Infact it was probably one of the first plants i've repotted but I messed it up. Basically i put the Cactus mix in, then "dug a hole", placed the cactus in and filled it up with the mix. Wrong. I watched a you tube video and it actually suggest to hold the cactus and push the soil between the roots so they aren't "squashed" and can spread out. It took me a few goes to get it right. Is that how most of the people do ...

I collected seeds in September. Normal fruit of kotschoubeyanus is pinkish white but the hybrid one was quite green. I sowed seeds on 07/10/09 and germination ratio was poor. Seedlings were pale compared to other Ariocarpus seedlings. I grafted 2 seedlings on07/11/09 and it seems they have taken. I took photo today. I also sowed additional seeds yeaterday.

I finally got fed up with mealies causing my huernias and staps to distort, and decided to go the Confidor route. When I trotted down to my local nursery, I found that they were selling the concentrate for $24 per 8mL tube. Bugger that! My sister works in a uni botany department, and I managed to get some from her, although I had to do it officially, and buy a bulkish amount. I reckon that I will now have more than I will use for years, so if anyone is interested, I'm hoping ...
