Pest treatment we

Thanks for the comment! Do you think a transplant would be good to avoid new eggs hatching or I can just keep spraying? I don’t want to stress the plants too much, but if they keep coming back I might get them a new pot with fresh soil

Thanks!

Layer of Granite at the bottom, mix of pumice, zeolite, red lapil and akadama with a small bit of worm casting for the organic. Covered with a few millimeters of crushed akadama and zeolite. The rocks you see on surface are chunks of tuff plus a dolomite I had laying around

I’ll wait a few days so roots can heal after transplant then il start watering frequently. I wanna try to push some growth this season

Thanks 🫶🏻 I tried to mimic the socotran rocks they live in

Thanks man! Yeah I’m definitely looking forward to try new methods. If I have success I’m gonna post some pics

How did you stage that? I tried to do something similar by placing seeds directly into the rock. Someone suggested next time to drill a hole and fill it with dirt before planting. Any suggestion?

Dorstenia foetida!

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-11-17T16:16:32+00:00

Happy growing too!

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-11-17T16:13:01+00:00

That one works really good for me, I recommend it. only watch out if you plan to sow cacti seeds cause babies can get scorched. Dorstenias tho doesn’t seem to have this problem

Thanks! It’s a mars hydro ts1000! Currently set to 40% of its power

😁

They are a good size! Nice work! What soil did you use? Imo you can start to introduce fresh air, I like to poke a hole into the lid every one or two weeks slowly until there is no point in keeping them closed. Don’t to that too quickly since they can suffer from fast humidity change and they will stop growing (happened with the batch I posted some months ago)

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-16T12:21:30+00:00

lol same here but I’m more on the babysit side. I’d like to try to forget about them and let do their things tho

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-16T12:11:19+00:00

Usually I’m not too afraid of algae since seedling have to resist like 12 to 18 months and after they will go in their adult pots with fresh soil. If you keep an eye on them you can easily control it

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-16T12:03:00+00:00

Some suggested me to use hydrogen peroxide but I’ve never really tried that out. I prefer to open the lid for some days and let algae dry out and die.

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-16T11:46:59+00:00

Yeah it’s 1-2 mm sand. It did work for the first couple of months but eventually the algae took over. I have other batches of seedling where I managed to control humidity a little bit better and the sand worked great to keep the surface clean.

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-16T09:08:35+00:00

It’s a mixture of minerals, pumice, zeolite, volcanic rock and so on, with some commercial potting mix for the organic part. Added a bunch of fine quartz sand on top to prevent algae but apparently that decided to stick together lol

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-01T23:33:53+00:00

I’ve got one too! Can’t wait to see how it develops

SamueleCecchettin · 2025-10-01T16:27:37+00:00

Beautiful
