    Anyone else get anxious and little bit sad when they cut the cacti?

     

    nah, I am fearless, I dont even get stressed cutting my larger bridgesii crest

     

    seriously, I have cut back my cacti so much I am immune.

     

    OK only when I cut something monster for the first time , of which I got only one.. And especially when its a pristine uncut specimen.. 

     

    F.e. I am gonna be stressed a bit when I first cut my Stetsonia crest its first cut... gosh goes so slowly

    Yeah, it's not really all that bad, I know that most often, cuts are the nesesary means to a desired result. Maybe this will help me get over the no cut slump I've been in for the past couple years. I have a ton of PC pach stock now, time to sharpen the blade and start chopping the tips off my prized collumns. Its about time. Going on vacation for to weeks, anything that doesn't want cut needs to run and hide.


  2. Anyone else get anxious and little bit sad when they cut the cacti? Well this had to be done, it will take a couple years for this guy to recover its stature but now I have so much more.

  5. I'm getting ready to move into a perminent home and start a small nursery. Looking for interesting cacti seed, all kinds of ethnobotanical seed to get up and off to the races! Also need a little periskyopsis.

    For trade right now, I have two well rooted stumps, and six cutting with arial roots ready to plant. Pm me and we will work it out. I have them numbered, first come first serve. U.S. preferably but I will send where ever, if you know how to do it successfully.

    I will plan to mail out, Thurs, Apl, 21

    Thanks

  6. this looks like hildewintera what is it?

    Indian Comb Cactus.

    Trichocereus brevispinulosus.

    Here's a little bit better shot of what I have available for trade. And I went ahead and cut the pups off of the rooted sections for ease of shipping, and/or planting out. Definitely a cool looking plant.

  7. EG, I would have to agree with you that due to the clustering of pups around the base, T. candicans would be indicated.

    I however have a couple reservations against jumping to the conclusion that this is a straight candicans plant.

    1. Spination and Ariola spacing is more consistent with tall Terscheckii specimens I've seen as opposed to what I've seen as the common candicans which I've seen in cultivation here in the desert southwest.

    2. The plant came from a whole highly variable group of seedlings Labeled as T. terscheckii from a vendor of which I have seen their mother plants, both of which flower in the same greenhouse. This makes me believe that it's highly likely that the seed batch is hybridize due to open pollination.

  8. Doublebenno, thanks for the look, getting ready to pull a couple scions off of it, one for the tall pachanoi, and the other for the Mexican fencepost. Running low these days on options for grafting Stock. I'll post up my progress, looking forward to getting the ball back rolling again.

    The small portion that I am carrying with us, went outdoors today, night temps being in the 50s.post-15288-0-96259800-1455157982_thumb.j

    Also picked up my first T. taquierensis down the street, cool.
