Spiky Mc Cactus Face Posted January 9, 2019 Hi fellow cactus addicts My first real post on hear Anyways nessled in my seedling collection, in a takeaway container, amongst other lophs seedling is this little fellow, looks pretty weird huh. Im interested to hear people's thoughts on if its crested or not and if not whats going on. Its wayyy smaller than the rest an and approximately 3 months old Opinions please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saigaX Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) It certainly is freaky! Here's a pic for reference. Most of the time when we think of a crested loph, the first case with the single meristem comes to mind. From the look of it i'd say i wants to be polymorph/ monstrose. Only time will tell! Edited January 14, 2019 by saigaX 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MountainGoat Posted January 20, 2019 It’s unlikely you’ll be able to tell if it’s actually going to crest until it’s a lot older. Crested lw is extremely rare, more often found with fricii. I’ve grown thousands from seed and never had a crest, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you.... Monstrose is cool too, but lophs tend to be very stable, though varis can happen sometimes. Theres a guy here northern rivers, an incredible collection, so it may be the same guy... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiky Mc Cactus Face Posted February 7, 2019 Its still looking weird lol. But unfortunately the due to some horrible hot days it dried the container out a little, think i caught it in the nick of time but it looks like some damage might of occurred But hopefully its just were the seed capsule was sitting and finally come off and will green up with time..says the hopeful optimistic in me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
