    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Wocket replied to bit's topic in Cacti & Succulents

    That's a good idea. So.... if anyone in the US has some pollen they would like to share/trade for the resulting seed, I would appreciate it. It's my only tricho with curved spines and I'd like to cross it.

    My first trichocereus to try to flower. Grandiflorus:

    Hey guys, here's some art we've made. Second pic is a collab sculpture done with friends. Hillbilly, you are spot-on about the use of gold fuming in your piece (and marbles being hard to take pictures of). I'd like to see the other marbles when you have the time. The blue one in the first pic looks like it could be pretty cool.

    I like how fuzzy the werdermannius is. Olive, were you allowed to take pictures of the plants these seed came from? I'm unfamiliar with some of these cactus. Sorry, I should have listed them, I thought I had mentioned it in an earlier post: Psycho0 is In the front . They are starting to fall onto each other and need to be repotted, or maybe some sand. Cordobensis is leftmost, in the rainbow swiss chard pot. its growing short and fat compared to the others with the most variance in spine color. Goliath is in the back left, a few pure white seedlings from these, but they melted away after grafting. Macro is back right. Mutant looking seedling is an optical illusion sadly. Though two seedlings are always a lime green color, even when the others are dark. So I'm guessing that's some form of variegation/albinism. There's some cuzco around somewhere too... hoping for some wicked spines. So five kinds. All new to me.

    Growing blackberries in subtropics...?

    Wocket replied to gtarman's topic in Ethnobotany

    My Köppen climate classification is Cfa, if that helps, humid subtropical. Orange rust is usually the biggest problem here with all the humidity. As long as your neighbors don't fall into it, thorns shouldn't be a problem You could try blueberries? Mine mostly just worry about all the cacti.

    Wocket replied to gtarman's topic in Ethnobotany

    I'm also in a subtropical climate and we too have invasive native blackberry/dewberry species, also several bred just for the climate.

    Nice! I'll have to try to get a few more done. Double nifty

    Just a little update for ya. Had time to squeeze in a quick matucana graft yesterday morning. Also noticed a tricotyledonous matucana seedling. That's kinda nifty.
  12. Wocket
    Even if they are small: I'll have time to take more pictures soon, I've been away from the garden.

    I'm not in Australia, but I agree with what everyone has said, and I also treat them much like my trichs. My stapeliads can be weened into full sunlight given enough water, and huernias seem to grow okay wherever they want. They are pretty good at bouncing back too. I've seen huernias survive a light frost, but with scarring. I grow Huernia Schneideriana cuttings to give out to friends who visit and want something to take home. One of my mother plants has been growing in a coffee cup half full of a heavy clay dirt for years now and is perfectly happy. I find those to be particularly forgiving. On a side note, I had the opportunity to learn bronze casting and sacrificed a few cuttings to make this: The person I gifted it to requested I leave the investment (white stuff) on, so I'll never get to see how it truly came out.

    Hi (New Member Intro)

    Wocket replied to starling's topic in Chill Space

    Welcome! You sound like you have a pretty cool collection, I would also like to see some threads on your fruit. Dragonfruit has such nice colors. I only have three kinds of hylocereus(that haven't fruited) and would like to know more about the plants.
  21. Wocket
    or some kind of hybrid? I tried to do some research, and that was the closest I could find. A made friends with a local tropical nursery owner, and she gave me this piece.

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Wocket replied to bit's topic in Cacti & Succulents

    Repotted some things, but took pictures mostly. An unidentified trichocereus, probably a mutt: What I guess to be a cuzco?: A grandiflorus that I've been needing to repot and separate for a year: Do you guys like succulents too? sempervivum 'pacific devil's food', it starting to grow more greenish after repotting. Haworthia 'concolor': and an aloe, cat for scale.

    I can't comment on the werdermanius, but the five I received all have very good germination rates. A small number of Goliath OP seeds seem to be lacking some chlorophyll. Just some seedlings being seedlings, about one month old.

    Thanks for the pictures, zelly. I planned on getting some of those seeds on my next order, I'll have to make sure I find something to graft them onto before planting. I like variegated plants, especially if the color is splotchy. I could see how variegated/albinos could be an inconvenience; having a high percentage of them wouldn't make the strongest crop, not to mention the extra attention they would require. However, my trichocereus collection is fairly young, and almost all PC plants, so I welcome the variety. I had my first variegates pop up a few weeks ago, so everything is new and interesting to me. That TBM in the back is a nice touch, haha.
  25. Wocket
    Are there any updates on the albinos?
