Trichocereus werdermannianus. 5yrs from seed. I posted them in another section but they're more relevent here.

I can't find anything using the search feature. Nothing but these posts come up in results. Can only seem to find one variation of the same post on genaral Trich alkaloids on google. Nothing on google images either. I'm searching "werdermannius", is there any other spelling?

Trichocereus werdermannianus. Nearly 5yrs from seed.

Does anyone know of an online version for this clip. I've been searching for a while, no go on YouTube. Also, ive read the transcript, but i thought when i watched this years ago Trichocereus werdermannius was mentioned - was there a specific type of mescaline in this cactus?

Is it safe to use Osmocote with cacti?

Thanks. Downloading now. You might want to edit the link. I had to delete the http// part in the new window that was doubled to make the link work, might be just my browser though.

From my experience in the Blue Mountains, i noticed when the Aminita's started drying up like in your photos, it is usually too dry for decent sub fruiting. I'm surprised you didn't find any actives though, it has been a good year for rain in the mountains.

EDIT: POTASH will increase the Ph of the soil. Australian soils are predominately acidic, i wouldn't add anything to cactii unless the soil was very acidic or alkaline. Lime will decrease the PH. Add the lime to your legumes

Note on using food dehydrators: Just be careful to check whether and how much they heat up. My dehydrator heater seems a bit too hot for certain mushrooms, so i would pull it apart and disconnect the wiring to the heater. It was easy to do with mine, and i just hooked the heater back up when i need it.

Wow! Didn't realise subs were to be found in Sydney! Thought you'd have to go up the mountains. Nice One!

Whatever happened to CS? I miss his posts.

No.

Just noticed this on the television now. Sorry about the late notice. Lots of info on Hoodia politics.

After a rough season of neglect, my cacti have been moved to a more suitable position and are now getting the TLC they deserve. All seem to be in good condition except my Astrophtums. The myriostigma has gone reddish and lost most of its spots, although the side that has been in the sun the last week is starting to come back green. The capricornes seem to have some sort of rot? Anyone know of these symptoms? Heres some pics.... Astrophytum myriostigma - reddness Astrophytum ornatum - rot? Thanks

Thanks All! The A. myriostigma has been moved to a non-direct sunlight position where it will still be warm. The A. ornatum have been given a soak of weak 'Seasol' and i will keep them dry after that for a while. Cheers for the priceless info.

Can anyone help ID any of these cacti? The Astrophytums im pretty sure about, but the others i haven't a clue. The last one is fairly common but i can't remember where to start. Cactus 1 flowering Cactus 2 Astrophytum capricorne 1? Astrophytum capricorne 2? Astrophytum capricorne 3? Cactus 3 Cactus 3 flowering Thanks!

Thanks Passive Daemon, #1 Turbinicarpus looks to be a macrochele. Would you agree? Turbinicarpus macrochele Turbinicarpus macrochele 2

How long does Datura seed stay viable? I've got lots of seed of D.metel (triple purple) and D.wrightii from 2006. It has been stored in the cool/dry/dark. Would they still be viable in the spring? Or could they germinate now?

Hi All, Is anyone growing snow peas or sugar snap peas? I'm interested to hear how they grow in aussie climates. As they are quite expensive to buy at the fruit shop, they'd have to be good to grow

Acacia phlebophylla 2005 Acacia phlebophylla 2006 Sorry, i can't find any more recent photos.

Does anyone know what is eating my Sceletium? Im sure ive seen it discussed here years ago but cant find a relevent post. Also how to solve this problem would be great, as it has eaten through over 100 rooted cuttings .

Does anyone know when HBWR usually flowers? My vine is taking over the fence and growing enourmous amounts every day, but no sign of flowering yet. Will it even flower in my location (Newcastle, coastal NSW)? The vine is over two years old and didnt grow much until i put it in the ground last spring. Will post pics soon. Thanks all!

Ive got both forms on one plant. The longer form i think i obtained from the cactii not getting enough sun, as when i moved them into full sun , the form became more stubby. I believe the different forms to be due to amount and intensity of sunlight.

Those little bastards!

Don't get too excited Rev, only tropanes in this Duboisia.
