I hope your losses weren't too extreme.

You should hope for the opposite when testing for cold hardiness the more specimens fail to thrive the more advantage you can see for keeping those that actually made it. I've still got my few frozen bits outside hoping for more freezes, but suffice it to say... I don't see how beneficial that might be seeing that I put thousands of seedlings outside and had less than a handful make it. But, I'm still trying to push the envelope nonetheless.

After freezing my collection... down to a very appalling small number now of survivors, I was greeted with signs of flowers today on this little rascal.flowerheaven.thumb.jpeg.34d3b582fe0b067949f138f1339c59d9.jpeg

:3 at last ... 20190413_150527[1].jpg

only seedlings and peijotl to go for when all risks of frosts farque auf + at least another round of sluggo to perpetuate the out-wipeage of the little farkles...

 

Mind you ,.... better organizing and stackage seems to have allocated a lot of offensive empty space where cacti should be ... what to do about it tho eh? :3

Seeds that look like scale a few days before Halloween. Trick or Treat?

I was at the beach for the long weekend and arrived home today to find a bunch of grafts I did on Friday carked it in the heat. On the upside, the weather really brought out some nice marks on a few older plants!

TH-   have you ever thought about building a cold frame and over wintering some of your smaller cacti outdoors?
