My Heated Propagator

Much to the delight of my better half, I have a small heated propogator on the kitchen windowsill. I have different seeds in here at different times, at the moment it is full of Cactus seeds. I am currently propogating the following seeds: -

Ferocacus
Carnegia Gigantea Saguaro
Cereus
Oreocereus
Coryphantha
Melocactus
Rebutia
Haageocereus

Here is a picture with the lid on: -

My Fig Tree

Here is one of my favorite trees, A Fig Tree. This one is around 5 years old and has been kept in a pot in my greenhouse since it was very young. I would love to see how this would develop if it had the opportunity to spread it’s roots in the ground. I may move it to my parents house soon as I need the space in my greenhouse for other things and I don’t want to move in into our garden as it would be demolished by my sons football :)

Monkey Puzzle Seedlings

Last September I bought around 150 Monkey Puzzle seeds. These were pretty easy to germinate, all I did was:-

1 - soak them in water for 24 hours

2 - Planted them about 1 cm deep in John Innes number 2 soil in 7 cm pots

3 - watered them occasionally

Around 140 of them have germinated and are growing very happily, here are some pictures that were taken around 9 months after first putting them into soil: -
