Trying not to buy any more NOIDs ... the price is right but am not confident about buying on ebay. Call me a relic of the olden days. Now if Amazon has them, I am there>>>>>>>>think I will go look >>>>

just check feedback on ebay before you buy. Actually read through some of it. If they are consistently getting positive feedback on plant sales, you are pretty safe. If they have 98% feedback or lower, I'd avoid them though.......personally.
I don't know about e-bay. When I check out the Rhipsalis that are sold there, I see many misnamed or incorrectly described plants. It makes me question what else is offered.
And see will not come true to the donor plant. Only offsets will be exactly like the parent.
But planting seeds is very exciting to watch grow into lovely semps. You just never know what might come out of the mix.
Here is one of my trays of seedlings I've been plucking out of my raised beds. The rain really made them take off growing.
You can buy seeds from T&M. I bought some this spring and recently threw them out when cleaning up since I decided that if I grow any from seed, I want to be more choosy about the seeds and grow them from known crosses. I'm really trying hard to resist the urge to hybridize.
[...valleylynn, yours are looking really great, they're really cute and Keyi, yours look bigger today, not long to wait, and you'll have some true leaves! Is hybridising them difficult? Would this need to be done when they are in flower?]
[...very passionate about Biology and Art. One day I would like to breed award winning hybrids.]
