Looking to trade miracle berry seedlings for a young Yuzu sapling. Potentially other citrus.
(For anyone knowing me from Peniocereus, dw, first shipment is this month, slightly behind because I'm only doing 1tray at once rather than too. But still clearing 1300 seedlings this month)
Reallt difficult to get in the UK. I never knew it smelled so good! Very reminiscent of ginger.
Looking to put some geckos in my new tropical plant enclosure but very weary of how feasible egg removal will be, does anyone else with large enclosures have suggestions?
People seem to have had issues with this online. thought l'd give my two cents!
Eat the berry, spit out the seed.
Let sit overnight in water (Probably unneeded, but used sparkling for the lower pH)
Scrub with some tissue paper to remove any residual flesh and pat dry.
Layer in dry sphagnum moss inside a small container.
Add white vinegar to distilled water until you have a solution of approximately pH5.
Add this pH5 water to the container until the moss is soaked then drain off the excess
Leave the container lid ajar, add more water if it seems to dry out.
Wait about 3 weeks for the radicals to emerge.
I've then repotted in a mix of moss, perlite and leaf litter for further growth
​
You can have as many as you want. Postage cost is £2.85 within the UK. £4.50 worldwide.
I can probably fit a couple hundred in each standard box but if you want more than that postage may be higher.
Minimum one dozen seedlings. No maximum. I will prioritise larger orders because it is easier.
1000+ seedlings up for giveaway every ~2months for the next year, all seedlings given will thus be 2 months old, slightly older than the ones pictured, which are still a week away from that.

Pic2 is an unknown but large number of Bulbophyllum pleurothallidanthum. and I lack a picture of the 40 scuticaria I also got.
Not all of these are mine, but they're just being deflasked from a group buy!
I have been struggling with germination rate for a few weeks, but it seems after a few more I've got some babies!
Very low germination rate for me, about 10% in this tub, but zero in all my others. No idea why.
Obviously a bunch of fully variagated plants (bright pink) that could be grafted, but also my favourite at the moment is a dwarf and a three-ribbed seedling.
Algae is ever present but I don't care, it doesn't cause me issues.
Only another 14000 left to sow!
Cap was maybe 3mm diameter. Alone, growing in pine litter.
Some kinda of mycena?
Ludicrously hard to get it seems online. Hmu if you have other cool tropicals.
Really want one, cannot justify buying a whole flask for myself Can provide full reciepts for all costs involved and won't ask for any margin.
DM if you have any.
Getting some flasks done and will have plants available eventually or flasks of 12 or so plants sooner. If you plan on, or have interest in getting one please DM me for details so i know roughly how many flasks to get done.
Terrestrials so might be upwards of a year before unflasked plants are ready but I need to know roughly how many in advance.
Got a couple hundred seeds arriving in a week or so and wondering if anyone has experience growing them and hence advice to give. Planning to start them in propagator then inside, then outside, then back inside before first frost. (Northern England)
Going with more of an aroid mix for the soil.
I've seen pinks before, apparently thats how young variagation looks, but never this vibrant, and usually with white spots which I don't see on this one!
Do you think this needs grafting? I'm hoping to keep it on it's own roots but if not, oh well.
I planted 560 Peniocereus Greggii seeds in this tray (the first of many trays). They were harvested in 2024. Guess how many you think will germinate within 10 days and will send the closest guess 100 seeds from the same batch free of charge.
This post is also in r/Cacti, you must be the closest between the two posts.

Peniocereus Greggii :))). Though on an honest note I intend only to keep maybe 15 of the best specimens. I'm hunting for a Montrose.
Posted my first orchid here a little while back, arrived rotting and even had one kind redditor advice me to "not get my hopes up". But since cutting out the rot it's been pushing lots of new growth!
Just mounted it to it's permanent spot today, I'm hoping to new roots get it to start clinging.
(Scheonorchis Fragrans)
My Lepanthes isn't doing too hot in the heat, but seems to have acclimated now and is stable, but this fella has absolutely loved the heat and I've seen quite the increase in growth.
