FREE ROOTED TBM CUT size of 1 and 1/2 coke cans
bogfrog replied to gogogadget's topic in Cacti & Succulents
ha well i might have to prove it with a picture for anyone to believe me but i am pretty sure that a tbm down the road has stems fatter than a coke can, it is in the ground outside this dudes house. biggest mo fo i have ever seen -
wow. some incredible pictures and plants! i believe there is a short mention of Tillandsia in the Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants by Christian Rätsch, and a picture of some winged shamans holding a Tillandsia sp. Great to see so many thriving wild plants, you must have scored some good seed stocks! cheers!
-
choice scores buddy. is that last 1 from martin too? weird spination
-
wohoo thats cool!
-
wohoo thats cool!
-
cool! do you collect these seeds from wild or cultivated plants? i would be very interested in possibly trading some sort of seeds if you had a few available, i am mostly interested in plants which are used for teas/smoking mixtures. thanks, kea

does anyone know if there will be detrimental effects from keeping cacti seedlings on the heat mat over couple of months? i have noticed they are all very etiolated from not having much light.
-
i love the pink flower from the columnar one!
-
looks like you could be in luck!
-
this mite be a stab in the dark, but i have heard of formic acid (found around ant nests..its their poo. just looks like nice red-brown soil) being used as a natural insecticide. it cracked me up seeing Bear Grills rubbing ant poo all over his face and clothes to protect from mozzies!
-
yeah that red button looks like it could be a variegation, but who knows with that other bit off the side, i've never seen anything that looks quite like that. hopefully it is the start of a crest!
-
yes indeed, will be cool to watch them take off next summer. thanks anyway guys!
-
hey we just scored some cool new plants on the weekend and was wondering if anyone could put a name to these new faces. possible trichocereus crest 1: possible trichocereus crest 2: some other nice crests: squirtle the turtle?: unknown white crest: variegated something?: very nice old copiapoa hypogea: some more copiapoa: pachanoi oddity 1: pachanoi oddity 2(mite be the same, maybe just a little sunburnt: group shot:
-
has anyone got any pictures of a mature crested peruvianus? or know where to find pics? google hasnt turfed up anything useful and i have a new trich crest which could possibly be a peru but i've never seen any other than Archaea's above pic (which looks similar but i still dont know)
-
we have this strain too, did you get it from a guy who calls himself bobkat?

How to prevent etiolation and promote fat new growth?
bogfrog replied to Eluna's topic in Cacti & Succulents
how about for seedlings? all mine are really elongated and skinny even the lophs they look like trichs! maybe i need to get them a light. -
i split my nose open on a table when i was 4 and had the same super glue treatment!
-
hehe anything monstrous makes me all silly with hapiness
-
anyone? i dont bite!
-
ooh la la its lizard business time by the looks of it haha
-
maybe a bridge x juuls giant. but probably not, i just thought i might explain the relatively small spines
-
it is azureocereus hertlingianus by my eye. but that could synonymous with Browningia hertlingianae.

"However, a friend bought 5 clones off of him as T. bridgesii and they were definitely the "Super Spiny" clone. This could be just down to the wrong plants getting packaged up. I thought I better mention that it had been sold before under a different name." no they weren't, he also brought a 'super spiny' log which is quite different from those 5 clones. the 'super spiny' is a very dark green where as that 'bridge-whatever-it-is' (pic 2) is a light waxy blue colour with the weird wiggling lines along the ribs
-
not like any of my bridge seedlings, they dont seem to develop spikes for a few weeks and just look like jellybeans with a split at the top. cool tho. i have had a strange little plant with leaves sprout in the row i planted some ariocarpus seed

i think the harsher the natural conditions of the species the longer the seed will stay viable for, eg: saguaro seeds can apparently last a hundred years staying dormant and waiting for the exact right conditions. but it seems the fresher your seed, the more of them you will get to germinate.
