I am a beginer with cacti....
-
babies?? I don't think they are babies <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png

yellow insignis,
white arborea [has a single seedpod ~ is it going to finish it?]
as some folks ID'ed them here in Corroboree, thanks
I am having my third kind of brugs flowering for their first time. They're pink. Will be posting pics too https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png
-
Sorry if this sounds dumb, isn't 'heavenly blue' variety I.tricolor?? It's a violacea ?
-
It would be cool to put some pictures of the mushroom you bioessayed <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png

Very interesting thread. Nice to find so many cacti & succulents experts in one forum.
-
I have started a delosperma ID here
http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/inde...showtopic=17772
as well... Looks tricky. The flowers , I think, are essential, since even with the flowers pics it's quite difficult to be sure. I have yet to find someone to reply to my thread.
I can only say, from the research I have done so far, that it looks like Delosperma cooperi plant meterial, but also like Lampranthus.
-
Can you be more specific. I have found myself some differences both by appearance as by sources & description
-
Shit man, they're identical! I didn't know about Labranthus. Thanks. I have to search more....
-
Noone who cares to share an opinion or two? Is it so difficult species to identify? I don't seem to find anything similar, even though all three species have slight differences from oneother.
-
Rev you say you have D.copperii
Care to help with some IDs?
