cactus

I have 5 seed producing plants in a large planter. I took a shot of a seedling more than two years ago. These plants were all sold at a Connecticut Cactus and Succulent Society meeting in NJ this past summer. I have fresh seed from time to time. If anyone wants any, its yours for the postage...

Hi all I found this site via a Google search for culture info on Mexican Pings. But as it turns out, my one and only Mexican Ping was purchased from FlyTrapShop.com this summer-so I should have known about this forum before now. I have a P. moctezumae. I also have a few pots of VFT, about 5...

I started some cactus seeds a few weeks ago and I've had 10 germinate so far. The seeds came from a mixed pack, so I don't know what these are yet. I just wanted to show the new babies. :) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganekapellen/6190196987/" title="Cactus Seedling by...

I came across this very interesting letter while researching Drosera that quite frankly makes me smile. It's a publication from 1873 which compares the attractive dew of the Sundew to the temptations of sin. Whether you be a religious man, or irreligious, it's still worth a read...

Cactus seedling questions Hello, I germinated some Echinocactus grusonii seeds a few weeks ago... Yes, I now know it's a very bad time of year to germinate them, but it's too late now. :P So, I just started reading this cactus germination guide on the net and realized I'm doing a lot of stuff...

My wife and i attended a meeting with our local Cactus Club yesterday and had a chance to talk cacti and other plants with the members there. One fellow was trying to give away Lophophora williamsii seeds produced by his own plants, but there was zero interest from the other members there. At...

Cactus As you can see, it doesn't look "full" enough" and there are brown patches/scales? This thing has been declining the whole time I've had it--maybe I should repot it?:-( EDIT: The darkish spot towards the base is just dirt and shadow nothing to worry about. I'm more concerned about the...

I would like to know their names, and for those i've already know their names, i'm just checking if it was correct. Thanks! Here are some cactus. --------------------------------------- http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1A3A7ZkAcjw/TgRfqNDDdCI/AAAAAAAABr8/qjrsamJQPcQ/s1600/Cactus%2Ball.jpg...

You may have seen these guys on thinkgeek as the mini pet cactus. I bought one two years ago, and she was great! I named her fluffy, wore her around my neck, and brought her everywhere with me... But alas, life is such a fragile thing, and before I knew it, the love of my life had been wrenched...

I snapped up this Lithops at a local nursery, but it didn't come with an ID ("Lithops species," gee thanks :lac: ) I've been poring through the forum and I now understand that one of them is stacked. Swords, it will take me days and days to get through all the info you've deposited here, it's...

Hello to all! Just getting started here, been a member for just a short while. I have recently gotten interested in cp's in earnest. Dabbled with a few things for a couple of years. Alas, I do not have a lot of cp's to trade. However I do have some tropicals, succulents, and various seeds...

This tiny Mexican cactus is both very unique looking and a producer of spectacular flowers considering it's small stature. M. luethyi link And here are some of the fifteen M. luethyi seedlings that were sown on March 5th of last month. dvg

My turn for epic photo thread ;) Went to San Diego about 2 weeks ago. Didn't go see thez, we didn't have enough time and it was on a friday, she was probably at work anyways. It was pouring rain while driving there. At around 2 the skies cleared up and the sun came out, it was beautiful. Was...

I just noticed today that my Mammillaria prolifera is flowering. This plant grew from an unrooted pup I had purchased for 25 cents at a local Cactus & Succulent Society sale a few years back. These plants are very easy to grow and because they pup so easily, they readily spread across a pot...

For any of you that might be interested in trying to grow cacti or succulents from seed, here is a list of a few places that might be able to offer the seed of that special plant you've always wanted to someday grow. This is a list that was compiled by a couple of members from our local Cactus...

Hello, My name is Michael fallen and I live in springdale PA. I've been growing plants as long as I can remember. I started out with a few cactus on the windowsill but when I was about six I started collecting orchids. Now I have about sixty orchids and about twenty nepenthes, a cephalotus, a...

I was at a local garden center yesterday looking for a pot for my extremely rootbound Golden Barrel Cactus, which unfortunately proved unfruitful. :-( Not the point of this story. I had already received a N. x "Deroose Alata" as a gift from somebody from this nursery, and had also seen them...

Is it a must for P. medusina to go through dry dormancy to survive? If so, are they grown similar to how you'd keep cactus or succulents? I like the way the leaves look like hair strands, and was planning on getting one???
