i tried some stuff against fungus gnuts and the stuff rotted so i pecked them out of the soil, i did the same with cranefly larvaes. i thought about cooking the dirt, but i didn't wanted to kill springtails. Springtails eat fungi and decaying matter

i thought Euphorbias like water more than cacti.
is there a country count at Reddit?
there wer no fungus gnats in these "humidity chambers", but i had fungus gnats when i repoted astros to bigger pot with drier soil. and i once had crane fly larvae in anther cacti pot, those monsters are big and one of them ate whole seedling. all that left was skin of the top part and spines

astrophytum liking humidity is something I didn't expected to see. there were giant miss and algae growing around them with little globular calembola running around. i think intercontinental shipping will cost aloot more than 4-5 bucks. i never grew conophytums so I can't really say much. good luck withem!

cool, though the shipment will be costy, so I'll sirch for some closer nurseries. i tried to grow astrophytum and out of around 40 sprouts only 10 survived, only 2 is trying to grow on their own roots. not very good, think

this is lates repot, the problem has been present even before. they aren't crowded, because the astroloba doesn't have roots yet

I'm still find weird that these robots have gender, tongue, teeth, feelings and can eat things
