    Successful De-grafts

    A lot of my pereskiopsis grafts always put out their own roots while grafted if i leave them on there a while. Maybe I'm just not watering them enough or not giving enough nutes because I am a little lazy about that. I just cut them off, let them callous, and stick them in soil.

    Best edible cacti fruit.

    I haven't had it but selenicereus fruit. its also called dragon fruit or pitaya but I know there's dragon fruit that's sweet, dragon fruit thats sour, and I think there is dragon fruit that is neither and more like vegetable. Has anyone had myrtillocactus fruit? They're more like berries.

    $58 US variegated TBM pup ebay.com WTF

    I was watching that auction too. I've always wanted a varigated tbm and had I not forgotten about the auction I probably would have paid the ridiculous price :-P

    To remove or not to remove

    I've always cut off new shoots on my pereskiopsis because it does seem logical that it would feed the scion more. I have heard others claim it makes no difference or is beneficial to leave the new shoots, after all pereskiopsis grows fast anyway. Perhaps some experimintation needs to be done.

    Opuntia Subulata Monstrose graft attempt

    I'm sure you mean this thread. http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9172 I'm wondering if this is just what pereskiopsis does when grafted. I guess the only way to tell would be to graft pereskiopsis onto a non monstrose stock.
  6. I'm almost positive the majority if not all Cleistocactus are self fertile.
  7. Bolivicereus samaipatanus is synonymous with Cleistocactus samaipatanus. That being said I have one and I don't think the plant pictured is a samaipatanus. Are the flowers wilting in the picture? Some Cleistocactus flowers look closed even when they are open. The aereolas look a lot darker on this one, and the spines are different; longer, not as uniform, and not as bright. I think the aereolas can become darker with age on samaipatanus. I think it is Cleistocactus baumannii. Of course you can decide for yourself http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Cleistocactus&species=baumannii http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Cleistocactus&species=samaipatanus I agree with the ID on the Monadenium. I gave one away as a present once and thought it was most interesting. The third one looks like a Chamalobivia hybrid. A Echinopsis chamacereus and Lobivia sp. hybrid commonly called peanut cactus. Fast growing clumpers with attractive colorful flowers. http://www.cactuspedia.info/schede/CHAMAELOBIVIA/photo_gallery_chamealobivia.htm

    Cactus identification needed

    I don't think that 4th one is a Cleistocactus. It's a rather small low quality picture though so it could be. I think it's probably an Oreocereus maybe trollii.

    Is it rotten or is it OK?

    I agree, looks toast. If it's squishy then it's probably done for. You maybe could cut it above the rot and try to salvage the good tissue up top. Is that a Jade plant, Crassula sp? Those things are tough. My girlfriend got one as a gift a few years ago. She didn't realize the pot it was in had no hole and it started rotting from lack of drainage. So I took it out, discovered the lack of holes in the pot, drilled some holes with a masonry bit, and repotted what was left. I put a few stray leaves in there and one of them has rooted. I have heard that with no meristem the leaf can't produce any new growth. However I experimented with a Sedum and planted just a leaf, it grew roots and several weeks later produced a new sprout.

    Uknown Monstrose cacti

    I have one that looks just like that. I've labeled it Cereus peruvianus monstrose. Cereus peruvianus isn't a scientifically accepted name more of name given to Cereus species of unknown origin.

    ID Help, please.

    Im thinking Rebutia sp. for the cactus.

    Grafting on hylocereus

    I was looking at some of my plants today and one of them reminded me of your suspicious Hylocereus. Seleicereus Setaceus, often new branches start off with more than 3 ribs. I've seen them start with 5 ribs but they always loose them as the new branch matures kind of like Hylocereus. Just something to think about.

    Grafting on hylocereus

    Hey I post on cactiguide! On the first post on your cactiguide link the stock he is using is not Hylocereus, it's Acanthocereus he's states it later in the thread. The pictures he posts later in the thread appear to be Hylocereus though.

    Somekind of Aloe and an unknown cactus

    Not sure about the aloe but that cactus looks very etiolated.
