Curious to see how this one goes in the future. I have some pretty gnarly looking specimens as well but nothing near as bad as that lol
-
Epic thread! I don't even know what to say other than I'm beyond jealous.
-
I received my seeds yesterday, thanks again to Pimento and Mr. X! You guys rock, I'm going to plant these next week on my time off and will post updates.
-
These are awesome! Are you going to make more someday?

I read this thread originally as more like "what are some cool kitchen gadgets you can't do without?" .... not "what is the single best survival tool?"

A good quality can opener is a must have in my opinion. This is the one I use and I absolutely love it, it doesn't leave any sharp edges and always takes the top right off no problem or struggle. Mine is green but otherwise the same http://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Deluxe-Safety-Lifter/dp/B00004R8ZD

Have you sent any to the US yet? If so, was there any trouble with customs? Also, how much did it cost to ship?
-
Hope you're all healed up well by now. I bought some seeds from you several months ago but have yet to plant them but I'm slowly getting around to it I think lol. Thank you for your service, and take care of yourself. My grandpa also was in Vietnam, he just passed away last month at the age of 75 after battling throat cancer for a year. I suspect Agent Orange as a likely culprit. Anyways take care of yourself, I look forward to ordering some more seeds when you get a new batch up for sale.

When you say as cold as possible do you mean in the freezer?
-
What exactly do you guys think makes this clone deserve it's own name? Is it the longer than normal spines? It basically looks just like many of my bridgesii do except it has a little bit longer spines but that can be affected more by the climate and sunlight than genes.

any suggestions on how to fix this pachanoi?

I agree with the other posters, bigger pot and lots of water should swell that baby up over time. -
Zircon6 ( cactus_kate_trichocereus ) strikes again!
BigHeart13 replied to magical9's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I don't want to get into all of the things he is alleged to have said or done, but I will say that I have purchased from him several times and never had any real issues other than the one time he apparently forgot my order and after I reminded him he threw in an extra couple of cuttings. No one else on ebay sells full sized, fully rooted trichs for a reasonable price like he does, and I know that because I have about 10 "saved searches" on ebay that give me notifications on my smartphone everytime someone posts a cactus that matches the terms so I literally see probably 95% of the trichocereus that go up for sale on ebay in the US. Maybe he is an asshole through and through, I don't know but my personal experience has been pure business and no one else is offering up much in the way of real competition to him at the moment. I know this doesn't apply to all of you in other countries though, I feel like it's harder to find reasonably priced trichs in the US than it is in Australia or Europe. -
Comparison Trichocereus Riomizquensis & PC Pachanoi
BigHeart13 replied to Evil Genius's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I'm up for it, how long does it stay fertile? In a few months i should have some flowers going on, can't make any promises though but last year they flowered and they were just rooting at that time so I'm hoping for gobs of flower buds this year but probably not until august or september.- 33 replies

Loved reading this story I also find PC pachanoi to be quite attractive and feel they get too much negative attention considering how hardy and fast growing they are they more than make up for their shortcomings in some areas.
-
These flowers are awesome man, so good. I'm definitely going to have to look into trying to source some Setiechinopsis now, it blows my mind that they can produce such massive flowers comparable to their size
-
Damn that is way too rich for my blood.... here in the states you could buy a whole trich forest for that amount of money for one variegated peruvian
-
All of the pictures in this thread are absolutely phenomenal, good job everyone! I will have to get some pics of my PC pachanoi when they're wet simply because the old growth areoles turn pitch black when wet, yet I'm slightly scared to do it because you all have set the photography bar so high and I'm barely allowed to touch my girlfriends DSLR camera as it is lol

Cacti theft general discussion- incidents,prevention
BigHeart13 replied to nut's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I just tell everyone I don't know the name of them but I like them because they grow fast. If they ask how much they cost I just say they're really cheap on ebay and will poison you if eaten. -
Comparison Trichocereus Riomizquensis & PC Pachanoi
BigHeart13 replied to Evil Genius's topic in Cacti & Succulents
This is very interesting stuff guys. I know I'm new here but have been into trichs for about a year now, reading nonstop on here and other sites. Since I'm in the US I have access to lots of PC pachanoi and have several of them growing right now. If I can get two of them to flower at the same time I will try to pollinate them by hand and see if they are clones or merely close relatives.- 33 replies

Hi there, I'd like to say first of all that what you're doing is beyond awesome! it's so cool that you're spreading the trich love all over the world . I'd be honored to be #4 if this is still open. Even if it's not open any more, thank you for doing it.
