A couple years ago (like 3 or four) I was walking around in Home Depot lookin' at the cacti, and I often noticed some pieces of cacti just sitting on the trays. So, I just took a couple and stuffed them in my pockets. One of them has grown a bit, and has made lots of little baby cacti around its...

Hilla is it ok?

Several months ago my girlfriend bought a small cactus at our local Home Depot. It came in a very small pot and has a large, bulbous red head with little yellow "things" sprouting out all over the top (shows you how much I know about cacti). All was going well for a few months and the little guy...

Hey guys, Have a look at this really scary and cool article. Someone gave me the link on another forum. AHHH My thoughts on this is that if this is contagious, we'll all mutate into savage walking plants which destroy everything in our path. wezx

With all the recent news on disasters, it came to my attention how tenuous our comfortable living can be. Granted that in difficult times the safety of ourselves and loved-ones is paramount, I think many of us would nonetheless be affected by the loss of our plants, which are often regarded as...

Hello All, A young man I know recently expressed an interest in carnivorous plants, which in turn got me interested, and so I thought it a good idea to join these forums. My only previous experience with CPs was as a young man myself, when I managed to quickly kill a fly trap bought from the...

I have this huge bag of canadian sphagnum peat moss and I'm worried that it won't last long without getting moldy. The reason I thought of this is because I went to use some Miracle Grow Cacti soil and the surface of it was covered in these yellow green fluffy mold balls. I just mixed it around...

I hate to bring up bitter memories from April, but I thought that some of you would find this interesting

So I've been battling aphids since mid-winter and I finally exhausted my big bottle of pyrethrum. I thought they were finally gone for good, after five weeks with no sightings, but today I found one on the flower stalk of my D. spathulata. I've gotten most of them, but they persist among my...

that's it. i'm incurable!!! i was looking through the plant section for some new pots for my cacti (i should know better than to do this by now, that's how this nonsense got started! ;) ) and they had some baby nep's on sale... bone dry but they didn't look like they'd given up yet. so being...

Here's the first one. This one produces large lily like yellow flower(wish I still had a photo). This came as "Mammilaria oaxa" if I remember correctly. Any chance of pollinating the flowers?

Hi, I have questions about the Bishop's Cap. There's a chance that I may not be able to get a VFT, so my next alternatives are cacti. Unfortunately, my mother (we're from China) says that having spiny or sharp plants is bad feng shui. (part of the reason why I may not be able to get a VFT) So, I...
