    can someone explain to me it really doesnt matter wtf I type in as a signature line, the forum software REDIRECTS to www.cactus-seeds.com ??

     

    If you were to right click on my posts & choose Inspect Element, you will see the html code href= that is causing the redirect.....

     

    No Doubt Russia Interfered in Zelly's post - details will be released soon!

    Don't read this if you are easily upset by cactus abuse :wink:
    I don't remember exactly how these two Saguaro seedlings became "un-potted" but they have managed to hold on to life in spite of my gross neglect. These seedlings have not been in soil or had any water for over 1 Year! They were in a sort of "suspended growth" state, under 30% shade cloth and have just become grossly dehydrated. Today, I was cleaning up the area and decided to do an experiment to see how long it would take to "bring them back" if I can. I potted these two up and gave some water just to settle the soil. I will provide occasional updates with the results.

    ... Or does it have to be grafted to other Carnegias? If so, are there other faster growing Carnegia species which Carnegia Gigantea could be grafted to to speed up growth?

    Carnegiea is a monotypic genus, an unusual case where the genus and single species Carnegiea gigantea ("Saguaro") are one and the same.

    I have a few specimens which may (visually) demonstrate some of the confusion regarding the identities of these cacti in southern Bolivia and northern Argentina.

    It may be that Bolivian cacti are much more diverse in appearance, and possibly genetics, than was previously thought.

    These two photos show plants that look similar to zelly's which were sourced from Bolivian seed and provided to me by an old time cactus collector.

    These were labeled as: T. Werdermannianus

    Below is a Bolivian "Terscheckii" from Succseed which looks less spiny than the "Werdermannianus"

    Now a "typical" Terscheckii from northern Argentina, from seed collected at Valle Fértil, San Juan Province, Argentina.
