Master B Posted May 20, 2016 ^^Unfortunately the two albino ones self- imploded after taking quiet well and growing to around 20mm..but i got a top and tail on the one with partial varigation. Here she is... secret garden-trichocereus werdermannianus pod 3 partiality variegated. Sorry the shots are with my phone. Not that im much better with an ants pants camera. I have a feeling this one is going to be a little bit? sexual chocolate when she grows up. I can feel it in my cactus bone.....a Thanks O and Mr X outsanding cacti spreading.. Cheers b 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xoma Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Sorry for the the miltiple posts...had some connection issues Is it possible to remove them somehow? Edited June 17, 2016 by xoma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xoma Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Hi olive and others... :-) Great efford you do there! Thank you again for spreading the love! Since any mold etc. can quickly kill little cacti seedlings I was just wondering if anyone of you does some sort of seed treatment on your cacti seeds? It's worse the work especially if you have harvested in the quantities you did and you want as many as possible to live! I found that some seed batches are really contaminated and others not so much. It would be nice if most breeders would do that and tell the people, (Good selling point!?)...even tho I started sterilizing my seeds again right before sowing. The less bad microbes the better...but I'm still experimenting what the best method is in my view. I think it would not hurt wash the seeds for about 20 min in a 1% solution of h2o2 where you could also add some alcohol or Kaliumpermanganat remove and dry them. I guess there or other options as well and I would love to hear your methodes/option/ideas. After drying it could also help to inoculated them with some beneficial microbes before storing. (Only a tiny amount is needed.) But the people who get the seeds do have to know this so they do not clean them again. Interesstingly some plants do carry their beneficial microbes in their seeds...but I guess cacti do not!? Just some ideas...have a nice day folks!

Master B Posted August 28, 2016 Bit of an update on the variegated werd x open Ribs are shifting I also grafted the bottom and that has just started taking off. Nice to know i can do some clones of this in the future. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrivers Posted August 28, 2016 Doesn't seem to have the werd spines either. It is very unique! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master B Posted September 3, 2016 Yeah love to know what the father was? I am seeing some very varied seedlings from these seeds. Thanks O and Mr X. Here is another from the same seed batch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master B Posted September 3, 2016 Im seeing the werd in the areoles but not the spines??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooge Posted September 3, 2016 That's a beautiful plant Master B Mr X may know what was flowering at the time as he is very knowledgeable about the going ons in his garden maybe dad was a sausage or a yowie or a spachianus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrivers Posted September 3, 2016 Here are a few of my werd op, most probably from another seed pod? A few others from the secret garden. These two Len op look different to each other, starting to get that Len blue 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master B Posted September 4, 2016 Nice they look werd... I must admit i think i recall 3 seed pods and another called a name.... O will know??? All my 3 funkys came from the same pod batch. Mate you have done an amazing job to get those lens to bloom up!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master B Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Call me crazy??? But is that second werd shot a variegate??? Or damage? Looks great! Edited September 4, 2016 by Master B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrivers Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks Mater B. The plants love being under the solar weave (about 15%), they get plenty of sun but the weave takes the bite out of it. Fairly certain it is a variegate, have been watching it from the start, where it was a pinky colour to start with and once potted up it is starting to show the variegate better. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berengar Posted September 24, 2016 Not as much progress with other SG hybrids as I'd had hoped, but this werdermannianus is starting to look nice! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master B Posted November 28, 2016 I have popped a name on this clone just because i am making it a bit of a mission to give this out to as many mates as i can. I am now calling this seed grown secret garden variegated werdermannianus x op .... "Narelle" ( after my Nan that pasted away a couple of weeks ago... she was a great and strong girl) I managed to graft the top and bottom of this seedling and they both took. I have had dichotomous and semi monstrose pups from this cross as well as the obvious variegation. Stay tuned as one may be coming your way soon!
