WOW, great looking seedlings there Betty.
Astrophytum onzuka cv columnare white looks wierd

Remember who your new cactophoile friends are when its time to sell some off (that sounded so cheap)...

....but, I'm sure i'll have some of my own to trade.

Thanks Cal, the soil is only Debco seed raising mix and coir from a brick. Then I have sprinkled propogating sand over the top to help deter scarid fly grrrrrrrr

I have two different types of baits, rogor insect plant spray and using rogor systemic every couple of weeks. I think they knew the minute I turned on the heat mat Mad

I will remember my new found cactophile friends when it comes time to sell Wink

The onzuka does look kinda weird now that you mention it Razz

nice seedlings betty. Smile

they all look nice and healthy. onzuka columnare sure looks like a columnar.
Good work with the Discocacti. i only got one seedling of D. horstii up, and it was bright orange (completely variegated) and i tried grafting it to pereskiopsis but it failed.

Nice ones Betty! Your really into the seed raising! The Onzuka Columnar does look quite weird, and the mature plant even weirder:P I like the normal Onzuka better hahaha.
What are you going to do when it comes time to move house?
