Hi, new to this forum. I went to college many years ago for Horticulture, and majored in GreenHouse production. I've been hooked on gardening since I grew my first "bean in a Dixie cup" in kindergarden. I grew VFTs some 40 years ago when that was about all the CPs available to grow (ordered...

Yesterday and into the night we had a front go thru with winds in the 40 to 60mph range. It caused lots of minorish damage - traffic lights downed all or in part, I saw one grassfire, several areas had power interruptions. My peach Datura got pummelled. Around the back by the garage, I...

Happy New Years to everyone. I found this sight while seaching CP and terrariums. I've been interested in CP for some years now and have attempted a CP bog garden several years ago but failed due the drought in GA. Santa brough me a small H Potter terrarium so I started looking at keeping...

Hi, I got this plant at a trade show two years ago. It has done well, the caudex getting bigger, but the stem portion is smaller than last year. This season a seed pod was developing from spring flowers and yesterday it disappeared. I searched around and found two seeds. I think something...

Here is a cactus that my roommate got as a cutting. We like to call it the green been cactus, but does anyone know what it really is? I'm pretty sure it is a cactus and not a euphorb, but other than that I'm stumped

Hello everyone, Im a big cactus fan and have been growing cactus for about 30 yrs but only as a hobbiest. I do run into problems that I think I know but still would like some expert advise. I just purchased a rather large blue barrel cactus with about 10 pups. I had to plant it in a 20in pot...
