Hi everyone. I've recently started cultivating cactus, and this seems like a good community in which to share knowledge about that. I have a pretty good crop of 6 week old seeds sprouting (SS02 x SS01, [SS01 x Peruvianus] xJuul's, Bridgesii), as well as some cuttings (including a Bridgesii KGC and a Lumberjack). All those are going well, but some seedlings I ordered and planted about two weeks ago are doing terribly... They seem to be rotting from the bottom up, and eventually just collapsing in on themselves (sometimes leaving a ball of white fuzz behind).
A well respected member (DG) on another forum stated in response to a similar inquiry that when it's rotting from the bottom up you should say a prayer and dig a grave... Anyone here have something to suggest?
I had some pereskiopsis kicking around, so I cut the seemingly healthy tip off of one of the worst ones still alive and I'm attempting a graft to save it. This is my first graft attempt, and I don't have high hopes, but it's better to go down swinging I guess... I hope that after a few battles I'll learn enough to help someone else along the same path.
That's about it I guess. Glad to be a part of the community.
