Hello there forum peeps, I went out browsing my ornamentals today and gave them a water for the first time a while and I've noticed some mealy bugs setting up shop on the growing tips which has me worried, It's been a while since I checked these plants so I've no idea how long they've been at it and not sure what I should do, It's a little stressful as anything I've found online tells me the mealies will pretty demolish my collection So do mealies usually start off above ground or below ground? What should I be using to treat the mealies? and do I need to anything different if they're in the soil as well. Just found this link here -> http://www.extento.hawaii.edu/kbase/reports/hIlandsc_rootmealyb.htm "Hot Water Dips Kill Research conducted by the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources has demonstrated that hot water dips alone or with insecticides work as insecticides such as Dursban WP and Marathon G. Watering plants prior to drench application will significantly reduce problems with phytotoxicity. Submerging potted Rhapis palms in 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) water until the internal root ball temperature reaches 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius) is 100 percent effective in killing root mealybugs and does not significantly affect the potted plants." Anyone ever tried this for killing root mealies?

All my trichs are roasting on the concrete as is and they don't seem infected Burn bitches!!!!! Love'd all the response, this was possibly the most worried ive been for my babies in the 3 years ive been collecting after reading all the hype online but as always the truth shines through on these forums, I think i'll try a regime of confidor to kill these little suckers and if nothing else have learnt I should probably pay more attention to my ornamentals over winter and practice some sort of quarantine/pest control method such as always checking/repotting store bought plants etc etc. I'll keep the thread updated with my progress

Haha thats gold!

I looked into this a few months ago but kinda stopped after reading all the posts on the author being full of shit and supposedly just peddling his on oils for cash but I'd be super keen to here from some members here on their experiences, I'll be watching this space

Spice-of-life not to sure about that being a Yowie, looks very knuthianus to me based on how big those notches are, can anyone confirm that?

Count me in! Pm'd

Figured some here would find this interesting, a interesting review of GM crops and their development. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=transgenics-a-new-breed-of-crops

On soundcloud he appears to be rocking a Dave Smith Prophet synth, I wish I had a Prophet to jam around on when I was 2!!! Lucky little kid! Scrap that, its a Mopho not a Prophet.

Good question, I didnt even consider at the time that the eggs may contain the brug alkaloids. We we're eating the eggs though and no one had any hallucinogenic effects or sickness.

My chickens used to devour heaps of brug leaves to without any ill effect. I was really worried the first time they did it, I came out the back to find they'd stripped my brug of leaves so I rushed to suss out chickens reactions to brugs online and found that they too have pretty crazy digestive systems that allow them eat all sorts of shit.

Pick me Pick me! haha Nice giveaway though, very generous

Tragic.

Maybe more, assuming cacti weighs similar to water by volume if it were a 5m x 40cm cylinder of water it'd be about 600kg or so. I assume that beast would probably be 40cm thick to. I think you'd be needing a crane or some sort of pulley/rigging system for that weight, definitely not the sort of thing you'd wanna drop.

Heres my staffy Luca trying to go incognito with an army crawl in his camo and then doing what he does all day, sleeping on my bed.

My brugs just get raped daily and there appears to be nothing I can do about it Pellets aren't good either as my staffy eats anything he can.

Well for me grafting the terscheckii there were 2 reasons. First off I thought it was good practice and I'm assuming a little terscheckii seedling could grow a fair amount quicker on a much quicker growing stock. However for pachanoi, bridgesii, peru etc I'm not to sure why you'd need to.

Bought some of these beauties recently and they are top quality plants!!

My loph graft growing our of its mite damage & a T. terscheckii on T. scop.

I'd rather his sentence than having to write the 5,000 word essay im writing for uni on the ethical dilemmas facing IT professionals & software developers At least writing about cannabis would be a hell of lot more interesting, plus I'd be able to conduct first hand research haha

Jeez number 10 has some bloody CRAZY spinage! Imagine if the dude jumping from his car bonnet into the optunia tried that stunt with a bush of this. Death by cactus impaling
