Evil Genius Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Love the Glaucus! Is this from the seeds I spread? Sown some of them myself yesterday! Edited March 17, 2015 by Evil Genius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Getafix Posted March 17, 2015 Hey EG, Glaucus by colour but no T. Glaucus there. Whole range of different Trichs in those pics. Wish I had some of your seed. My T. Glaucus are all KK336 and are all fucking green as. Guess they missed the glaucus memo Getafix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted March 17, 2015 They're very sexy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Still have some viable seed if you want some. Sown them in like 10 containers and had about 60% germination rate. Trichocereus seed is viable for at least 5 years. But yeah, am sowing them all and give a few of them away because they aint getting better.

Getafix Posted March 20, 2015 I like you landscaping style. "Well, ran out of room in the cacti bed, I guess I'll just toss these in the lawn." Prime cactus growing real estate all that lawn. A few more lawn additions! Getafix 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hostilis Posted March 21, 2015 Wow, your garden never ceases to amaze me! Beautiful geometry and color in those new pups. Thanks for sharing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quarterflesh Posted March 21, 2015 How do you trim the lawn around them? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted March 21, 2015 I only have a couple in my lawn and I used waterwells so I could mow around them easily. I've been thinking about ripping out all the lawn and having cactus beds in rows with paths between them... And on the Tipz Macro; I think I have procured the same plant from the southern suburbs of adelaide. Apparently if was found by a friend of Tipz somewhere around the same area. I asked for some cuts of it a couple years ago when I happened across it in my travels. I'll have to take some pics tomorrow and do some scrutiny compared to yours, Getafix. Might post them here for your opinion if you don't mind? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Getafix Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Hostilis. It is a new garden as far as the cactus go but I have a vision of how it will be in 5 years time. Quarterflesh- Just run the mower around them no worries and use clippers to keep the grass clear at the base. Got a heap of trees in the lawn I have to mow around so getting good at it! Zed - Would love to see your plant. I will certainly share this one around once I get a few pups out of it. It's a worthy specimen. Pretty sure my garden will eventually end up one big cactus field!

zed240 Posted March 22, 2015 Here's the plant I think may be Tipz macro. I had a bit of a convo with him and it seems his mate got it from around the same area. When I got it it was super glaucous, very blue and frosted. Quite red spines. And how it looks now. Grown with more direct sun in my garden than it got in the location of the mother plant. Thoughts on similarities/differences? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Getafix Posted March 22, 2015 Looks quite similar. The long downward facing central spine. Could well be the same plant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
