Kinda new to lophs but a mix of sand: coco coir: pumice at 1:1:1 has worked well for me so far. I add some dolomite lime to this

How many hours will it be at/below freezing? When were they last watered? How established/mature are they seedlings or mature plants? These are always factors I take into account. My Tricho's went through 28F/-2C a couple times after moving out but they were on the dry side. And it only dipped down to below freezing for a few hours just before dawn.

Pyscho0 x TPM my fave so far Tpm x (SS02 x pachanoi)

Beautiful plants man. Wish I could take advantage of this ;(

I've never had trouble contacting Ben via email albeit he is a little slow to respond but I'm usually in contact via Email about once a week most the time. I've recently contacted him about if he can breed some per scop and he's going to look into it when next they flower

Scopulicola from SS. Cutting not seed grown

I move mine out when it is a lot cooler than what your forecast shows and I find I can start them in a more intense sun area as the days are still short(er). And they acclimate to the sun's intensity gradually as the days/rays lengthen/strengthen. I have my Tricho's In a lot more mineral mix than most do as I have high humidity year round and lots of wet weather. And terracotta all the way, so I don't worry about cool weather and rain most of the time

Should be fine just make sure to acclimate them to more intense light SLOWLY....

Looks like a sansevieria leaf to me. If so it will root and grow if it is in fact a bromeliad leaf then it won't happen. In fact if it is a sansevieria leaf than you can actually cut it into several 2in pieces and each will root and produce new plants

I scored mine off Sacred Succulents some years ago.....

EG yes I did not buy it and I hate those paper flowers. I actually ripped it off before I left the store ;)

That is just one of those stupid glued on paper flowers

Altman currently has this listed as purpureopilosus at my local Lowe's

Could I ask where you acquired the trichocereus localities?

My .02..... I'd label as pachanoi in my collection.

As far as I know they do not offer any online checkout or payment methods. It's ole snail mail all the way

. Hand raised here!!

Rather ugly, neglected TBM crest I recently acquired. Has a lot if reverted growths and is in need of a little nursing and TLC.

Potted up my scopulicola and the 'Los Banos' Ecuadorian pachanoi monstrose. Potted up some nitrogen crosses, and seedlings of Aussie Tricho's from seed via mushroomman thanks again mate! Los Banos Assorted seedlings in the greenhouse

The peat of the jiffy pots suck moisture from the soil. Use plastic pots and the Baggie method http://cactus-mall.com/ccc/

SS02 loses it's 2 spine motive when grown in shade. It tends to revert back to a basic Bridgesii spination

SS01 is the peruvianoid and ss02 bridgesiod

GA3 and IBA
