Purple Trichocereus: Those posted of mine are from Zelly's seeds
Ethnotramp replied to Inyan's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I'm a huge fan of purple seedlings! I've got a theory about them. I'd love to have some of your input on this. So to the best of my understanding the color purple in cactus are caused by betalains. Betalains are aromatic indole derivatives synthesized from tyrosine. Tyrosine is synthesized from phenylalanine. 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine (Mescaline) is biosynthesized from tyrosine or a hydroxylated phenylalanine. Thank you wiki. ;) So a cactus that is purple is showing an abundance of tyrosine ;) ;) at the least. Right??? Meangreen, anthocyanins are unrelated to betalains, but I'd still be interested to see if magnesium treatments would affect the betalain content.- 21 replies

EG´s Kickass Trichocereus Giveaway Thread! Pics please!
Ethnotramp replied to Evil Genius's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Thanks DualWeildRake! The leaves fell off on their own, the soil they're in is too sandy and is tough to keep them properly hydrated in it. The peres was also small and thin but I was trying to graft as much up as as possible. Thank you again EG! Everyone who grew these seeds was a winner!- 161 replies

T. Peruvianus? (Cactus mail)
Ethnotramp replied to Trevyn's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
It's a beautiful Trichocereus, but you may want to edit your name and address out of those photos. -
Sorry, I should've clarified that I am stateside. I just thought maybe there would be a better source someone on here knew of. Being that it is of desert origin and that Australia places so much emphasis on agricultural technology I thought that it may be more common there or that someone from these forums from anywhere might have any experience with it. I would like to be able to justify the cost.

Just curious as to whether anyone out there has any experience with this fungus? It is easily grown on various substrates (YM, PDA, PDY) and forms mutualistic symbiotic relationships with a wide variety of plants. It is reported to increase disease resistance, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, and phosphorus uptake. It cant help but feel this could be of interest to a lot of people here, but have seen no mention of it? I have found cultures for sale only at ATCC.org for $354.00 US for an ampoule. I want to get my hands on a culture, but at that price I'll be wanting for quite a while. If this fungus is as great as they claim, I would love to see this shared around with members of this great site and benefit all our growing endeavors. Tricho growers unite!

There once was an old stoner, so poor his dog was a loaner, he pleaded his need, for a little seed, in hopes of a bridgesii boner.
