Teotzlcoatl Posted May 3, 2008 I just got a few Turbinicarpus specimens... they are really cool cacti. I was wondering what type of Turbinicarpus cacti people have in cultivation and I'd like to see some pics if anybody has any... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharxx101 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) I just got one on the weekend Teotz mine is Turinicarpus Schmiedickeanus very small and slow growing but a awesome cactus. The guy that sold it to me didnt really want to part with it, but he knows its in good hands with me! Edited September 7, 2008 by sharxx101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teotzlcoatl Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Mine is Turbinicarpus lausseri (= Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele var. lausseri) ~ 1.5"+ plant 9-10 years old. That T. jauernigii looks like a Lophophora cactus kinda. http://www.mfaint.demon.co.uk/cactus/turbo...jauernigii.html http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/TURBINICA..._jauernigii.htm http://www.viridis.net/cactus/mexico/img2069-70-71-74.html Edited August 27, 2008 by Teotz' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Wow - the T. jauernigii really should have been called 'T. lophophoroides'! So similar to a Lophie! Edit: Not to confuse, I meant it looks so much like a loph that 'lophophoroides' would have been a more suitable name. I was not pointing out a mistaken ID - they are probably indeed what Zelly had labelled them. Edited August 27, 2008 by Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted August 27, 2008 Battaia & Zanovello named it Turbinicarpus lophophoroides subsp. jauernigii in 1995... problem is G. Frank already named it T. jauernigii in 1993. Awesome plant zelly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Turbinicarpus is certainly a confusing genus, but it is also most interesting! Cannaboiler, check out the links in post #9, those are Lophophora-like cacti... they are in an aggregate of Turbinicarpus called "Lophophoriods" which includes the species/sub-species/forms/variations/strains of hoferi, jauernigii, laui, lophophoroides and swobodae, check all these out.

mutant Posted September 4, 2008 Hey, how long do tubinicarpus seeds take to germinate? What have been people's experience, if any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharxx101 Posted September 7, 2008 Nice pics Zelly. The flowers look great! It looks like a flower within a flower very nice. Where did you get all these from? did you grow them from seed? They are all big too how old are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Hey, how long do tubinicarpus seeds take to germinate? What have been people's experience, if any? 'Bout the same as Lophophora. Which takes about 2-4 weeks. I found Lophophora and Turbinicarpus really easy... while cacti like Aztekium and Strombocactus were VERY difficult!

mutant Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks, and how long is that, since I haven't raised lopho from seed, only some tricho and a couple of succulents? By the way, forgot to mention... Great pics !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted September 7, 2008 In my experience with T. lophophoroides germination began at 1 week and was sporadic over the next 3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted September 8, 2008 most trich are similar in time as lophs and some turbs....but i have only tried a couple turb sp. so i cant say for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
