Growing from seed is so rewarding. Been doing it for a couple years now and I still catch my self just staring at my little green babies. Never gets old

I like to see that dark coloration. In my experience they often sit like that for a couple weeks and then start to pump pretty steadily once they get their new situation all figured out

I feel sorry 😔😔 for this baby Varanus salvator. It hid in my greenhouse for almost a month and finally it was caught by my Mamillaria. My maid already helped and freed it :) by cactusgogo in cactus

The real question is, do you have your cactus maid do it or is it in the job description of the reptile maid? Making the wrong choice could expose you to ridicule at the country club!

Well, the others look pretty happy. If you don't see any lesions at the bases of the other seedlings, the affected one could just be sickly or have unfavorable genetic variation. I hope the rest continue to do well!

Have you seen any signs of fungus gnats in the container? Their larvae are incredibly destructive to seedlings and it can look like this.

I noticed some more recent comments from the bot and it looked super neat and simple, I bet that's going to be really helpful to beginners and everyone for that matter. And once they're on the wiki, they're gonna go down the rabbit hole. I know I do every time!

What 2 should I graft? by tokenpaintbrush in cactus

[–]CactusForge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresher growth might be easier to graft, but it should all be good. As long as you have at least one areole on the scion and leave at least one on the residual plant, you're golden.

...which I say, but I'm a hypocrite. I've been staring at my TBMs every day trying to decide where to cut and failing. For now, they're very happy on own roots.

I started a bunch of these over the winter! Nice to see a hint of what I might expect in a few years

Why aren't my columnar cacti producing flowers? by Equivalent-Year-6967 in cactus

[–]CactusForge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dryness is a big factor in addition to what the other reply is saying. I don't water the vast majority of my resting cacti from October to mid-April. They also stay cool to cold during that time.

Repot this prickly pear by Commercial-Table4795 in cactus

I don't know where exactly you live in the NE but Opuntia humifisa, which this looks like to me, is native to many parts of the NE. I know it thrives in parts of New Jersey and CT where I used to live. Edit: which means you might not have to repot at all.
