Hehe, it's not such a bad thing to be confused with a Lithops. There are not many nicer plants IMHO. :)

Hi David,
This is why (time permitting) I treat all my seed rather than the compost/water very few people seem to take this direction but I hardly get any problems with fungus/moss when I do this. So as I have mentioned before Strombocactus, aztekium, blossfeldia are no problem & can be left for months even years without any build up.

I'd like to treat my seeds Phil but I don't know how to go about it. I'm sure they are the weakest link, so any advice would be welcome.

I still think quality of seed is a big factor. I have sown 3 lots of Edithcolea grandis from 3 sources. All were sprayed with Cheshunt compound before bagging. 2 lots have come up completely, the other nothing at all.

As I reported, I ordered some Chinosol from Cactus Plaza on Monday (40 tablets for about 10 euro). They arrived today, so not bad for delivery time. 40 100mg tablets, one per pint - only problem iare the dutch instructions.

For those of us who use Cheshunt Compound this has been one of my best years for germination. I think that the recent weather conditions have helped. My propagator is rather fixed in its temp range so it has been around mid 60's in the day and up to mid 90's on a couple of daytimes with the sunny conditions.

I still think quality of seed is the major factor.
