One of zellys crosses, i have lost label. One year old. The grafting stock is pushing a pup at the bottom. The grafted one is extremly green. Could be a Psyho0 x Sharxx but thats suspicion. Third pic: Lumberjack x VRG grafted on peres

A little more impressions of the garden and the work I am doing.

Not yet, yes I see its time for t.poco, tarijensis, will get some. Most of the plants here are bridge, perivianus, pachanoi, some terscheckii, werdermanius, hybrids and a lot of echinopsis-hybrids, not columnar. Next year we add complementary plants. These place will be created for the purpose of inspiration and gathering cactusgrowers and cactuslovers. More to tell, when the first winter was gentle to the plants. I have no experience with cactis here and the cactis and I face the challenges and natures will.

Thanks. I am building it up, poco a poco, step by step. Yes it is a lot of work and the stones are heavy, after some hours working with them. Next year I will make some space between the plants. First step was to bring the cacti in the ground. The place was in a natural situation, a lot of shrubs, bush and no terraces at all. But here we have a lot of nice stones and now some trichos. The cactis like it here and lets see what the winter brings. Weatherdata and statistic is fine but you never know. Cross the fingers. Will keep you updated.

Hi and welcome to SAB. Yes you can root your brid now, no problem. I have rooted several cuttings last winter in germany. I just cut em in september, let them dry for four weeks and than put em in bonedry soil, no water is necessary in winter, because the plant doesent grow. Last winter I rooted several cuts they were decrafted. In spring i have put them in the ground. Usualy winter is not a good time for rooting but i gave it a try, and for me it was fine.

They still adapting to the new situation here in catalunia, it was very hot and dry and still have to developing sufficient rootsystem. But all are healthy, some scars and healing wounds, i let em do their healing. For you and your plants i wish the best. We are connected and the plants can take a lot. They live now in so many parts of the world and good people like you taking care of them.

...love those flowers - selenicereus

Drove with this tersch to catalunia,14-hours ride. We enjoyed very much. Now its time for rooting. He was cut off for over one year from his mother. Approx. 1,60m, 5 feet.

After a couple of weeks I came back to our garden, and this fellow just jumped into my heart and said “good mohning mate I missed you.“ He decided to get a face for a while. We send good vibes and love to all around the world. Thanks for sharing all about your plants and passion.

Thank you smithy.

Hi guys, bought that today and I am not sure if its clone A or anything else. Can you help me with that. Thanks.

You guys are great. I got it and understand, and thanks for clarifying this subject in detail. I love it and @change, yes sometimes there are offerings and I was unsure if the plants were labeled correct. A lot of uncertainty until now for me. Now I have a better understanding. I would love to find a database with clones and there history and it would be like having real ancestors in our garden if owning old clones/plants. Is there a source or database available anywhere you know guys?

Thank you all for your answers. I am new to this and it brought more light into it. This plant was taken from an old motherplant at Kakteen Haage in germany. If you call a plant a clone when its taken from a known mother plant, what means a known plant? In my understanding a clone is taken just from a motherplant and is identical to it. Kakteen Haage did not have a name for the motherplant and I was searching for a closer ID and stepped over the clone a and b and c naming a I am confused with that A, b and c. I have some plants from the wild without a name, taken from another person and I would call it a clone, but unknown, what makes it known? Just give it a name? I have other clones, like “clone two“, motherplant collected in peru. Why is this a “real“ clone? Thank you for sharing your knowledge guys.

Thanks for sharing this. I will see what the first winter will bring, the statistics are good, but you never know whats coming. I learn a lot from the plants and from nature and I will share these experiences.

Yes the growth is different and after i have mine 3 month in the ground they react very positive with vigorous growth. I can leave them in the ground over winter. Do I get it right, you dig em out before winter? What are you doing then with em?

Hi Inyan, thanks for sharing your experience. Currently I sow them in germany and transplant them in the ground in catalunya, where the climate is different. It is new for us (cactus and me) because we have this new property only since january. We are very lucky and I am experimenting. I dont want to risk to.much. When (which age, which time of the year) do you transplant them in the ground?

Seedlings 8 month old and in boxes. Different varieties from zellys seeds 2016. TPM x Scop is growing nicely on own roots. They will be planted in the ground in spring 2018. New seeds from zelly are waiting for germination. I will begin sowing them in september. Then the sun and the temps are just perfect for germination and in winter I will grow them under LED.

Thanks Meangreen, I started to bring them down in february, step by step and have put them in different locations, so they have different conditions of light, soil. We all love it there and until now everything grows fine after the first phase of adaption. It is a big difference growing them in spain and in the ground. The sun is more sunny there.

Short before the flower opens.

Prepared some small ones for the long ride from germany to catalunia. Put them on big boards and built a shelve for transportion in the car.They are now 18 months old and ready for the real sunshine and they will grow in the ground. No pots anymore for these little guys.

Peyote is flowering.

He is the one of this month. Before august ist coming. Grown from misplant seeds.
