[Hulks Dick? what's its real name?]

Hi fellow SABers.  I was just wondering if anyone could give me a positive name and id on this beauty?  i bought this off ebay awhile back under the name of hulks dick.  since pupping the main column  is getting drained of its gearth.  what can i do to help it bulk up again?  I have been watering a bit more often than usual but the pups still seem to be draining the main body of its fatness.   Before   Now  video-2016-11-20-09-06-05.mp4

[Advice on Dragon Fruit grafting with Trich]

Hi fellow SABers.

 Im after some advice.  I needed to clear out my humidity chamber and ran out of my perk's.  So I grabbed a few pieces of Dragon Fruit for root stock and went to town on grafting a whole heap of thich's onto unrooted cuttings.  I wasn't expecting many to take and to my surprise I had a 80% success rate.  I moved some perk grafts outside a few months ago and they seem to have stalled in there growth.  They are in almost full sun 3/4 of the day.  I have been thinking of putting together 2 polystyrene eskys (one on top of each other) and adding some translucent film that they use for hot houses (Both top and sides) .  Would this be more beneficial to the dragon fruit grafts or the perk's?  Or should i just keep them in full sun?   

[Rosie #2 freak out]

Ok  i have either mislabeled this beauty or i got the wrong info.  So now i am looking a cutting or rooted plant of Rosie #2.  Anyone interested in trade for some nice fat scop?  Alternatively I'm ok with a cash payment.  

[FAT Scop and FAT Pach. 3+foot lengths.]

All sold bar 2 pieces of scop and 1 piece of pach.   Drop me a pm if your interested . 

[FAT Scop and FAT Pach. 3+foot lengths.]

I checked with the postie and its 21$ for a 1 foot of pach and for a 3+ foot log would be 43$ for the scop.  thats from here to Melbourn.   the scop log is over 10kg 

[FAT Scop and FAT Pach. 3+foot lengths.]

is it better to sell by a foot cutting or by a 3+ foot log?

[Rosie #2 freak out]

I have watched this vid SSSSoooooo many times.  I'm not surprised it was a member here who made such an informative video.  Big thanks who made it.  Looks like I have a few weeks to wait to graft.

 I have been doing grafts with a lot shorter root stock and some without roots at all.  Should i be more patient and not slice up a tall perri?

[Grafting stock giveaway]

cross fingers.  Lucky no. 11

[Rosie #2 freak out]

Change.   At what age is it good to graft unusual seedlings?  I have 2 seedlings that look red in a lot of SG OP Trich mix.  Kindly given to me from Olive.  They are now two ish weeks old.  

 

[Rosie #2 freak out]

Bugger.  I think I got this as a freebie from a reputable breeder/ grower.  I think he is a member here.   I was a bit concerned over the bridgesii looking spines.  Any idea on what bridgesii it could be or is it a bit too soon to tell?  

My Rosie #1 looks a lot different.  sorry about bad picc.  

 

[Rosie #2 freak out]

Has anyone else got a Rosie #2 freaking out?

[FAT Scop and FAT Pach. 3+foot lengths.]

Whats the best way to sell theise guys?  Foot lengths, whole pieces or smaller bits?   I'm interested in trade, not only for other cacti.   What do you think it's worth? 

[FAT Scop and FAT Pach. 3+foot lengths.]

Anyone interested in a cutting or two?  Both Scop and Pach are from very old plants grown in the opal feilds.  I have some heavily scale damaged pieces of scope that I think i have killed all pest but I would suggest keeping in quarantine till you see healthy new growth(and no scale creeping up).  I also have some not so heavily scale damaged pieces and some in really good condition.  The pach is good and fat with some damage from branches rubbing on it.  Some pieces in great nic.  All lengths at least 3 foot long.  I can cut to order.  

I would be interested in trade as well.
