Re: December Cactus world is here
Still waiting for mine . I know it will be too late now to order seeds from the list. I guess it's just down to the mail system staff being run off their feet

Re: can Mealy Bugs swim?...
I sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the base of the pots. Stops them mealey bugs from wandering around

Re: Ariocarpus
Beautiful plants. I'm going to water my Ariocarpus seedlings a bit more than I have been doing after seeing your plants

Thankyou Juster. I have learnt a lot from experienced growers in the BCSS and so my thanks to everyone who has helped me in my four years of cacti and succulent ownership.

I sprinkle diatomaceous earth in the trays on the staging (and in compost when repotting)then I place my plants a little away from each other (socially distanced!) too. Touch wood I have been very lucky not to have root mealies. I did repot everything this year so have checked. I also give all plant...
