Very nice work Daniele, I'm impressed!
Where do you buy the aluminium foil, and does it have a special name?

Hello Dan and thanks! Actually it is not an aluminium foil, I bought it in a stationery shop.
But it could be used an aluminium foil as well!

Thanks for the info. I have used thin aluminum foil for food so far, but it is not very resistant, and difficult to attach permanently.
I will try to find some mylar, thanks for the tip!

Thanks fanec, I didn't know the name!
Actually with aluminium you can have a bit more heating but it's true it's not so resistant.

Wow, I'm very impressed with your work!
It looks like the selenicereus give a very fast and healthy growth for astrophytum seedlings.
Keep us updated (:

Post by: Onzuka on Friday, 12 April 2013 - 14:08:46
the two taller ones in the front right hand corner appear to be cylindrical.

ah no, they are selenicereus, two different clones
