Posted by coolcactusdood , 18 March 2013 · 1 views


cactus australian native plants succulents pereskiopsis trichocereus bridgesii sacred cacti boobs big tits (just kidding haha) no really...were talkin succulents

HAHA! just figured this out, this was originally a blog, but here is my first forum post
Hey yáll, Ive been a cactus/ succulent fanatic for years, and cannot ever truly stop learning more and obtaining more of them. I want to establish some sort of trade with people. I have just cleared out many of my "leftover" offsets of plants which have been cluttering up my area, I have quite a few plants to trade in exchange, though some may be too common and though it may not look like much, it continues to grow every week and may include many dozens more after the growing season. I live in the US, so shipping might be difficult for the more sensitive plants, as well as larger ones.

plants I offer;

-kalanchoe "mother plant" cuttings and rooted, two-five types
-crested epiphyte (since died)
-yellow opuntia microdasys monstrosa (spiraly type)
-crassula oblongata
-echinopsis oxygona (small)
-crassula lycopoides (thin form and monstrose form)
-rhipsalis baccifera
-faucaria tigrina
-some kleinia cactus-looking succulent
-opuntia monacantha monstrosa normal and joseph''s coat
-opuntia subulata monstrosa
-Wild Arizona golden jumping cactus (from aunts backyard)
-silver unknown (dangerous) jumping cactus
-opunia compresa&
-interesting Brasiliopuntia varieties
-various echeverias,aeoniums, as well as the usual "succulents" (desert rose, aloe vera, crassula ovata+monstrosa variety)
-a few euphorbias, medusa and corn-cob type, very beautiful..
and maybe a few more.California Natives like dudleyas and such.

future; many dozens of imaginable prickly pear varieties for consumption, and for beauty. So far I only have small, undivisible cuttings not ready for trade. I wish to grow all my mother plants to make divisible for trading and plain sharing purposes.

In addition to plants, I may provide tips and plant Identification

Plants I'm looking for;
-pereskia aculeata or grandiflora(or both)
-possibly pereskiopsis as mine is not doing too well
-quiabentia verticulata or other varieties
-crested cacti, and succulents, agaves or aloes of any kind (a fuzzy echeveria would be best)
-I like monstrose plants as well, but especially into spirally mutations
-Will appreciate variegations as well
-mirtillocactus var fukurokuryuzinboku, or breast myrtillocactus
-eulychnea castanea varispiralis
-penis plant lophocereus schotti monstrosa/inermis
-astrophytum (any)
-tephrocactus geometrizans (the snowman looking one)
-turbinicarpus (any)
-leichtenbergia principus
-aztekium ritterii
-digitostigma
-macherocereus gummosus
-fouqieria idria columnaris
-euphorbia obesa
-any exceptionally cool Australian succulents Australian_Succulent_Plants.jpg558248_360721760664522_790495508_n.jpg
like the ones shown or others from the beach, desert etc)

also looking for grafting tips as I have not managed one successful opuntia subulata monstrose graft, and have tried several scions.
Thanks, and I hope you may find something you are looking for:)

my computer sucks, so I'll do my best posting these, maybe not today, but they are cool!

as for cacti, I'm not sure what grows in california, but I have some wild ones from Arizona, one state over. Only opuntias and cylindropuntias. I do have many dozens of types of prickly-pear cacti, which one can eat which taste like green-beans when young pads are chopped, and have delicious fruit on them as well (plus make an amazing fence at my house).

As for the pricklypears, my collection ranges from spineless-brutally spiny, including a gentle one covered in "fur", colors ranging from red, purple, blue, and green pads, sizes ranging from three inch pads- nearly two feet tall pads! Plus monstrous and josephs coat, which I would not personally eat myself. Anyways before I get too excited, there are a few succulents which also grow locally which I have; the dudleyas, pickleweeds, and there are others I have yet to discover which I will add.

I'll post pics when I can!

Many people here will love the shots of succulents in the wild, so please do share when you find the time!

I would also love to see your Opuntia collection.

Well they're not necessarily "wild" I've potted them, or planted them in the ground, but they are beautiful plants, though I can't tell you what most of them are called.

I have just added some recently, which are flowering, though may not have taken well to transplantation from the wild. (the local estuary)

It's fathers day weekend, and all, and I'll try to figure out the picture thing as soon as I can get it figured out! plus after my trip, I'll get some cool cacti around the road.
