Pygmaeocereus bieblii

It's a very nice looking plant, and I am keen to get hold of a plant to compare it to the other Pygmaeocerei I have. If anyone has a seedling or cutting to spare, I would be very happy to swap for other plants or purchase.

Re: Propagating Units

I have a talk on seed raising I can give to branches if you want to see how I do it. :)

Re: Seed germination data

Just to add to the data, I have over the last few years been impressed with Aymeric de Barmon's seed list. He has some fairly unusual plants on offer, what comes up matches what it is supposed to be more reliably than several other sources I could mention, and generally I have had good germination w...

Splitting the forum?

Of course, another approach would be to split the forum into several forums. I'm not suggesting the following are well thought out, but you could have something along the following lines: Wants / For Sale / Swaps Cultivation / Propagation/ Seed Growing Habitat / Trips Pictures of Plants / Requests f...

Re: Surplus Seedling / Plant List

Bob

yes, you have got it wrong! :-) Many members are not in the position of having something to swap, so I do not see what is wrong with offering spare plants for sale at modest cost, which would also be a service to these members.
