Newly potted Zygo-cactus

[patticake]

I potted the 3 that I have left into a new home. The other growing spot I had used since early November. It was a choice between moving them too soon, and leaving them in a medium that was getting old. We'll see how it goes. The front plant is the one that "took off"- The 2 tiny green spots in the back, are the other 2 that are alive.- I love these little guys...

good progress!

Thanks! It's been a long journey with these little guys. Now watch them have a n ugly blossom! I wouldn't care.. I'm just happy that they made it!

LoL Oh Patti that's harsh. Give 'em a chance now, LoL.

That's great growing! It never even crossed my mind to pollinate the blooms to get more. I always get cuttings from a zygo-cactus.

The new Zygo-cactus is doing well!! The other 2 aren't doing much yet, but they're still alive!! 3+ years ago this started!!! The new growth has started.(x 2) It's starting to look like it's supposed to!! Yeee-ha!
I am happy to share this with all of you... There is no site for Zygo-cactus...Any info on them says it can't be done... HMMMM!

Patti, how big are the seeds from these?

[patticake]

The seeds are VERY tiny. I would say about 4 would fit on the head of a pin. The thing that took the longest, was the seed pod to form and ripen. (2 years!)
I have some new pods started from this past winter. 2 more years to wait...
