Goldtop Posted July 10, 2012 Its dry on the outside jwert, well dryish. Its not like the orange brown rot ive had on trichos, it looks like a different type of savage. Little spots around 5mm square at this point, but they just keep expanding and forming new points over the plant. Hopin im not too late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBGONE Posted July 10, 2012 Some seedlings of my loph's batch had these spots. Because i had a lot of seedlings i discarded damaged cacties. One batch had a lot of them (that was from another vendor), and i discarded all the batch. Seems it is fungi inside the seeds, they must be contaminated and seems it is systemic desease. I tried difenoconazole spraying, it did not help (bu i did not wait long, just 2 days, and then discarded them). Now i spray the seedlings from the start of their sprouting. Wetting seeds before sowing with fungicide may be better prevention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Deep2Handle Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) dont worry about if the actual button is wet....is there any moisture in the substrate its in? if your in SE QLD(or just south of the border for legality), then the temps are dropping sub 10degC atm at night, with little good hard sunshine through the day as well, then I would keep it bone dry....My Mexican tap-roots haven't had a water for over 5 weeks now and they are all under cover) EDIT: I dont get the extreme over-wintering growth some of you get, but I rarely take losses.... Re-affirmed my thoughts on less is best the hard way recently with a Coprypantha longicornis. Edited July 11, 2012 by 2Deep2Handle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
