What did you do to your cacti today?

Recommended Posts

repotted some stuff along with my 4 y.o. adorable female nephew... (including 6Xnitro-bred monster seedlings)

I hope all people can have this experience once in their lives... (gardening with the 4 y.o. nephew)

today watered generously some dry pots, it seems its getting warmer here

I would say neither polaskia cipcipe nor pachycereus marginatus, but wetness is a tricky thing.. maybe post again dry in the ID thread

The red new growth spines tells me Polaskia for that small columnar. All of my polaskia have red spines on new growth.

Looking at my Lophophora var San Tiburcio and some of them are a shade of pinky/pale red.

Sowed 9/4, never seen direct sun, not over watered (I don't think anyway). My other lophs (diffusa, williamsii) didn't do this.

Ideas?

Also,

Put some of my older (3 month old) trich seedlings into filtered sun for about an hour last week - now looking a little pale/see through. Sunburn?

Cheers...

I've actually seen a few pics of rootstocks forcing pups through the scion without making a mess, though can't say for sure that's what's happening here.

Here's one but I've seen it with thicker stocks as well.

I was experimenting with chemicals on my cacti and turned 30 of them albino with isoprophohol. Now after a couple days they are turning green again with some yellow and white still pachy left over. Looks like all cacti will live though, all still have nice green tips. :)
