hey there, i was looking to buy some crocus sativus bulbs if anyone has any available. I was after approximately 10 of 'em Let me know via PM for your price etc cheers!

ok, i'll look around for them in summer

I know of someone on another forum who was selling chaliponga seeds and I almost bought some off him 'til I discovered he lived in peru. I doubt they would have ever gotten through customs. edit: coincidentally I think I just found him again through a post on this forum, going by the username 'shamanic plants'

ahhh, kenaf... nature's most successful troll

i could probably get you a pup off a monstrose cereus peruvianus

interesting method, producing some interesting champignons. nice work

beat me to it!

many thanks!

this is a popular day to have your baby I see, I'm off to a mates party as we speak. happy birthday brother

My ~3.5 cm lophophora is a little wrinkled and sagging a bit on one side, and is soft the the touch all around. I watered it about 3 days ago, and don't water it too often, maybe once a month or so. I am scared that I made it rot, what should I do? I don't have access to a camera at the momemtn so I can't take any photos. There is no obvious sign of rot such as discolouration etc, it is just a bit sagged, wrinkled and soft.

I removed it from soil, dried soil, and replanted it to be sure. I took some photos of the bare roots to see if there is any rot: I'm sorry if the image comes out huge, I'm having trouble trying to figure image posting out. I'm beginning to think that I was just overly worried it was rotting when in reality it's just doing its thing and shrinking and softening for winter.

the roots are fine, this was the last watering it was going to get until it starts heating up and it is still 20 degrees and over where i lve.

mine arrived about a week ago waterboy, thanks! I was going to reply and say cheers but I'd somehow convinced myself it had already been done. many thanks waterboy you are a legend!

great advice trucha! I think it is more likely they will die of pampering - they are my babies! cheers

thanks for the responses. I have about 20 seedlings that are half a year old, each just under a cm in diameter. I also have one large approx 4 year old one, that is almost 4cm in diameter. Night temperature in winter is lowest 8 degrees celsius. However, they are on my windowsill and still get 4 hours of direct sunlight in the morning get indirect sunlight day. around what month should I stop giving it water and when shall i start watering constantly again? this is the first year I've grown lophophora.

mine arrived yesterday, and there was a very generous amount of seeds. thanks lokstok!

got mine yesterday, thankyou!

Hey guys, I have claimed a couple of free seed packets lately, so I feel it's in order to reciprocate with what I have. The first 5 people to reply in this thread and PM me their addresses can have a packet of N. tabacum seeds.

The seeds are in the post and should be there in a few days. Let me know how it goes p.s: bundy bear, I haven't sent yours out yet but I've got some seeds saved for you if you still want them.

I still have 2 more here to go assuming pat uri isn't after any

I've been interested in this for a while, and my lurking today has paid off as I'm in time!! PM'd

hey, I have had success germinating them without ever having to soak them. all I did was lay them on moist seed raising mix and kept the environment in the propagator warm and very humid.
