Nice,

Those Eriosyce is massive I love South America's plants.

General: It looks like stocks under "steroids" haha. Do you fertilize these plants a lot, because it looks so, It's unbelievable how can plant flower after 1 year - I have one Ario retusus furfuraceus, 3 years grafted on Hylo, and still no flower.

Another question: why do you graft so many normal plant, which dont needs to be grafted - like mammilaria etc. ?

Hi ToKra, thanks.
1. Eriosyce can grow to a huge plant, so it's not a big deal. They are one of  my favourites. They are "SIMPLY THE BEST".
2. You ain't seen nothing yet.
3. No I do not fertilize alot.
4. Plants flower if you do the right things.
5. I had various Arios. that flowered in 6 months, so maybe you will believe NOW that Hylo and myself make miracles.
6. I graft ALL plants cos I pay good money and receive rubbish seeds.
7. EXPERIENCE tells me that I do the BEST thing.
8. When you live to my age, you will understand what I've just told you...ENJOY...
