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...

I found them pretty straightforward, potted them on as normal perfectly fine.

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...

ALOE perrieri [PR/15] If you are out of luck for the above, let me know, as I have my own seeds that I would be happy to share. Thank you for your kind offer, I won't be needing to take you up on it as I have received the response today, everything I ordered is in stock except for the Aloe florence...

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...

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.

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...

3 portions of Yavia available at time of posting. Good luck!

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

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...
