HAVE: Cacti Seed

21 years ago

Greetings :)

I have a selection of Cacti seed that is surplus to my requirements which I purchased from the NZ Cacti Society about 10 years ago. We have just moved house again and I found them in a drawer my office.

I have much less space now so cannot even try to germinate them to see if they are still viable. I guess they will be, as they were kept room temperature and dry.

If anyone would like some to try, please send me an SSAE and I will enclose a few pkts for you. There are 100 seed in each pkt (so they say).

Regards

wow would cacti stay viable that long? i have tried twice to grow cacti from seed, the first time one survived to adulthood and the second I had more success after a few tips such as watering them only from the bottom by standing the pot in wet sand, this time two are struggling along lol do you have anything else to swap these days? I have mainly veges but I do currently have some yucca bulbs

Looking for Epiphytic cacti

Hi Nate, I think this is a very interesting project. Unfortunately I can't be of much help to you in the way of offering trades since all of my epis are very small still. However, I noticed that there are a couple of other posts in this forum right now that center around various epiphytic cacti. Maybe you could approach those folks directly? I'm also wondering if it would be worth asking around at local botanical gardens/nurseries, etc. to see if they might donate some cuttings for your exhibit. Especially since your aquarium is a non profit, they may be happy to unload some cuttings or specimens on you. Just a thought, hope it helps. Best, FF ps. I'll be excited to see photos later on when this is up and running, and even in the process of getting it there. Epis are some of my favorites:)
