How to slow Trichocereus growth indoors during summer?
Evil Genius replied to swim's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Main factor is the temperature. The lower the temperature, the less etiolation. With that said, it's not a healthy way to grow plants long term. For a year, no problem. Every year, not good. -
cuzcoensis or peruvianus/cuzco
Evil Genius replied to enthearch108's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
Yeah, it's definitely not a Trichocereus cuzcoensis. Probably Trichocereus peruvianus of some sort. -
Well yeah, that's some Opuntia relative, e.g. Corynopuntia and Cholla. Pretty spiny fuckers.
-
It's either cold damage from condensed water, or sun damage. It's on the most exposed spots on the plant (the ribs), so it's almost certainly environmental.
-
It's a Scale infection and secondary scarring because of the Scale. Treating the scale with a pesticide should give the plant some time to recover.

Looking for an ID
Evil Genius replied to Paradoxical's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
Well yeah, Trichocereus peruvianus, most likely Matucana. Reminds me of Rosei 1 or Sharxx blue. -
First one is a Notocactus/Parodia. Something like N.warasii or N.leninghausii. The other plant is probably a Trichocereus spachianus.
-
These have great potential. More sun and they will look great. Seen some Trichocereus peruvianus, some Trichocereus bridgesii, one might be PC but hard to tell etc.

Trichocereus Peruvianus id please
Evil Genius replied to tzorge's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
No worries, we've all been there. A good year or sometimes even two are needed to see smythe differences between certain forms and intermediates. Personally, I'm leaning strongly towards Peruvianus here. -
Trichocereus Peruvianus id please
Evil Genius replied to tzorge's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
Too small to give a precise ID, but very likely a Trichocereus peruvianus. -
First one is a Cleistocactus species, but too young to tell which one. Second one is an Echinocereus, probably Echinocereus triglochidatus. Post it when it flowers and I'll verify it.
-
Hey mate, great to have you back.
-
Photos aren't great, but pretty sure the original damage came from splitting up due to watering more than the plant could take in. Fresh air and it should heal fine. If it doesn't post it again.
-
Second plant has scale too. Same treatment, Neem, Azamax, Spinosad etc.
-
The original plant suffers from scale, which then again causes substantial scarring. Look into pesticides against Scale, e.g. Azamax or something similar.
