This is one of 3 Astrophytum senil v aureum seedlings that are 2 years old now. They should start putting out spines soon - I think... They were started from Mesa Garden seeds number 70.03.

posted by Stan at 7:50 PM Sunday, April 27, 2008 Astrophytum asterias superkabuto  These Astrophytums and a really great hybrid and grow into some of the most beautiful cactus plants. This one is one of 3 plants started from seed 2 years ago and the seeds were from Mesa Garden under the number 48 Astrophytum asterias superkabuto. This is a plant that should never be placed outdoors in a state like Wisconsin because they will usually die from fungal attacks. They will grow well in a sunny window, but it is very risky to put outdoors in a wet climate.

This one is also from Mesa Garden seeds, but the number is Astrophytum asterias 47.05 and is a beautiful plant too
posted by Stan at 2:34 PM Thursday, April 24, 2008 Astrophytum asterias  These Astrophytum asterias seedling is 2 years old now. This one actually survived a summer outdoors in Wisconsin last year, but is now sitting on a window sill. I'm unsure if this species would continue to survive being outdoors in the growing season and am thinking about keeping it under artificial light. The seeds for this plant and 2 other companions are from Mesa Garden and the number was 47.2 on their website.
posted by Stan at 5:46 PM Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Ariocarpus fissuratus  These Ariocarpus fissuratus seedlings are about four months old and growing very well. They are under sodium and halogen bulbs and I plan to keep them indoors for the first two years. When they are larger and older I will put them outdoors in the summer for some real Wisconsin sun light.

posted by Stan at 7:39 PM Saturday, April 19, 2008 Strombocactus disciformis 3 months  These seedlings are three months old and they are so small it is hard to believe they are cactus plants. They look like small specks of green in the sand.
posted by Stan at 8:55 PM Friday, April 18, 2008 Thelocactus bicolor  This Thelocactus bicolor seedling is starting to look like an adult plant in a kind of lumpy bumpy way. This plant is a year old and is growing in a plastic pot with too many other seedlings to count.
