Bought this off Ebay awhile ago, finnaly uploaded the flower photos, not good photography at all.
Still see the remnants of a Mealy infestation....

Michael that is awesome incredibly bright + very nice plant.
congrats too on conquering the mealys. plant looks healthy enough to me.

Conquering the mealys? Are you serious? Wont even go on that subject i dont think.

^hahahahaha
how many bottles of Confidor is it up to now? 10?

Nope, 1 bottle, 1 box of satchets, and i gave up till growing season

Nice one got to love them spines !!!!

I wonder why you are still getting mealies after so much treatment. Did you treat all you plants?

If you still have them try rogor next and see how you go. Won't be long and they will be growing.........if this cold ever goes away.

Im pretty sure that Clavata has got rid of them and alot of others, just that i didnt get around to doing a second spray because it got too cold, so yeh. I still have a WHOLE heap i have to re-pott so i will see the damage then.

If it ever goes away, im sick of negatives, frosts, rain and everything, suprised my cacti are still alive.

hello

this ssp is the only eriosyce/neoporteria that grows stretching...
I still can not find it in habitat, it grows in the Elqui valley, east of La Serena.

How do mean 'stretching'? Do you mean elongated? I thought varietas of E. subgibbosa had this type of growth habit? Namely E. subgibbosa var. nigrihorrida.

I may have misinterpreted what you meant though.
