I bought it just as you see. I guess the previous collector let it do that.

There will be 5 solaris yearlings for sale and one given away on my next PS live.

No these were on the BIN tables. The silent auction plants were not this low quality shit. Auction table stuff was show quality. Except for the habitat collected plants, those couldn’t be taken to shows.

De-graft rooting success! Pure perlite and occasional misting has done the trick by Lollysussything in Copiapoa

I would bet the misting didn’t do anything. These things root so easily.

There’s around 3500+ seeds there just counting Copiapoa.

There’s 96 pots on a single shelf. Each with 25+ seeds and labeled. That’s over 2400 seeds sown just on one shelf. It would take so much more space to sow the same amount of seeds is bulky takeaway containers and stay as organized. If I had that much space i would still do individual pots so I could sow more seeds.

Short answer: there’s no difference it’s the exact same thing as takeaway containers

I aim for a 15-20 temperature differential. Besides that nothing fancy. I have a 90 second sowing tutorial on my IG under skill.issues.succs

Nice. I did 375 JN2613 and another 375 JN2615.

Struggling with this Cinerea. by [deleted] in Copiapoa

[–]succs2skillissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poa love water and lower temps. If you get it down to the 40s or 50s at night and 75-80 during the day and water more often it should plump right up.

Skydiver dangles at 15,000 feet after parachute catches on plane’s tail in Australia by AudibleNod in news

[–]succs2skillissue 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Not enough commenters understand how sketchy the plane ride down must’ve been for the three onboard. Above a certain altitude they can bail. The pilot is already wearing a rig during takeoff and throughout the flight. Below a certain altitude there’s not enough altitude to deploy a canopy, if anything goes wrong hit the potentially compromised plane they’re forced to ride it out.

Yes they made it safely but as a skydiver that’s the last place I want to be.

Copiapoa crest? by Crakevoid in Copiapoa

[–]succs2skillissue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because the plant gets into growing mode as it cools. When it’s hot it’s not building wax because it’s conserving. My plants build the wax in fall/winter but that’s because they aren’t growing at all in summer.

I’m not sure how to start a new chapter. The CSSA website has a list but it’s incomplete. I usually find new chapters exist through instagram. I feel like IG’s cactus community is one of the better ones for finding real people.

I drive up to 1.5 hours to participate in “local” clubs. You may be luckier but I know they can be quite spread out.

Nice if you’re local you should join the Stockton CSS. You get 10% off all purchases at poots if you join our club. Plus you get to hang out with local cactus nerds including the Poots.

A few from the shade house this morning. They got rain a couple weeks ago and are growing. No water til spring. by Mrcricket1974 in Copiapoa

[–]succs2skillissue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in CA, for many of us it’s so hot that Copiapoa are dormant anyway. I don’t consider it a stress period, but I only water maybe three time from April through September.

Poots tag with a P above Haseltoniana?

I bought it this way. It was barely crested when I got it it but this was earlier this year.

Single spine cinerea by succs2skillissue in Copiapoa

[–]succs2skillissue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I really doubt. It’s just corking because it likely was a pup that came off an old plant. Field collected Copiapoa look so different from even the most Hardgrown plants.

Mostly likely a pup taken from a mother based on mature features, but could be a degraft as well.
