    Why don't you give him a call folias if your not worried about the implications of self incrimination... If a stranger walked up to you on the street and said hey mate wanna talk about marijuana wtf would you say? Illegal is the new legal??? Tell that to the cops when their kicking your door in mate...

    Bitchy and angry?? Mate with all due respect what response did you expect to get when your first post as a noob on forum you have contributed nothing to is asking members to email or msg you to talk about a concoction that is ILLEGAL in Aust. For fuck sake, seriously?? UTFSE!!!!

    Hey Sally, believe or not that was going to be my next question :). Whether to graft onto the pups or cut the stock further down. The pups are only around 10-15cm which I assuming would be to small? The stocks in question are different Trichocereus.spp and Hylocereus.spp. Would the be Trichos be suitable to completely bury? Thanks..

    Hey all , I have a question regarding grafting stock. So I know in order to achieve grafting success that both the scion and stock need to be in a growth phase but my question is this. Can I use a columnar stock that has previously had the top cut of it and is pupping(therefore growing)? Thanks..

    I've heard that too quarterflesh with regards to the Indian strains being the only ones worth while medicinally. They use it in everything from energy drinks to Ayurveda medicine so I guess it's safe to say there's been a bit of selective breeding going on..

    Hey P.H. with regards to "folding"a leaf cutting would it still be planted vertically? And mate I agree with u on seperation of the plantlets being the hard bit. I myself take the time, can't bring myself to just thin them out so to speak. That and hardening them up depending on your climate. I have found in the past that they won't get much bigger than they are now until they have been seperated, or they at least grow alot slower. Once seperated out they take off.

    Like Sally said mate they love it hot and humid, they're a tropical understory plant so provided they're not getting blasted by full sun you should be right. I've never bothered with a heat mat myself but I live in the tropics, might be needed further south. Also like prioritise said every break in the stem will throw more clones. If your careful you can cut away the clones and replant the leaf, i'm still amazed how many plants you can tease out of half a leaf. The only thing you really need to get these things going is patience. The ones in the pic were planted about 4 months ago but I have a few others that were planted at the same time that are rooted but yet to throw plantlets. I find they tend to throw plants around the same time that I've given up on em :)

    All of these leaf cuttings were taken at the same time approx. 3-4 months ago. The first picture the leaf was cut in half off the mother plant, planted in soil and placed in a humidity tent which consisted of a glad bag and placed in a shady spot on my back deck. The second picture the leaf cutting was treated the same but the stem was carefully snapped in two to three places at the base. As you can see the yield is drastically increased by employing this method. Hope this helps anyone interested in propagating these lovely plants :)

    Gtarman, no offence taken mate, just havin a laugh. :). There is an annual pig hunt up here(not that I would go!), but the flyers get posted around at shops that are willing to put them up. I shit you not, it reads something like an event for the whole family, bring the kids... Not that I have kids, but if I did I really can't envision myself loading em in the truck to take em on a mass pig hunt :rolleyes:. Entheongaia on the other hand, now there's an event for the whole tribe!
