I got jacked by a bunch of ants!
    #14217007 - 03/31/11 08:07 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

well it happened today. i went to check on my one remaining pod of Turbinicarpus valdezianus X pseuopectinatus and there were ants all up in the pod. look.



u can see them ants inside. they beat me to the seeds. the weird part is that the other one was open and assumed the pod opened and dispersed the seeds inside the pot.

WRONG!

the pod was really stuck on and closed in the morning. i had kept a close eye all week because of the other that also got jacked. \\

now i got to be on constant vigil with my strombo seed pods. theres 3 and i'm :paranoid: as fuck now.

who knows where those babies will pop up, if they pop up at all.

any suggestions or ideas as to how this can be avoided next time? Maybe some diatamaceous earth ground up spread about the pots?

i have no idea. i'm :sad:

bring them inside until you collect the seeds.

i got no room on my windowsil. i'll just have to beat the bastards to it next.

nature's pretty good at spreading her seed around. she'll utilize almost anything to do so.

anyone got anyidea as how long seeds take to mature?

Take a large saucer and fill with water. Get a brick, paving stone, whatever and place this in the middle of the filled saucer, you have now created an island. Place your fruiting cactus on top of the island. Ants wont cross water so they wont get to your seed. Problem solved.

I'd have suggested a circle of tape or glue, but your idea is pacifist so have to approve it :toast:
