Chamaecereus silvestrii are really coming into their own now

Tetters has been scouring the internet for good seed sellers. These came from a seller in Italy, will report back on their progress

Drilled some cleaned fish food tubs..

Got no vermiculite at the moment so using crushed and sieved thermalite blocks.

Put a layer of Jack's Magic compost and then a layer of thermalite on top...

Sprinkled the seed, soaked from the bottom then labeled and put the lids on.

These are some Saguaro seeds we sowed some weeks back. So far 7 have germinated.

They will grow 50 foot tall

Planning your own desert @zigs ?

Should be useful if this drought carries on @Sheal

Owcho wants a desert of her own

 

[Sheal]

I can't imagine @Tetters wanting a garden full of 50ft cacti @zigs.

Owcho's stunning and yellow's my favourite colour.
