not long ae, prob will open the next sunny day!

david attenborough said the largest living structure is the great barrier reef coral is cool, i wish i could grow it

i have noticed a few off my seedlings melting away over the last couple days, could this be the start of some sort of infection? could anyone suggest a safe fungicide/ other method of saving my wee friends? any suggestions very much appreciated!

hey i was wondering if anyone knows if cacti can be planted in soil with pine trees growing around them? we are looking at a primo wee spot for an outdoor cactus and succulent garden which gets great sun and is nice and dry, only thing is this is at the bottom corner of a pine block, and i know pines are acidic, would this acidity damage/kill the roots and or the plants eventually? cheers, kea

it looks like some sort of philocereus being that blue and having hair

real ok thats gud i will do that

could very well be heat build up, forgot to mention they are on a heatpad cheers

i got the seeds from zelly, sowed at the start of april. so just over a month old. had a few albinos, some are still alive now which seems longer than they should survive.

it cant be too much light or sunburn as they dont get very much, they sit below the level of the window and are in chambers, also getting into winter now, i thought about maybe its too wet so have been keeping the lid off for a few hours at a time. i saw a few little fly like things hanging around the one tray that i have had things die in. no worms or noticeable mould or fungi. it has only taken about 5-8 of my seedlings but they just kind of loose their turgidness and then wilt like a minature balloon unitl they are just a wee green speck. but it happens quite fast like, 24-48hrs they are gone, from looking fine. i will try repotting them all into a clean container with new soil and pumice. thanks for your suggestions i will keep looking for defining factors. kea

nice mushroom colony, maybe they could be your pets i think it was david attenborough who said that fungi are actually more similar to animals than plants

some very helpful info, thanks for posting

wow!

i have some albino loph and tricho seedlings, they sprouted a few weeks back now and i dont quite know what to do with them, a couple have died and the survivng ones have no pigment at all. any ideas anyone?

hey does any one have any ariocarpus, loph, or calea zacatechichi seeds? also for datura metel, cool astrophytom hybrids (esp caput medusae) i am looking to buy or trade some seed. please PM me. thanks, kea

is this at the coromandel cacti nursery? how did that wee button go for u is he happy in his new home?

very lovely collection i never bother too much with mesembrianthemums but after seeing your pics i will be keeping my eyes peeled for them. must be good to have two gardens, one rooftop, one more natural habitat. bit of variation is always nice. 10 points!

great habitat pics MS you must get to see some of the coolest plants
