gosh if I dont have just the deal for you !

If you were to google "Trichocereus serra blue", you'd discover serra blue to be a peruvianus in nature, & thus your original seeds would have been mislabeled....... serra-blue = peruvianus serra canyon = bridgesii somewhere in my garden I have the serra blue plant in the ground and have the serra canyon plant in a pot.....or at least thats how they were labeled when I acquired them......:) http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18349-true-blue-peruvianus/&page=7

fwiw- scop x scop & psycho0 x yowie are crosses made in Oz I've two plants like this of huarazensis x scopulicola, both monstrously fat for some reason....

The very first issue of Dragibus Magazine (Summer 2012, Volume 1 Issue 1) had an article titled "Trichocereus and the Chavin: A Love Story", so that might help you a little, and for first hand knowledge you should PM slice http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/profile/11286-slice/ since he's made a couple of trips to Peru

bingo not so much a 'thing with trichs', more at overall size of the rootstock to begin with in relation to accelerated growth of the scion. Its hard to tell how tall your root stock is; I would recommend a minimum of 12" for a long term graft, the bigger the better.

personally i think you're making a mountain out of a molehill I'd re pot that puppy into a pot that would hide the rootstock in its entirety so that the only thing visible is the scion fully engulfing a round pot right at the rim level.

Think about it mate, as donations reached the goal, they'd taper off to nada.....by not showing the cumulative total, they can go on ad infinitum......

Imagine a cactus root, growing in bone dry soil, searching for water. The bigger picture however is the total environment of the enclosed glass greenhouse that maintains a fairly even & warm temp year round, as well as fairly high humidity conditions. The clay pots in conjunction with the top dressing (and in my opinion, the top dressing is the potting medium) keep the roots at a fairly consistent & warm temp, further promoting root growth. How much water would the plants and or roots need growing in a fairly consistent humid environment? As for the misting dispensers, more than likely they're located near the roof framing members and steam driven, the purpose being maintaining a fairly high humidity.

1) ventilated, all glass green houses 2) warm, consistent year round temps: (Bangkok: Annual Weather Averages. April is the hottest month in Bangkok with an average temperature of 31°C (87°F) and the coldest is December at 26°C (79°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 9 in December.) 3) high humidity inside the glass house 4) more than likely a misting system vs watering pots individually; water soluble ferts added to the misting

I for the life of me cannot understand why a shipper couldn't name cactus seeds with most any name he or she chooses, such as Lobvia winteriana and pm/email the recipient the actual name(s).

if they are outside in total shade & and not in direct sunlight I would say leave em alone....... one thing i do is go from total shade to dapple morning sun then to full sun, stretched out over 3-4 weeks

My Echinocereus triglochidiatus was recently flowering, more than likely at the exact same time as those you saw in the field. here's a closeup of the flower Using pollen from a nearby Notocactus magnificus, I got two flowers to set fruits

At this point in time I would recommend you plant the entire pereskiopsis rootstock as well as the first inch of the scion, which will would allow the scion to grow its own roots while being nurtured by the peres rootstock.

but I did loose one of my favorite TBMs which is not likely replaceable text me mate, we'll work it out

mate, your cacti got problems. Personally I would chuck the one in pic 2 in the trash bin & wave goodbye & would strongly consider the same for the other two cacti

dont let him kid you hcc, theres a damn good reason why he's called Master B

regardless of species, alkaloid content will vary from plant to plant even in the same species as well as by growing conditions & by the time of day when the leaf is harvested.

from buds to flowers.....

I received a bunch of Werd seed labeled ABG so I dont know which pod it was from, but I too noticed a lot of variegated seedlings. In my garden its pretty much survival of the fittest as I dont do any grafting, so today theres only a few variegated left on their own roots, & they're kinda sun baked..... here's an updated pic of bridge rio mosna and a pic of some of the slops, slightly over 1 yr old, own roots

basically i need a place to park some pictures that I'll be posting up periodically of plants that I'm 'boarding school' for other people. boarding either because I have the room to grow them out or because of my favorable year round growing conditions, or just because for any reason first up are three rooted plants from trucha, one being a seed grown (SS seeds sourced from Europe) spineless scop that came from Archaea. I received them bare root so as soon as they reestablish there root systems, they're going in the ground. The blue pachanoi was sourced thru Ogunbodede as a wild cutting from Peru, supposedly recognized & utilized by shamans in Peru. For ID purposes I'm calling this plant pachanoi KT Ogun The third plant (mottled greenish) has quite a history behind it and pictures of it illustrate quite a story, which also ties in nicely with the recent thread on Blue specimens For ID purposes I'm calling this plant KT Macro GF in no particular order... Link to KT macro GF earlier pictures at a former location. http://troutsnotes.com/a-trichocereus-at-gfs/

yessir, that was my only choice. fortunately I had 3 blooms on 2 separate disci plants so i crossed both ways. Hard to see amongst the spines but I do believe I've 4 Esperanzae fruits.

Here's a few more of Nitrogens plants....this first one is a super pedro x J3 which is going to flower soon..... then theres his Super Pedro x Psycho0 which will have a couple of flowers this year then here's an updated pic of his bruce x sausage last for now, an ogunbodode from SS I'm growing out for an aussie mate
