Very nice. I once went to a talk at my local branch of the BCSS on Hoyas. There are some really impressive species if you can get them.
Does anyone know of a similar book series? I am reading the last GOT, and was thinking of what to read next?
Is it a perenial? Will it survive if over-wintered indoors??
That's really cheap. Of the 2 I had, only 1 made it through the winter in my garage. And the survivor is really struggling. I think I will have...
Was quite descriptive in the book too
Zigs - I think you may need to see a dr :lunapic 130165696578242 5:
I'm loving this heat. Waking up in the morning, sun shining, nice and warm. Lifts my spirits. Seems that people in general love complaining....
Looks great :blue thumb:

What have you been told? There is more than one way of growing C & S. I guess this method works well for me though.
I love G o T. And must say, that it is quite close to the books too. I like the fact that anyone and everyone gets bumped off at some time. And...
I drink far too much coffee. Courtesy of a Nespresso machine that was given to me by my in-laws for my 40th last year :old:
Once the seedlings start producing a proper body and spines (ie are no longer just that green blob) you can start exposing them to the air. I...
Mine aren't looking good. In a way, I think my greenhouse is too hot! Not complaining in any way :SUNsmile: But some of my plants in the...
My hose reel leaks too. I have tried to replace various bits and connections, but it doesn't seem to have helped. :scratch:
Yup, cactus and succulent seeds does germinate quickly. I suppose in the wild, if there is a short wet period, they have to take advantage.
Coolsox, I germinated a Lotus last year. It did quite well until winter. It went dormant and didn't come up again. Not sure why as it was indoors,...
Yup, Seedlings do need shade until they get to a cm or two.
They will grow quite quickly if they are in a decent soil. And while they are growing, don't be shy to water......as long as they are in a well...
Coolsox, Very nice. How are you going to get them over the winter?
