update folks!!!

more pics:thumbup:

first one is my entire garden as of right now. i re-potted everything, seperated my myrtle and my pedro into their own pots!

the second pic is my 6 lophophora willamsii seeds finally in their bed!





tomorrow i will pick up some grit to place over the top of the peyote. the white sticks are marking their locations. about how long do i wait now(on average) before they sprout?

and should i bother ordering some pereskiopsis cuttings for grafting, or do i have a good enough selection going so far?

one last Question. all these cacti are outdoors in s.w. Florida, which means right now they get a light rain EVERY day, sometimes a heavy one. my pots have great drainage also. today the high was 84 degrees, so all around its perfect weather for growing...but im new to cacti!...anyway, will this weather be ok for the cacti i have going, and more importantly for my grafts. bringing big ass cactus inside, is not an option for winter(which last year we only had one day that went below freezing. will they all make it?

wait till they sprout before u add grit to the top of the pot...
or they may not sprout at all...
1-2 weeks is a usual kind of time frame for cactus seeds to germinate...
the soil should be saturated to start also.

all your cacti will go into dormancy when the temps are consistantly below 50f...
at that time make sure the soil is dry or the roots will rot...
if your expecting freezing temps u will have to bring them inside im afraid... they would probably be ok for a very short time if the soil is completely dry, but i wouldnt risk it if i were u!

carrying a few pots inside is is better then all your cacti turning to mush.
the pedros are probably the most cold hardy of the lot.
certainly loph seedlings will not survive, u should probably keep those inside all winter.

ok, well then ill make sure i graft the loph's to something small enough that i can bring the pots inside and put them under a flouro.

i have a screened in lanai, and im actually askin santa claus for a 9'x 9' portable greenhouse, and hopefully it keeps them sheltered so they wont get soggy, cold rain in the winter, and i will cut their watering down to almost nothing. our winter goes by fast!

my morning glories are starting to sprout, are they winter resiliant?
im planting them along my chain link fence, they will climb this like a vine and be ok correct?

dont worry about morning glories.. ever...

..if you're looking for lsa and you live in that kind of enviornment, why dont you grow hawiian baby woodrose? get an oil drum and let them go to town. they have way more lsa per seed than MGs..

yeah, i had 50 HBWR, i ate 40 and gave away the rest for some Lophophora seeds, i wish i still had them tho! are they a vine like morning glories, or are they more like a tree or shrub?

what do you mean oil drum?

a greenhouse should provide enough protection for your cacti over your short winter...
at least it will keep them dry and frost free (if u get any frost)
the way the climate is these days u should prepare for any extreme weather i guess...
never know wot mother nature will throw at us these days...

btw: how is a 9 foot square greenhouse ever portable? :lol:

More like a tree, I've seen pics of ones up to 7' tall, so you'd need more room.

And an oil drum is a large metal cylinder they ship oil in.. An empty one of those is enough room for the roots.

seed and it is an aquatic plant like a Water Lilly.
55 gallon drums of water with sand at the bottom are great for growing them and Florida stays warm enough long enough.
I am gonna try some indoors in big buckets of some sort.

well if you didnt let it dry

(which it can dry anywhere so i dont know why you say you dont have anyplace to dry it)

then it will rot, if you water your pedro then it wiill rot because it has no roots and can not be in moist/wet soil until it does.

well its always humid outside, and its cold inside, so i assumed it wouldnt dry in either location. the cut was dried up, but not scabbed over really. and im not watering my pedros right now, the 3 minute sprinkle i get everyday is all the water its getting, just enough to moisten the top of the soil.
