Re: Cactus and Succulent Fertilisers.
When you read about the requirements of each INDIVIDUAL plant you discover that they all differ like all other species on the planet. To wish for a universal solution is a big ask. The only commonality in the data sheets I have seen is the need for the element potassium to be more than that for nitr...

Re: Glochids
Try superglue ... let it dry fully and peel it off.
Or
Duct tape.
Done the Opuntia spines in mouth and nose etc but the above solutions were not suitable at the time

Re: What should be the fate of my damaged Echinopsis?
An update on the partially poorly plant. After a recent rather enlightening York branch meeting (yes I know not MY branch, but near to my abode) I learned much about preparing plants for showing - and this is what could be best described as good housekeeping for the collection. Two other rescued pla...

Should my mammillaria spinosissima ooze a white sap?
I acquired said plant a few weeks ago. The surface had black sticky gunk on it; some of which dropped off; some of which remained.

Re: Different colour Lithops
CactusKid ..... you're not wrong. Two stunningly good plants. And the colour of the Texas Rose is amazing. I'm not a big fan of Lithops but that plant has just gone onto my "must have" list.
