Prophet Posted February 25, 2007 yeah i've got a few more lithops but i wouldn't mind some more. They are active growers but that's about it as far as activity goes i think though i'm no expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strangebrew Posted February 28, 2007 I also like the Aloe? in the background of the 1st. Do you know what it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet Posted March 1, 2007 how did you get the bridgesii to germinate? i am having troubles.i germinated them in some empty fish aquariums that i had lying around. Just planted them in some pots on the surface full of sandy seed raising mix and put the glass lid on the tank until germination spraying occasionally with water from a plastic spray bottle. I cover the seeds with a very fine layer of the seed raising mix, just a sprinkle, but i don't think that is necessary. Afer germination i slowly removed the lid over the months as they grow giving them more airation and acclimatising them and continued spraying them and keeping them moist with the spray bottle. Its not that hard really. Just gotta make sure they don't dry out and make sure you've got a good sandy well drained seed raising mix. Hope this helps.How old are those bridgesii seedlings? probably about 6 months, i can't remember exactly. I also like the Aloe? in the background of the 1st. Do you know what it is? yeah its a kool looking aloe. Don't know its species name but my dad picked it up somewhere. Its very ornamental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
