$110 USD/1k, world wide shipping included. how many k would you like?

check out misplant seeds......anything crossed with variegated red grandiflorus can produce variegated seedlings. also his pach oscar & pach olivia tend to make monstrous / crested seedlings

off topic but if you're into fragrant flowers, get your hands on a crassula falcata. the flowers lasts several weeks & the fragrance is to die for......

Selenicereus anthonyanus flower i would not recommend using as grafting stock

how sturdy are the pots? can you pick up one full of soil rocks & plant & not have the bottom of the pot rip out? are the handles nice & sturdy so that 1 0r 2 people can pick up the larger sized pots without ripping off the handles?

it freezes occasionally where i live & my cielo caapi LOVES it here & she's in full bloom right now, at the tail end of winter.....

I couldnt get any pollen from the numerous flowers & I'm quite certain the flowers got hit with viable pollen. imo the flower tubes dont look anything like either parent & being much longer than 'normal' probably contributed to the failure to pollinate

my huarazensis x scop seedling decided to get weird......hell its only 2-3 yrs old... needless to say, nothing took on at least 6-7 flowers it pushed out in 2017

I dont follow who's selling what on ebay & my only dealings with tyler have been less than positive. I've never met the guy (lives locally) & my only interaction with him was shortly after i joined fb i got a friend request from him which i ignored (i ignore 99.9% of all friend requests as a general habit). well not long after i noticed he was blocking me on fb.... back to more on topic of nitrogen's connoisseur's hybrids......last summer nitro stopped by, bringing 3 milk crates full of grafted seedlings in very poor neglected condition......a staggering number of crests, monstrous and normal looking Nitro hybrids......I potted all up in 1 gallon pots so they could recover and only recently repotted, burying the pereskiopsis rootstocks so the plants could begin growing their own roots. first pic is Psycho0 x N1 on the left N1 x Psycho0 on the right & nitrogen's hand writing on the labels! other pics show some of his crests/monstrous plants

one sure way to tell is flowering / seed setting structures

You're already there Vanda

how about some more info such as are they in full sun? do the discolorations appear only on sun-facing sides? are the discolored ones hybrids? are you feeding adequate amounts of nitrogen? Is the potting soil healthy insofar as to allow adequate nutrient intake? Question for the mosiac virus crowd......does the virus occur in specific areas on a plant or does it manifest in all parts?

i get fantastic results with the leaves in a zip lock baggie with some damp moss or even a wetted paper towel

TH- you're referencing a torrent making the rounds in 2009 which was called Trichocereus in South America. I have the files on a hard drive. here's a pic from one of the folders

i saw some discussion on fb & queried one of the posters....he pm'd me the link. If you carefully read the info at the link, it suggests mss was 'discovered' by a researcher on the other side of the state who was researching some case info and came across a file sharing app linked to mss computer. Ask yourself HOW did the pics get on mss computer?

ever watch "A Clockwork Orange"? as one could imagine, mss is more than likely reaping his just rewards from amongst his fellow inmates......

BBB stands for bouncing bear botanicals so BBB bridgesii x validus would be the correct label

looks like polaskia chichipe

the flower itself tends to exhibit more of the red grandi genetics in that the flowers never fully open like a columnar trich does.......unless you live in an area that experiences extremely hot days. I'm somewhat in a coastal / moderate region; a friend in a high desert area posted pics of the red grandi i gifted them with flowers splayed wide open. All my other grandi's flower wide open, the cherry red ones never do fully open.

unsurprising, considering the pollen donor is variegated....... of those that I've grown out, LJ x vrg & validus x vrg also produce lots of variegates..........

I'll have to send you a jar of my loph fruit jam........

As many of you know Philocacti has been a well respected contributing member here at sab for many many years, as well as being active in other forums such as the nook and the long defunct entheogen dot com. I cant imagine there's too many collector / growers in his neck of the woods which makes sourcing plants even more difficult. Not to mention his growing situation, having to haul water up flights of stairs to his roof top garden.... I've known philocacti a good number of years & have always appreciated his knowledgeable input, not to mention he's a helluva giving person & a man true to his word. After awhile I began to notice he was missing from the forum and wasn't answering my pm's. I mentioned it to other people & they too were wondering what became of philocacti. Adding to the concern was his country was undergoing some drastic changes in government. A few yrs ago he had mailed me some of his trich cuts & a few other goodies.....they arrived in a tupperware container with holes drilled in it for ventilation, which i thought was pretty damn awesome. Thank gawd I had saved it for some odd reason, on it was his mailing address; so I airmailed him a letter. A month or so passes by & then one day I got an email from philocacti. He's had some life changes that sort of knocked the wind out of his sails, but even at that I could tell the spirit was still alive & well within him. I know he would never ask for it himself, but the man really could use our support. A breath of fresh air to fill his sails once more is all I'm asking for. I know I'm not the only one who loves this guy, surely there's others here who will have no problem expressing their love & appreciation for Philocacti No,I'm not going to give you his email address, you can write him a letter right here in this thread.
