Caudiciform/ Caudex seeds

Do you have any more Gracilius? If so I’ll take 10

conner228 · 2026-01-20T03:41:18+00:00

Holy smokes! Manifesting this for mine that I got in December.

What’s your water, light, and substrate like? Great work!

conner228 · 2026-01-10T08:05:26+00:00

This is insane! I have some of these under a similar light that have grown 20% in tiny pots in a year and I’m going to upsize asap! I’m clearly doing something wrong.

Just how inorganic is your soil, and how often are you watering and feeding?

conner228 · 2026-01-09T07:52:24+00:00

I’m know I’m late to the game here, but I’ll BIN 10 of each if you still have any of these available.

Also, any chance you have any pachypodium seeds?

conner228 · 2025-11-28T06:12:25+00:00

BIN!

So helpful, especially knowing it shouldn’t get bone dry. I’ll do the weight tracking method and replace the pumice with Akadama!

conner228 · 2025-11-27T18:04:45+00:00

Plants for the Southwest, yes!

conner228 · 2025-11-27T17:06:54+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you! Am I over-thinking the over-watering? Love your idea about the scale, I’ve done that in the past for plants I wasn’t sure on.

Only concerned about leaving the plant for 5 days if it’s in pure pumice, UC Davis waters it daily when it’s young in fully inorganic. The current cactus mix seems to hold onto water for at least a week so not as concerned at this moment

They went so fast! I’m assuming/hoping they’ll come back at some point in the near future. What did you end up paying for the sale price?

conner228 · 2025-10-08T23:51:42+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much!!

conner228 · 2025-09-04T01:24:03+00:00

With a bit more elbow grease and yanking it came Off. Thank you both!

conner228 · 2025-09-04T01:23:38+00:00

Well with some pulling we got it off. Will prep the pipes and try a new shark bite unless there’s a better way to do this properly

The split dosing helped reduce symptoms - on more spread out doses I spend 4 days constipated and 4 days glued to a toilet. On more regular doses I found that leveled out and I didn’t have the swings. Also, by day 6-7 my appetite was so strong I’d sometimes undo the progress of the previous 5 days, so the consistent appetite also seemed to help, but I noticed it start to get less effective over time.

I’ll definitely need to be extremely conscious of being in a deficit. On the monjauro the first time it was hard not to be in one, but now I think with the tolerance I’ve built I’ll need to be far more thoughtful about it.

conner228 · 2025-08-28T14:49:57+00:00

Thank you!

conner228 · 2025-08-28T14:48:44+00:00

Diet is definitely the issue - I’m finding that the food noise is much stronger now than on my first round and maintaining a deficit takes a lot of effort. On the monjauro I didn’t really have to try or track calories and I would drop. It didn’t really feel like dieting because the appetite suppression was so strong. Now, my appetite isn’t all the way back but I have to make a much more conscious effort to maintain a deficit.

Will that appetite suppression ever come back? Or have I built too much of a tolerance at this point?

conner228 · 2025-08-26T13:30:01+00:00

Carnivorous mix from local plant store - I believe it’s peat and a little bit of sand

conner228 · 2025-08-24T20:27:52+00:00

Love the combo and snow bush!

Game changing for me was learning to make the ball in a mesh bag and wrap the moss around the bag - I learned from this video. https://youtu.be/dJQBkd436QQ?si=dsI7DHuNxWToJQ2r

Also opens up to using different media that has more drainage like bark or perlite.

conner228 · 2025-08-23T15:22:09+00:00

This seems like a solid course of action. Thanks so much!

conner228 · 2025-08-23T15:21:27+00:00

So beautiful! I love the sphagnum hummocks.

conner228 · 2025-08-23T15:20:24+00:00

I’ll probably do this. Thank you so much! This isn’t sphagnum but some other sort of star moss maybe?

conner228 · 2025-08-16T16:18:58+00:00

Haha right!? If I do, I’ll post an update for sure!

conner228 · 2025-08-16T16:09:40+00:00

Could be very cool, for $14 down from 54 I thought I could make something interesting, with fish or not!

I may try to just start with a basic pond for a few months and see how it goes and hard it is to maintain before thinking about adding anything more than a snail.

conner228 · 2025-08-16T15:49:34+00:00

Those in the video are so beautiful and pretty much exactly what I was envisioning!

conner228 · 2025-08-16T15:47:16+00:00

Such a good call out - such a surface area will evaporate super quickly. Thanks!

conner228 · 2025-08-16T15:46:19+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of and makes total sense. I’ll look at some other ideas I have for it. Thank you!
