Well I took the plunge and joined the terrarium crowd and succulents. Got 3 decent starters for $2 in a badly broken ceramic "cutesy" container. Had the rest of the stuff lying around. I'll start taking cuttings when they get a bit healthier.

Sorry about the calci-sand. My wild reindeer lichens are under regrowth efforts. So my poor dye job for now.

Does anyone have a home grown "Prickly Pear", Nopal cactus they would be willing to share a pad for my son's propagation? I'll pay for it. Can't source locally without the yuppie nursery price.

Although I was wondering if I could just buy a few pads at the Mercado? Would they be viable? Really cheap if possible. Out of my experience. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. TY.

A full pad with only the spines removed, but the skin still on should work.

@Leeski I had to dig my Buddas up. Tank is balanced now. LOL.

And @getogrow here is an overdue update. My dendrobiums got toasted on my heat mat. Wife plugged it in for me thinking the cat unplugged it. One is now throwing shoots prolifically. Thinks it is dying. LOL. Other went to dormancy on me. My vanda? Well the intense heat and dry wind elephant skinned a lot of it. In my bathroom sucking humidity and dealing with a bacterial I thought I removed. I'll get a pic of it soon. Got good roots going again. But ashamed. 001.jpg002.jpg003.jpg

Next time , leave them laying on top of the moist soil and you can see which ones root an move them to another pot or 50. Also you can take note on which ones root fast ect... (i only do it to seperate them)
