I went to the library, and checked out the entire stock of cacti books (a grand total of 5 books, none after 1973). Only 2 books acknowledge baby toes and living stones (my two fav cacti of the moment). The germinating instructions were as follows: "not for amatuers as water and light requirements are too difficult, best if purchased as plants from mail order." Like that's gonna stop me from trying, HA!
I know I should just go look but with 2 kids, I hate looking for things at stores. Can you tell me where grit (smashed stones, I'm assuming) is sold at? Or should I just start going at the rocks in the driveway with a hammer? lol My hubby would really think I've gone nuts.
Thanks so much for the links Margaret. I think you are my hero.
Is there a cactus/succulent that you can't grow or don't know about? I doubt it! You're baby toes look beautiful, I'm can't wait to get mine going!
