Seedling update - Astros and Frailea

Posted by Stuart under: Cacti; Propagation .

Astrophytum myriostigma seedlings 2008 01 27Nearly six weeks after sowing, my pot of Astrophytum myriostigma is showing encouraging progress.

All the plants are now starting to look like miniature versions of the adults now, and they’re not all that tiny any more - the largest is easily 3/8″ in width.

For those of you who prefer metric measurements - sorry, I don’t…

Frailea angelesiae seedlings 2008-01-27Also doing well are the Frailea angelesiae seedlings.

Those that didn’t damp off in the initial wave of casualties are gorwing very rapidly indeed. This little chap is the most advanced.
