Cimi Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Fertilised my v. africana & p. viridis (with stowaway self-sown cherry tomato)! Relieved they seem to be flourishing finally after nearly losing the v. africana earlier on: Also fertilised my custard apple seedling which is going great guns: I don't know what the pretty blue flower is next to it, just self-sown. And most importantly, repotted a couple of lophs into terra cotta after being in plastic pots for a while. As you can see from the second one, the water from the soil is seeping into the terra cotta so they can dry out a bit. My lophs seem to have grown heaps this season. Unfortunately lost a few plants recently as well (khat, caapis). Thinking about starting a frog pond. I saw a giant golden-coloured furry bee in my garden which looked like one of these: http://www.aussiebee.com.au/xylocopa.html It buzzed really loud and I'm pretty sure it was a male golden carpenter bee. Another image which looks like him: Also rapt to see 4 new flower buds on my cereus cactus! Hopefully will get some fruit off it this time.

theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted February 22, 2014 Hey cimi, if I'm not mistaken in your first picture that is a voacanga africana and not an iboga, pretty sure they both came from me in that pic that's the only reason I'm commenting... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cimi Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Yeah that's right. Whoops, my mistake. Thought they were the same thing. Corrected the name. Edited February 22, 2014 by Cimi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Resistance Posted March 11, 2014 Today, as I do most days, I rotated the pots of my indoor Catha edulis seedlings, lightly watered them, sprayed the gnats and raised the thin blind because today is overcast (I use the thin blind like shade cloth. So if it's a super sunny day, the blind goes down for at least part of the day) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EthnoGuy85 Posted March 14, 2014 Received a package from a friend in Brazil today that has been in the post for about 4 weeks. Around 10 leaves of psychotria viridis total. Seems that about 6 decided to start throwing roots in transit. 3 different phenotypes from Santo Daime churches in the amazon rainforest ;) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) its from www.greenhousesensation.co.uk , uk made , i thnk its made from the same plastic they make airplane windsheild with. and its awesome that a uk manufacturer can actually do a good job instead of kiss its ass goodbye to a cheaper workforce country or become obsolete like bef pots for example, appear to have lol Also I added 2 mini aquarium led light strips that attach with suction cups , they come on from 1 am till sunrise to boost light hours and cuz 1 am till 8 am signifys cheaper electricity time -edit- incidentally , somewhere i wrote that they're 3 watts each led strip but i found out they're only 1.8watts which is even more economical lol just tryna hunt the post now to correct it Edited May 17, 2014 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted April 4, 2014 shit I got just a little beer more. it was a happy occasion today as always for a saggitarius. the main reason? chilli pepper sowing, which I thought had no hope, various strains, so I thought they had "expired" , sprouted as soon as I put in the green house first astrophytum myriostigma flower, ornatums had flowered couple days earlier. mammilarias and lophos keep flowering so today I watered, I took some shots of stenocacti forming fruit, and checked the over all thing.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frozenthunderbolt Posted April 4, 2014 Watered assorted cacti, catnip, salvia, coffee, HBWR and noted that the s.rue I had finally managed to germinate had died. enjoyed the aroma of double ruffled purple daturas and checked the progress of their seed pods. picked more N.Tobacum leaves and turned the ones curing in my study. Picked some more leaves off my mother salvia and brought them in to dry Noted that my Hemia, Calea and my Kanna are all flowering - i'll see if they set any seed. Licorice, horehound, wolfsbane, lobelia and assorted others are ready to pot up. We had RAIN and it was GLORIOUS! Finally finally finally. i might even plant out some of my little herbs if it happens again . . . got some green coffee beans (Sumatran) to try to germinate, need to pick some of the bagged seed heads of named varieties of N. Tobacum i got from the states. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
