[Pachanoi 'Omar' x Peru seedlings]

Leave them both I reckon. The extra chlorophyll will make it grow faster for as long as the soil has nutrients I think hehe

[Happy Fun Sun Time]

That's the so-called Peruvianus 'Martin'. One of the best looking clones in the world IMO. And that picture there doesn't even show how amazing it gets: http://www.cacti.co.nz/index.php/library/t/category/792-

I'm just worried what will happen if/when they fill those pots... I'll have to buy soil instead of people food

[The longnecks in full]

Well, I think many of the pots at the front that appear small are either well-established plants that I had nowhere to pot into (all of the bridgesiis with multiple columns), or some have just been in a pot for 2~ years (the tall column on the far right). Secondly, I always try and pot into a small pot when it's a cutting, or a plant that I don't think is healthy. Sometimes I get lazy and pot into gigantic pots, but the plant always "drowns" and gets hurt from the cold. So I find that if the pot is the right size - the plant can control the soil moisture, and it likes that.

Yeah man, I'll make sure you get the pollen asap once it flowers.

Err, that should say 'Cypress protectorate' :]

[Pachanoi 'Omar' x Peru seedlings]

Yep, that's the one. :D Is yours growing well?

[Sunset]

There is actually some sheep somewhere in the dark area there, how did you know?

[Assorted Trichocereus; mostly the spiky ones]

I'm sure you also recognize the Terscheckii you traded me, as well as the Werd. :]

[Assorted Trichocereus; mostly the spiky ones]

That one came from a cactus grower in Auckland. He didn't grow from seed, and his plant was only 1.5m~ high (with a few branches). I couldn't say much more than that though.

That is exactly right, it was a SS02 x Bridgesii, and it was the one that got attacked by slugs before (http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?app=galleryℑ=5114)

Thanks man

[Terscheckii]

If it's one of these, then it's just a slow grower I think. I can't really understand why either, but my bigger one grows so slow. Maybe it's tiring making those big spines for him?

[Pachanoi 'Omar' x Peru (the test batch)]

Sorry for the late reply Atp. I'm using a mixture of two pre-made mixtures from our local cactus nursery (C,C,), in roughly a 50/50 ratio. As far as I know the unique parts are the rocks (various pumices and other rocks), ground coir and good quality ingredients, plus a root insecticide of some kind (hopefully it's Neem or some such - will check). However I've since found the coir collects at the bottom of these pots and swamps out. In future I will make bigger holes or use different pots (found some with a plastic grid for a bottom that's already working wonders for some seed).

[they've hatched!]

We had some ducks that used to visit us... apparently my dad caught (at least) one and drove it to a beach that's an hour away and released it there ... now there's only one duck that visits

But who will fill the feeding trough? ^_-

[huarazensis x ayacucho]

Wow, that's awesome :D

[igneum lumen]

I can only wish you all the best man. Thanks for making your art, I do appreciate it.

[A. obtusifolia]

I'm gonna have to figure it out aye. I'm just too good at killing my Acacias for my own good.

[A. obtusifolia]

What's the soil in there like?

[IMG 1526]

Some kind of lettuce?

[IMG 1532]

Thanks.

Looks like a good place to check out when I finally make the trip to Aus

[IMG 1532]

Where is this? ;o

[Trichocereus taquimbalensis]

They came from coro, got them in an auction.

[Variegated Macropiper excelsum]

Wow, are you growing this?

[another peruvian]

Is this Blenheim Peru?
