joeyromacus Posted May 2, 2012 Hi all, I've just recently joined this fantastic site, thought I'd say hello. Hello. I've also recently started to get my ethno garden started so have begun ordering seeds and hope to have some strong growing cacti and other enthos soon. I'm new to Brisbane and was wondering if there were any locals that would be interested in helping give my garden a bit of a kick start with some form of cuttings or whether anyone knows of where to locate anything of interest in this city? Thanks Joey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted May 2, 2012 Hi mate, and welcome. I'm sure there's a brisbane crew that meet every now & then, keep an eye out for threads. A couple of good places for legal ethno seeds, plants and herbs are: http://www.shaman-australis.com.au/shop/ http://www.herbalistics.com.au/shop/catalog/ They are both very reputable traders in the community. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyromacus Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks for the welcome. I have started my search with shaman australis and am very happy with their service. I've got some cacti to start and am waiting on some Desmanthus not sure where I'm going with it now though. Suggestions? Thanks for the link psylo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeyromacus Posted May 3, 2012 Alright, so some caapi will be in my next order. I've got a little heated green house going so winter shouldn't be a huge problem to get stuff going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOnThen Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Hello The one thing I regret not doing when I first started out was not planting cacti seeds. I wanted to get a collection together fast so I bought I lot of Trichocereus cuttings so now I have some big cacti but if I had sown seeds as well I could have a army of Lophophora, Turbinicarpus, Ariocarpus and Astrophytum on there own roots and most at flowering age . Actually when I think about it there are a lot of seeds I should have sown when I first started. Seeds are cheap and It takes time for plants to mature but If you sow as many as you can now imagine what your garden will be like in three to four years time. Cheers Got Edited May 3, 2012 by GoOnThen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyromacus Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah I've already got some going, looking to expand to a very varied garden though. Any ideas on some rarities I should keep an eye out for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyromacus Posted May 4, 2012 @Vual, are there ever any meets or something in the Brisbane area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndianDreaming Posted May 4, 2012 Hey Joey! Definately get onto Psylo's recommendation - I've bought seeds and plants from both and they're fantastic. All seeeds and plants came well wrapped and labelled and there's plenty of growing advice on their sites. I now have lots of lovely tiny cacti happily growing in my humidity tent and a B caapi, P. viridis... etc the list goes on but the space in the yard grows thin!

Opticaldelusion Posted May 4, 2012 Welcome mate! Stick around and you will have seeds aplenty! I am reasonably new here and have been able to start to sow quite a few varieties out thanks to the generosity of a lot of members here already. When you have a few to trade, then trade your way up on the free ethno's thread. . I have a limited selection of seeds at the moment that I have either sown some of and have a few left over as well as some that I am either not really ready for or am lacking the space, so if you shoot me a PM I'll have a look and let you know what I may be able to spare. Cheers. OD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
