Thanks a lot for the information Sagi, I will relabel them this way. They are finally starting to noticeably grow again, my biggest one, the sinica has really exploded with new growth. I'll post some pics tomorrow. I repotted a couple of the E. fragilis cf. Greece today. I wanted to sprout more and try my luck again with the E. foemina seeds you kindly sent me back then, but to my dismay I realized the baggy of seeds of both fragilis & foemina started to rot... I had not removed the remaining seeds from the berries like a dumbass I salvaged what I could, hope I'll still get some sprouts.

Thanks a lot mate, those spines do look similar indeed. While browsing for more pallarensis pics I stumbled upon this plant from Cajamarca by Chavin Herbalists, looks very similar to me as well: http://chavinherbalists.com/produto/trichocereus-pachanoi-caxamarca-cajamarca/

Hey, so I've had this fatty for a bit now and I'd like some opinions on what species/variation this could be. It's a good 8+ cm across and extremely heavy, over 1.6kg for a 40cm cutting. I realize it's most likely a hybrid. My guess from the spination is it has some bridgesii in it. I was told this plant was found growing near a cliff in the wild in Spain. @Evil Genius I'd be particularly interested in your input on this one if possible

Nice thread and gorgeous plants everyone! Here's what I got: - Pachanoi monstrose, sourced from Italia. Looks similar to the Altman clone? The guy sells PC labeled as such so it's likely: - Crested pachanoi, sourced from europe. Last pic is from last year, it grows fast: - Sausagy/caespitose/monstrose T. peruvianus, it literally pupped from every single areole on the bottom half or so: - Caespitose pachanoi or maybe peruvianus, some of the pups aren't normal pups as in they didn't emerge from an areole, but rather that areole started swelling and morphing into a pup, as seen in the middle of the last pic: - Pachanoi seedlings from Koehres seeds, seemingly doing some funky stuff. They'll be grafted soon: - If hybrids count, here are some. First I have this magnificent Oscar x Helen grown by PedroPark. I might soon cut one of the tiny pups off and graft it: - TPM x SS02 crest, a thing of beauty. Sourced from Spooge like all the following plants: - TPM x Pachanoi Monstrose: - TPM x Pachanoi: - TPQC x TPM crest:

Congrats Matt! Grab the seeds and give the flesh a nibble, it's a tiny but tasty treat

Hot damn! Are those even trichos? (The 3rd one I'm sure but the first two idk, the listing doesn't even say what genus they are). Sorry not linking it's cheap af right now I will try to snipe one haha. This seller is a gold mine, just snagged this crazy 11cm L. diffusa cv. "Big Breast" or maybe cv. "Kikko" degraft for 16 euros, areole grafts galore ahead!

Damn, congrats! Still, this crazy Chinese nursery is selling those hylo grafts for just 8€ a piece, might have to snag one up.

Did you get it from China? Looking at some similar pieces right now.

Not sure what I'm looking at but it's fucking beautiful! Crested godzilla ario?

Thank you zelly, that's a beauty!

Good point, thanks a lot. I didn't know this species of Selenicereus, judging from the pictures it definitely could be it. I believe it has already flowered a few times, I'll ask her what colour the blooms are. edit: "The photosynthesising stem of this plant produces small adventitious roots along its surface that allow it to grip on to trees and climb as high as possible to obtain maximum light" Ok that's definitely it, thanks a lot for the ID HalcyonDaze!

My mother has this huge Epiphyllum anguliger which throws those round almost spineless shoots that readily root while still attached to the plant. It seems to grow very fast and since Epiphyllums are related to Hylocereus I thought it could be a nice stock for seedlings. So today I cut a few of these shoots, potted them up and used a couple to graft some random tricho seedlings onto. Also grafted one to a shoot that's still on the plant, just for fun. Anyone here used or heard of Epiphyllum being used as grafting stock? Any reason it wouldn't work?

Sorry for the delay I was working out some logistics, the seeds are going out today.

Very nice, I like the idea of adding some to salad. It should make any old salad nice and colorful if anything. I've got this all purple variety called "Black Dragon" I started from seed, maybe I'll try to revisit this plant once it gets larger.

I've always been very sceptical of the reports of traditional use in South America "for centuries" because of the fact the plant originates from SE Asia. I believe it was from R. Gordon Wasson or maybe in Plants of the Gods that the whole myth originated, and I think it was found that the plant was actually bought by the shaman's daughter at the market because she liked the looks of it and it was a novelty in the area at the time.

Great idea Gimli! I would add: Bridgesii: TBM TBMC Variegated TBMC Brad Helen Pachanoi: Juul's Giant Ogunbodede Landfill Oscar Peruvianus: Gawler MT05 / Chavin

6g of kratom and a nice joint will put most people to sleep pretty quick. Agitated, vivid dreaming sleep, but sleep all the same. Certainly don't recommend it everynight though.

I've had 100% success on about a dozen cuttings so far using an aeroponic cloner and some IBA (clonex). If I understood right you say your trees are blooming? If they set seeds that's a great way to go for propagation. I envy you if you live somewhere Mitragyna grows wild. Here's a successful tray of clones I took from ~5 months old seedlings: PS: If you are the kadakuda from kada's garden I just want to say thank you, wish you site was still up and god bless thewaybackmachine
