Such a timely video, I recently became very interested in SP and the more I learned it became clear that buying a random plant was unlikely to be what I was looking for. Ordered some seeds and a germination kit from you, looking forward to growing them! Your work is important
hello! found this channel while i was looking for information about how to grow new peyote cacti from the buds of the mother. but i couldn't find any. could you enlighten me on this topic please, i am apparently helpless at this point :'c thank you in advance, and great video!
I ordered my seeds from sacred buttons earlier this year and after a week saw signs of life. After 6 weeks, i have 56 out of 75 seeds germinate which i am happy with. I come from a mushroom background and and pressure cooked my soil mix and obviously didn't use any fungicidal powders. I thought i was a genius when i plugged my seedling mat and temp controller into my light timer to get that temp drop lol Im using a 1000w aglex led light from amazon, has the uv an ir diodes. My research shows the dessert is a high uv index which is why i opted for this light. Once they are ready to go into pots i will add some supplemental uv lights from ac infinity. Have you done any experiments with uv light?
just found like 30 seeds in my old flowers...and here I am! very random question, in all the fluffy shiny hair fibers, at the base of them there is a strange green and yellow (phallic shaped thing) it is clearly not a flower and feels much larger...without removing all the hair fibers completely I cant tell wtf it is, any ideas?
Working as clean as possible lowers the chance of contamination. If all of these simple steps are taken it is very rare that you will get contamination.
@@SacredButtons @whatsupdog666 The germinating containers are sealed to hold in the warmth and humidity necessary for the seeds to germinate. Unfortunately, these same warm and humid conditions are ideal for the propagation of mold and bacteria. This is why it is strongly advisable to pasteurize your medium. Keep up the great work, @sacredbuttons
Hi Aaron, is there any chance of getting some growing advice on my Peyote? My plant is about 15 years old and originally came from a dying cutting. I have it in a small pot probably 1.5 liters or so and it is planted in commercial cactus mix. The problem is that it has stopped growing, it will flower now and then but it doesn't seem to want to grow.
You showed the boiling water method before. Is the oven better, or just another process that you want to teach? The boiling water method seems easier with less equipment, and my only worry is the tub will melt.
It may, but the seedlings will only be in this soil for a short while before being transplanted into fresh soil. It's more important at this stage to prevent contamination.
