Re: Hoodia seedlings
Yes, I kept watering. Not too much as it does get a bit cooler over winter.

Re: Opuntia humifusa seeds
I have seed pods now browning and withering. Do I need to wait for total dryness? How many seeds should I expect in a pod? What sort of size are the seeds? Are there any special cultivation notes for the seeds? I found O. humifusa easy from seed when I tried it, with good germination within a few w...

Re: If I haven't seen a mealie bug for a year
Very interesting Nick, incidentally did you damage any plants with your submersing regime? I've killed things in the past when trying to eradicate mealies. I believe you have relocated to Shetland, so wonder if the different, and presumably colder, climate might be a factor. Whatever the reason, lo...

Re: If I haven't seen a mealie bug for a year
If I haven't seen a mealie bug for a year do you think I've conquered them or am i just kidding myself? For a couple of years prior to relocating I carried out a regime of completely submersing all my plants (plant, pot, substrate, the lot) in a bucket of the most noxious insecticide I could lay my...

Re: Hoodia seedlings
I overwintered a batch successfully last winter by chickening out!
They stayed in the propagator, under lights, and all did very well.

Re: Are Haworthiopsis self-fertile?
I've had H. tessellata occasionally self-pollinate, producing seedlings true to type. I've not had other types self-pollinate.

Re: Aloe striatula
Last winter was singularly destructive - hopefully a one-off - in that many cacti and succulent plants, Aloe strtiatula being one, were caught off-guard by the early cold whilst still in active growth and subsequently damaged more than the temperatures would normally suggest. Nevertheless not many ...

Re: Autumn weather
It's certainly making the summer growers confused. Any remaining flower buds are being aborted and are falling off. Some early spring growers are confused too. One of my Pediocactus knowltonii is budding up. My P. knowltonii plants always produce buds in summer. Here's July 2021: knowltonii-0701.jp...
