Big grin I have quite some seeds that I needed to plant and I wanted to make a small diary for them.
Also the seeds are not known so if I can get and ID that would be nice. Currently searching for a pic of the father cactus. It was definetly a Loph tho.

These are the parents. They are both the same cactus.

They look a lot like texana to me given the pink flowers and really hairy outside.

On the last picture, looks like a Mammilaria (Dolichothele) longimamma to the left and some Coryphantha sp. to the right?

Love the spirals on that big parent!

So you cross pollinated, presumably with a small paintbrush? My specimens were self-fertile, AFAIK. But, genetic diversity and all that Thumbs up.

They were pollinated by insects I think and are not actually mine. They grew up at a place down at the coast of the mediterranean. They were the only 2 lophs around to flower the others there didnt flower.

They are supposed to be the same exact species but I wasnt around when they flowered but I was able to collect all the seeds out of the brush on top.

From the person I also got a "seed trash" pot where there are tons of different seeds just thrown in because the collection was alread to big.

Have you started any of the mixed seeds yet? You could have some very interesting surprises!

Yeah, with germinating keep them in diffused sunlight, indirect sunlight, or even shade. Yeah burning them is incredibly easy until you harden them up weeks/months down the line. Even a cheap daylight cfl bulb[6500k] [15 or so cm away] can do the trick for germination lighting.

70s-80s [temp/fahrenheit] has been best in my experience, preferably 80s, even 90's if it's possible. Not sure what your temps are there during the warm season? Or even a heating pad underneath while having it indoors in a small-ish space that can hold heat can work.

Not sure on the ID though Very happy

Im curious to see how things go for you though. Good luck Cool

What substrate are you using there? Looks like crushed limestone and sand?

Nice to see those babies grow!

I see a few green ones and a few darker green/olive colored ones, all looks on course. Just keep an eye on those dark amberish ones [at least they look to be that color] Very happy

Pretty sure that's algae on the substrate, nothing to shake a stick at though. I had this on my substrate. Side effect of persistent moisture and being enclosed and whatnot. No harm no foul for the tiny lophos Big grin I found that once I started poking the first few holes in the plastic dome cover that this started dispersing the algae. [just started this over the past couple days].

Thought about a loph/peres graft possibly once these little guys get bigger or some other route for a few grafts.

The algae is dead. It was already on the substrate but still remains green after sterilizing.

They were all nearly red but are going well green now.
