    Been a while

    Hey Guys, One that I'm particularly happy to have is Echinopsis arboricolis; the only epiphytic Echinopsis which also happens to be very rare in the wild even. Perhaps a remaining link between the Rhipsalideae and terrestrial Echinopsis as we know them. Another is Epiphyllum baueri, this is a...

    Benefits of a fogger

    I've done a lot of work with the ultra sonic foggers and they do 2 things; 1) they greatly raise humidity and...... 2) they tend to kill things with over moisture, mold, mildew, bacteria, etc... They are great for starting cuttings (probably the best) but once the cuttings are established they...

    Cacti Identification

    Cereus tetragonus aka Fairy Castles It grows into a moderately large cactus, maintanable in a pot. The pot will fill with littler ones you see and it gets a sort of castle look to it. Bright light - Full sun water thoroughly and then allow to completely dry before watering again. Grows mostly...

    auxins and cytokinins

    JLAP, What do you think RoundUp is and why it's so effective. (or rather used to be until 2 years ago) I've used Cyto, Auxins, and Gibbs with no ill effects although sometimes hard to tell a difference in the plant too. Not all plants will respond much sometimes. X-mas cactus are an easy one to...

    Small Round and Square Pots

    I grow tropical cactus but they have very similar drainage and root aeration needs and I have found these pots to be about the best for small pots, unfortunately I have not found them bigger. pots Joe

    How cool is too cool for lowland/

I can't say for sure of when the real cold sets in which will be in the -10'sF. So far so good though. Humidity has not been an issue. I think...

    Lophophora williamsii

    They will flower in a shorter time period but yes, to mature size is quite a while........at least in a human time frame. The good thing is they do take from growth point cuttings quite readily in sand and lime with a little sulphur on the cut. They also will pup quicker when the "head" is...

    How cool is too cool for lowland/

    Ok, So I know this has surely been asked many a times; and once upon a time I did know but it has been a while since I had any interest. Due to getting tired of trying to maintaine a chamber, I all together gave up on Neps but here I am now with a gh finally. I want to know which could do...
