Re: Seeking Mammillaria densispina
It's on the ADBLPS seed list: Mammillaria densispina ML 312 > La Ciénega-Terrero del Refugio 2300m/AGS/Mexique It may be worth putting a post in the Wants/Swaps section on the forum for either seed or someone to add a single packet to an order with ADBLPS (or any other seed supplier who has it).

Re: It's going to get cold.
Hi all, I agree with Akko re the paper idea and fleece, also I think that bubble wrap is ineffective after a few hours and can cause condensation. If only a small collection I move the sensitive ones inside, and my heater cuts in at 3C. This raises my 12x10 ghouse up to 4 or 5 C, then it’s set to c...

Re: Seedlings stopped growing.
I use mineral only mix for raising seeds and use sealed plastic containers, sterilised and soaked with fertilised water prior to sealing. I find I get a growth check after a few months if I don't open up each container and start fertilising after germination and some growth has occured. As you are u...

Re: Post germination treatment of Cintia knizei
I found them pretty straightforward, potted them on as normal perfectly fine.

Re: Sulcorebutia crispata seed germination
Hi These seedlings (S. heinzii RH_3237) are a little more variable than average. They are all from the same sowing. In terms of temperature, I've recently been growing Sulcorebutia crispata subs. hertusii from seed and they come from around Zudañez which looks to get up to 27 o C or so. So lower mi...

Re: What seeds did you order? 2023
From ADBPLS Aloes- bowieae forbesii hoffmanii parallelifolia parvula reynoldsii Yes, Aymeric has (had?) a fine selection of less usual Madagascan Aloes. I've only just got my order in, but I'll see what I get from my selection. I've added a few hardy(ish) cacti and a Bulbine. I missed out on B. tor...

Re: Importing seeds from the EU to the UK
On a very quick read through, I didn't see anything suggesting that a Phyto certificate will be needed for importing cactus or succulent seeds from the EU.

Re: Ecehveria Maria worries
They look OK, probably a little stretched and open. These are quite cold hardy, they should be fine in an unheated greenhouse if kept dry over winter. They certainly don't need to be moved into the centre of a room overnight. UK winters have very little daylight, so it is best for many succulents to...
