Ariocarpus and Astrophytum from the collection.
hostilis replied to Hellonasty's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I cannot for the life of me get my ariocarpus retusus grafted to a pereskiopsis to grow. I have no idea whatsup with it. It took and everything about 2 months ago and has just been sitting, Time to try some more grafts i suppose. -
I didn't know that you could cross those two and the mutant traits would pass on. What is TPQC?
-
Hey Jox, I've never even heard of that species of loph. L. ziegleri How'd you aquire it? EDIT: Nevermind. Just read the whole thread. Williamsii to pedro. Day 1: Week 3: Monstrose pachanoi x peruvianus to pedro Williamsii seedling to pereskiopsis Day 1: Week 5 Bridgesii seedlings to an opuntia pad

You are living out one of my dreams my friend. Great work!
-
I would have loaded up like 20 4' cuttings of those! haha. :D Awesome find man!
-
Good to know. My a. riterii have been growing for like 2-3 months now and they're pretty damn small. The seeds are tiny as all hell too. It's pretty crazy. I am very dedicated with this cactus growing passion though so I will accept the from seed aztekium challenge. Lol. An update on the red seedling. It's very small and looks kind of shriveled. It put out one new section that is a greenish color. I'm thinking maybe it might actually be variegated.
-
Hello everyone! I have some A. retusus seedlings and I think one of them may be variegated. All of them are green except for one, it's red. At first i thought it was sunburnt, but i realized that if it was the other ones probably should be too since they're the same distance from the light. I'm sure some of you have witnessed seedlings that are variegated. I haven't, so, this will be a first. I'm very hopeful that it is, and I will graft it soon. Here are some pictures. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I'm officially jealous. A crest from seed!! I wish that would happen to me, I just bought all of my crested plants so far. The only mutant i have from seed is a possibly melted wax, semi monstrose bridgesii.

My new additions. Gymnocalycium Damsii v Rotundulum Gymnocalycium Denudatum

Haha, I also just ordered 100 A. hintonii seeds. I'm in way over my head aren't i? Lol!

Wanted Harrisia jusbertii / Eriocereus jusbertii
hostilis replied to GoOnThen's topic in Seed & Plant Swaps
I have a couple Harrisia jusbertii plants. I'm not sure if you are still looking. I'm in the US though. -
For sure man. I plant on doing TONS of grafts with my variegated caespitosa and jourdaniana. Just today i did 3 jourdaniana to myrtillocactus grafts. My caesp is a little bit small at this point to take a pup off, unless i take the main head off which i don't want to do, but i will for sure be making tons of clones in the future.

Beautiful man! I love it. Makes me very sad what happened to these plants.
-
Wow, that makes me very sad. If one thing in the world should be a god given right it should be the right to be able to grow any plant that you want. It is illegal here in the "good ol' U S of A" (sarcasm) It scares me that this might happen to me one day, but I wont let it. Those were pretty little girls. I'm pretty stoked about mine starting to show white and pink growth. It's pretty awesome. I'm debating grafting it to an over sized pedro to see what happens, watch it explode with growth.
-
I have no idea what that is man. I almost thought it was some kind of monstrose myrtillocactus. Where'd you find it? And that seedling looks like an opuntia seedling to me almost. Def doesn't look like a loph, but who knows. Can't wait to see it when it's older. Myco, what happened to yours? That is a tragedy that they're gone.
-
Yeah, this doesn't look like it's from the normal clone that's floating around where the gymno was orange/red. This came from a yellow gymnoclycium i think. I like it.
-
I'm not really sure what you meant by that. Lol, but thanks for wishing me luck. I guess i'd have to watch the movie to understand. Hello HN, thanks for the reply. I was also thinking it looked sunburnt. I'd say there's a tiny chance it may be variegated but you are most likely correct. I will update everyone when it is older. I appreciate all of the repplies. You are a very helpful bunch of people. Thanks!

Just got this one and i absolutely have to post it here. :D Myrtillocalycium polyp chimera.

Mutant, I am growing aztekium from seed. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the ariocarpus. It was confusion on my part. Good to know about the humidity with aztekium. I just took mine out of humidity after three months and I'm thinking I should maybe put it back. I was planning on attempting a graft with one of them when they're bigger, but i'm not sure. I have one adult that is grafted to a myrtillocactus. Here is a picture. I may attempt a few more ariocarpus grafts just to see if I can get one to actually grow! Lol. Here is the picture.
-
I will for sure. I have a graft that i'm pretty sure took, but it hasn't moved for like 1 month. It is all plumped up though so I think it took. The loph i grafted on the same day is way big now.
-
How else do you start them? Lol. They don't seem like they'd be easy to propogate. Or can you take a cutting of one of the "leaf" like things and root it?
-
Here are some more of my freaks. Picture 1: Pink, yellow, white, and green variegated L. williamsii caespitosa (correct me if you think it's a different species of loph) grafted to a hyclocereus. Better picture of the colors Picture 2: Lophophora Jourdaniana grafted to a Harrisia.

This is beautiful, whatever it is. I pray that it is a chimera. :D Fingers crossed for this being the first + Trichophora (or + Williocereus)

Drugs sold as 'food' exempt under new laws in Aus
hostilis replied to CLICKHEREx's topic in Legal Matters
Keeping drugs illegal wont stop addiction. It actually just makes it a LOT harder on the addicts. When there is a demand there is going to be a supply and it being illegal, as you know, doesn't stop people from using it. If it was legal it could actually be regulated a little bit. There could be programs to help people out with this. Instead they just tell everyone how bad it is and keep it in the hands of the black market, then throw people in jail for it when they probably actually need some help instead. The world wouldn't change, the drugs are already here, they will never stop being here. This to me just sounds like exactly what they want the population to believe. When in reality they're just making money off of it and that's why they keep it this way. -
Yes, I'm planning on grafting a lot of these to pereskiopsis anyways. It actually isn't growing as well as the others, it's a bit shrivelled and not as fat as the others. But to be honest i would have no idea, so i'll take your advise to heart and probably graft it anyways just to see what happens. I have some ariocarpus trigonus and aztekium riterii growing too. The a. riterii is just unbearable how slow it grows. They're about a month old and the size of a grain of sand still! Planted at the same time as these little girls. It's crazy. Thanks for the help though.
