Cooler than average temperatures have helped my cacti this year. The white powder on the top of some is diatomaceous earth for to thwart little nibbling critters. Here's a few pics:
Pic 1 is, left to right a pot of Lumberjack, a pot with a Crested Monstrosa Pachanoi (along with some Domino cacti and a small Mammilaria), and to the right in the foreground is some type of hybrid Wakinyan sent me (I lost the label, just remember it ended in "ensis" )
Pic 2 is Peruvianus, Terscheckii, Scopulicola and one that was sold to me as "Scopulicola x Juuls Giant". That one is about 5 feet tall now...
just got 200 cactus seeds sown lol. started germinating 2 days ago, bridgessi and peruvianus walluac
hope i did it right, just filled 2 circle trays with about a quarter inch of peat, the peat was bone dry. using a standard water bottle, i poked holes in the top of water bottle and lightly wetted the peat in the 2 containers. i then put 100 seeds of bridge in one, and 100 of peruvianus in the other. sprinkled abit more water on top, making sure not to saturate it, then sealed with saran wrap with a label and stuck in my tent with light that gets 78-84.
i find it very interesting cactus seeds need light to germinate
