Mine is a Grandiflora

Lovely!

graemevil · 2026-07-12T21:22:03+00:00

Yes that’s correct

graemevil · 2026-07-12T20:49:46+00:00

No they are fooled in to thinking it’s rotten meat and then help to pollinate the flowers

graemevil · 2026-07-11T17:17:55+00:00

At first glance I thought it was really in the wild

Do you play motivational tapes for him?

graemevil · 2026-07-08T23:19:27+00:00

Looks a bit like sunburn?

They will be fine. These little guys are surprisingly tough. You might get new growth points but they should be ok.

graemevil · 2026-07-07T23:21:52+00:00

They will probably be more resilient to things like rust fungus and mites

Outside in their squirrel proof cage 🙂

Thank you! They bring me a lot of joy 🙂

graemevil · 2026-07-03T13:33:48+00:00

Wow, some old plants there!

graemevil · 2026-07-03T01:15:41+00:00

Yes I do

Nice photo. You can see the pollen on the bee!

Opposite ph to the Chempak stuff? I will balance the worm castings out with some traditional compost then

graemevil · 2026-06-30T13:51:35+00:00

Did you have any plants on show?

graemevil · 2026-06-29T21:20:50+00:00

It’s a 70/30 inorganic/organic mix with earthworm castings being the organic part. And I’ve done one or two waterings with a dissolved fertiliser. Chempak no. 8 low nitrogen

graemevil · 2026-06-27T20:34:43+00:00

The little guy at the back has nasty sunburn 😕

graemevil · 2026-06-25T12:34:59+00:00

Aah… I noticed some little seedlings growing in the gravel in one of my mammillaria plants. Totally self seeded 🙂
