Re: Pest ID

It seems too small for termite.
There are at least two types of termites in Canada - wet wood and subterranean ones.

Re: Not an Echinopsis, and not even a flower, but an odd Haworthia truncata 'Mammoth' with its own satellite dish!

Even with truncatas & co. I noticed the roots started shrivelling a day or two after I took the cuttings. Do they need to stay moist all the time? I'll try to keep them on the more moist side and see. I’ve done it with truncata ones. Accidentally broken root was placed in a slightly wet compost...

They have a Facebook page, one have to log in to see it which is strange for business.
Also nice instagram page.
Maybe you can contact them through Facebook?

Re: Gasteria seeds

I followed recommendation to let seed mature for 2-3 month before sowing and got about 70% germination rate. Beginners luck?

Re: Anime

May I ask what lowest safe temperature would be?
I keep my outside if it’s above -4C at night but bring them in if it’s getting colder.
