  1. i saw that pile of cuttings in there, they didn't even look like trichocereus let alone

    worrying about species, but recently i did see a pretty nice foot tall pach there for $80, which i wouldn't like to pay, but in a time and place $80 is dinner a movie and if youre lucky a couple of drinks it's not exactly outrageous either, especially if you factor the time you would spend producing something like that yourself


  2. if it has thorns on the vein under the leaf

    i have some of these, last year i had effects that were quite pleasant from smoking the flower bud part, which is similar to marijuana in appearance but seed grows in a bean type pod that opens at the sides. i wont be growing this anymore as the caterpillar type thing it attracts consumed

    a substantial part of my favourite loph graft and had a go at some trich seedlings, but because i see them everyday i've been able to avoid major damage in that area, but yeah the flowers look good and the plant smells really nice, quite a few around Marrickville in front yards.


  3. there was an ad for this site in a magazine

    this week saying 'finally legal in australia'

    referring to 5htp www.recovere.com

    don't know if $50 a bottle is good or bad?

  4. hi twix,

    around here there are some (not heaps)of maidenii in parks and some industrial areas as landscaping at this moment they are flowering and can be picked by the paler colour yellow than longifolia or sophrae, and sometimes by the pruned branches, for parks try northern slightly western suburbs,

    and inner city for industrial, wouldn't really like to be too specific...


  5. --hi,

    sterilised brown rice flour and vermiculite in a jar is technically a breeding ground for bacteria, but no more so than a bowl of brown rice, probably less so seeing as your'e going to such lengths to avoid bacteria getting a foothold..


  6. i don't think it's a kk number the only instances i've seen it mentioned were sacred cacti 2 where it's said to be "commercially available" possibly refering to seed, just number no prefix, or the JLH catalogue where it's referred to the same way, i'd love to trade in the future the largest at the moment are about an inch or so.


  7. so assuming hoping this variety? species? came from good active parents.

    would this trait carry to the children consistently or would it be a case of finding the gifted ones and cloning them?

    i don't know how long these things have been around has anybody grown them long enough to know, it would be a shame if in ten years there were thousands of these around that weren't useful,


  8. i need to cut back a plant due to it not having anywhere to go, and don't really want to throw it away.

    does anyone have any tips for successful cuttings ie, soft or woody. hormone powder or no etc

    thanks


  9. it was really hot here today, and i had cutting healing in the same place as for the

    past week, this afternoon the most exposed rib and a half are yellowish and quite shrivelled ,(it was flawless this morning)my question is, is this just dehydration that will fix itself when roots form or is it wrecked completely, also should cuttings

    usually be left in the shade?


  10. reguardless of how good butane is subjectively {really good} or how toxic it is or isn't 398 people DIED this way between

    98 and 2000 in the uk alone, probably from form rather than function but that's beside the point, it is probably irresponsible to

    advocate something kills so much reguardless

    of how it does it.....


  11. i think from cactus garage he may often

    mix them up, i once enquired about peruvianus

    from him and he said yes, he could obtain

    rooted cuttings, only to write back a few days later '" I meant T.pachanoi cuttings not

    peruvianus ,hope i haven't mislead you.

    reguards

    peter"

    he also included a note about them being clumped into Echinopsis together,or something

    of similar spelling


  12. there is a brand of jam called bonne maman,

    it comes in the type of jars your'e after

    it used to be at franklins at marrickville metro, but that's woolworths now and i don't

    know any more ,maybe another franklins with

    a foreign food section, or definately any

    good deli, but you'd better like the jam$$$$


  13. i have this problem? around grafts i thought it was from poor hygeine when cutting or during healing, doesn't seem to spread too

    profusely, but yeah rust was my exact thought

    on what it was, is yours actually on the outer skin
