Hello Mathias, I got a pretty decent germination of Pedio/Sclero/Toumea using stratification method. I put seeds in refrigerator overnight (at about +5 to 7C)...
Hello Yuri thanx for that hint . I try this method in combination with hochtstaetters approach. All methods seems to consider that temperatur difference...
Hello Mathias, I keep my seeds dry during stratification. The day/night temperature variation is an important factor for any cactus seed, not just Sclerocacti....
Well, if you could see a nematode, you'd have impressive eyesight. You have sciara fly larva. I get rid of them with either Neem oil (Green Light calls theirs...
... Defense), rotenone\pyrethrins or sevin. ... Darrell: Thank you so much. I was just at the store & they have a rotenone/pyrethrin mix. I'll be back there ...
Gene, Let us know how it goes. As for microscopes, they always seemed to make my eyesight worse. I don't miss my days in those botany labs... Darrell Darrell: ...
The Sciara fly larvae have been my number 1 enemy: what seems like gungal infections, are often the work of the larvaes, with fungus attacking the "leftovers"...
Bjorn, I have used Rotenone\pyrethrins and Neem as well as Sevin to great effect. (Read: total eradication)when used properly. Believe me you, I have had these...
Gene, My 2 cents: try to eliminate the root cause, not the effect. In the future, use only sterilized soil for your seedlings. Prior to sowing, dampen the...
That is potentially a great approach. but one thing that can be said about sciara fly that is true in my experience is that even with sterilized soil, you can...
Darrell, Forgot to mention that I cover my seedlings, so there is no way sciara can get in. The baggy approach will work as well. I agree though that nothing...

... there's another possibility Gene. ... Sorry to hear that. BT has been a saviour for me. I definately will not use Pyrethrin on young seedlings and certain...
Suppose I've been lucky in some ways, not in others. I've never suffered any damage from pyrethrins. Are you sure it's was pyrethrins, and not the sybthetic...

Scott, a couple of things. First, elimination through use of safer\insecticidal soap should work just fine. Neem oil is also effective. As for control, first...
