Vinegar to pH adjust Australia's alkaline water, I do this for the smaller pots and grafts but I admit I don't bother for Trichos in summer since they drink so much anyways.

does the limestone make the watering ph alkaline? If so maybe use another kind of rock and save the limestone for your slow growers.

Their not often sold in Aus, especially on own roots. Best way is to grow seed from variegate parents and hope a few come up funky.

I know the one, he's a great guy with lots of knowledge, and passion for plants.

Has anyone managed to get these into Australia? I know the genetics are here in various TPM crosses but Ive never seen the originals...

Czech sellers seedlists seem to update in mid October, so any current stock may be old.

lotus always put me to sleep, im curious what the extract does for you guinea pigs...

Never seen anything like that around Perth! Nice one BT.

Not much to update from my end, it's winter here and they aren't growing at all, but they aren't dying either. Got one big seedling and two small ones, all look pretty good overall.

When the humans die out, my cacti shall live on.

Cereus. Haven't tried grafting with them but i hear they are good. They also make handsome landscaping plants when large.

I'm terrible with Tricho IDs. Anyone help me out here?

The issue here is that spiritual beliefs are of a personal nature and any attempt to 'share' will meet with opposition. From past personal experiences I learnt the hard way that moments of true insight, of "spiritual connection", must remain unspoken. Attempts to share only created conflict and confusion. Like-minded others can be found, but then you lose your personal truth to a group truth. Religions, cults, nations are built on "group truth." When we accept ourselves completely we can let go of the need to find others who share our beliefs. My advice is forget social media and all beliefs of others, find a special place in this world and enjoy the blissfulness of simply existing.

Because oneness is when everything agrees with my opinions.

Robin's eBay store has been getting a bit of Facebook attention lately in the cacti/succulent groups. I used to bid about 6 months back but the prices have skyrocketed with the popularity. New bidders who aren't aware that there's one or two Superkabutos listed every week are pushing the prices up into silly territory. There was a Lactea Crest v Rubra that went for over $200 a week ago, and there's one of those listed every week!

What country / state are you in?

lol djmatzor that thing is awesome...

Are you saying that Gnosis is a Peruvianus? Thats news to me, i was always told it was a mislabelled Cuzco.

I would assume older as in not newer I guess.

Hi BT, you helped me out last year when I was starting out. I could spare a couple of cuts. Were you after trades or what?

I've read that older spines go white on Cuzco but is this a reliable indicator? I haven't heard about fuzzy areoles being an Peru identifier before. Here's a pic of my Gnosis Cuzco which has fuzzy areoles, so I don't know what you are referring to?

Congrats, they look happy and healthy. Mine are sulking a bit now we are in winter here, I've had to bring them inside. But they have thick woody stems now so I'm hoping they are strong enough to get through the cold months.

Edited with more pics.

Just don't rock up barefoot in a tie-dye shirt asking "where the lophs at?"
