Anacampseros species seeds

Eriosyce Mixed Species Seeds Eriosyce is a group of mostly globose or somewhat cylindrical South American species. They have round ribbed stems, which in most species are heavily armed with dense strong spines. Their flowers are similar in structure to those of the genus Echinocactus. Plants in the genus Eriosyce are rugged survivors of arid South American deserts. Many occur at high altitudes where they endure big temperature swings and high UV. To deal with the harsh climate, the plants will sit dormant until conditions are again favorable. On offer here are Premium Eriosyce Mixed Species Seeds. Some of the species in the Mix include Eriosyce aerocarpa, Eriosyce andreaeana, Eriosyce bulbocalyx, Eriosyce crispa, Eriosyce curvispina, Eriosyce esmeraldana, Eriosyce kunzei, Eriosyce laui, Eriosyce limariensis, Eriosyce marksiana, Eriosyce megliolii, Eriosyce napina, Eriosyce occulta, Eriosyce odieri, Eriosyce strausiana, Eriosyce subgibbosa, Eriosyce taltalensis and Eriosyce vertongenii.  

Stomatium species Seeds The genus Stomatium is placed in the Mesembryanthemaceae family. Members of this family are commonly referred to as Mesembs and are succulents. The genus name was derived from the Greek word stomation which means open mouth, in reference to the toothed leaf pairs which resemble gaping mouths. The novice succulent admirer will at first be easily confused between Stomatium and Faucaria, yet there are a few distinguishing features to tell them apart. Stomatium flowers are scented and give off a sweet sugary smell whereas Faucaria flowers are unscented. The leaf surfaces of Stomatium species are minutely pimpled, unlike those of species of Faucaria, which are either perfectly smooth, rarely warty or ribbed as is the case with Faucaria tuberculosa. Stomatium species form compact plants. They have unusual tongue-shaped leaf surfaces with toothed margins.  The pear-scented yellow flowers are a lovely bonus. On offer is a pack of 10 Seeds We'll supply you with all the germination & care instructions.

Seeds and All offer you a Premium Cactus Mix, selected from a large variety of species. The seeds are easy to germinate and growing them requires very little effort. Most make excellent potted plants, do very well in raised beds and rockeries and make fascinating landscaping features. They require well-drained sandy to gravel soil to perform at their best.  Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Some grow to great size. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night-blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range from small and round to pole-like and tall, such as the Saguaro.           Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants which have adapted to extreme arid environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have expanded into green succulent structures containing the clorophyll necessary for life and growth, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are so well known. Cacti are believed to have evolved in the last 30 to 40 million years. Long ago, the Americas were joined to the other continents, but separated due to continental drift. Unique species in the New World must have developed after the continents had moved apart. Significant distance between the continents was only achieved in around the last 50 million years. This may explain why cacti are so rare in Africa; the continents had already separated when cacti evolved. Many succulent plants in both the Old and New World bear a striking resemblance to cacti, and are often called "cactus" in common usage. This is, however, due to parallel evolution; none of these are closely related to the Cactaceae.

Mammillaria is arguably the most popular cactus genus in cultivation. Mammillarias have extremely variable spination from species to species, and eye-catching flowers, making them specifically attractive for cactus hobbyists. Most Mammillaria plants are considered easy to cultivate. The genus Mammillaria is one of the largest in the Cactaceae family, with currently over 200 known species and varieties recognized. Mammillarias are native to Mexico, southwest USA, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The first was described by Carolus Linnaeus as Cactus mammillaris in 1753, deriving its name from Latin mammilla, "nipple", referring to the tubercles that are one of the plant's specific features. In 1812, the cactus specialist Adrian Haworth described the genus Mammillaria to contain this and related species. Numerous species are commonly known as nipple cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion though such terms may also be used for related taxs Escobaria. Mammillaria species can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda or windowsill. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. The variation in spines is a novel selling feature and often, these plants fit the stereotypical expectations that most people have for a cactus plant, although some species are only going to be found among highly-dedicated cactus growers. The popularity of this genus has led to a good deal of study and consequent literature on both growing and identifying Mammillaria species.

Parodia is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi who lived from 1895 to 1966. Flowers in all species arise from fuzzy buds, typically with bristles, at the apex. Flowers are cup-shaped and point straight up. They are easy to grow, have intriguing stems and spines and flower easily with brightly-coloured flowers. This fact in combination with their relatively small size, ensure that nearly all cactus growers will have some representative of this group. While advanced hobbyists may grow many of the various species and subspecies.           The genus has about 50 species, many of which have been transferred from Eriocactus, Notocactus and Wigginsia. They are native to the uplands of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay and range from small globose plants to 1 meter tall columnar cacti. All are deeply ribbed and spiny, with single flowers at or near the crown. Some species produce offsets at the base and most are free flowering, with stunning blooms throughout the year. These cacti are perfect for rockeries, where they will give your garden splashes of colour or as pot plants on a sunny windowsill. Either way you are assured of many years of joy. This Parodia Mixed Species pack consists of around 30 different Parodia species. Flower colours range from yellow to orange and red to purple. A wide variety of spination and growth forms are present in this pack. They need regular water in summer but keep it rather dry in winter as it tends to lose its roots in winter if kept wet and cold. It can tolerate light frost at -1°C and if kept dry at -9°C. Easy from seed, they make a stunning addition to any cactus collection, being equally attractive in or out of flower. These are small globular species, many with hooked spines and tubercles rather than ribs. They are slow growing, but flower whilst still quite small.  

Gasteria is a genus of 23 species of succulent plants indigenous to South Africa with all except one being endemic to South Africa. Closely related genera include Aloe, Astroloba and Haworthia. The genus name Gasteria is named for its stomach-shaped flowers. In Greek, gaster, means belly, and alludes to the swollen base of the flower. The genus is part of the family Asphodeloideae. Common names include cow-tongue cactus, lawyer's tongue, mother-in-law's tongue and ox-tongue. Gasteria species are grown in well-drained, sandy soils in light shade. Gasteria species thrive in cultivation both indoors and outdoors, used as potted plants or in outdoor rockeries and are tolerant of a wide range of soils and habitats. The flowers attract birds to the garden during spring. Germination usually occurs within 8 days but may take as long as one month depending on the species. With their ability to grow under lower light conditions they are easily grown and maintained in cultivation. Gasterias are used in various traditional medicines. In the Eastern Cape Gasteria excelsa and Gasteria croucheri are occasionally put on the roofs of homes to stop lightning from striking the house. There are also reports that the plants are used during faction fighting in a belief that it will make them invisible to their enemies.
