#2 is possibly Pachycereus marginatus, and #3 I'd say a Pilosocereus seedling, hard to say for sure at that size.

I have seen a few pictures online that look similar, could be another species of Desmodium maybe. I know someone else who's a vendor and has stocked what was sold to him as P. pulchellum, I'll ask him some pics.
Chamomile tea is an option for antifungal treatment, both soaking the seeds in it and watering with it. I might try that. Still no signs of germination here either on the 5 I sowed for my first try.

Damn, that's interesting, yours look different from both mine and the ones from the shroomery. Here's the pic that was posted (not the best admittedly):
I'm definitely confident in Julian's ID, that's why I'm confused about the others. Only one way to know though, grow them out!
If you look closely in this picture from his talk you can discern some greenish pods that do seem to look like the seeds I have. On the right of the pic coming out of the round parts that look opened:

Can you guys please post pics of your seeds and specify whether or not you got them from Julian? Someone on the shroomery bought seeds and they look different.
Here are mine, from Julian:

Desmodium pulchellum is one of the former names of Phyllodium pulchellum I believe.
Here are the synonyms listed on wikipedia:
- Desmodium pulchellum (L.) Benth.
- Hedysarum pulchellum L. (basionym)
- Meibomia pulchella (L.)
Apparently they sowed straight to soil, after treating the seeds with fungicide.

There is a published paper on Phyllodium pulchellum germination here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237019129_Seed_germination_of_two_medicinal_plants_Desmodium_Pulchellum_L_Benth_and_D_Triflorum_L_DC
Pretty promising, they got sprouts in 4 days apparently.

Nice thanks, that's what I was planning to try. I put 5 seeds to soak overnight at the moment, will sow them tomorrow.
Any sprouts yet?

So it begins...

An online friend recently went to the Peruvian Amazon and brought back seeds of Banisteriopsis rusbyana, Banisteriopsis muricata and Alicia anisopetala. He sent me a few of each, so far only the B. rusbyana have sprouted.
All the info I can find points to B. rusbyana being synonymous with D. cabrerana. I asked him about that and this is what he said:
"I believe the original botanical description of diplo cab fits the rusbayana. I know folks in Peru and Brazil that tell me they are different plants. It doesnt help that "chaliponga" can mean many different plants depending on where you are. Check out my post on sept 18th on the Mallachts page, I have photos of the plants in question. Welcome to the 'diploponga' confusion!"
Here is a picture of the exact plant the seeds I have were harvested from:
And pics from the same trip of a plant he identified as D. cabrerana but didn't bare seeds at the time:
Picture of the B. rusbyana seeds & compared to B. caapi var. caupuri seeds:
And my seedlings so far, one striking difference is that those have very meaty cotyledons, whereas I don't remember ever seeing cotyledons on caapi.

Very nice plant bardo, do you have a pic of the flowers?
-
Nice! First flower of the season?
Nothing to do with the previous fruits though, you'll get a fruit from this one in a month or so.
I swear if you were to attach a label to end of the season flowers you'd see the fruits you get in spring come from them.
-
Thank you! Yeah I had 12 sprouts out of 20 seeds on those. But on the fricii x koehresii F2 I had only one sprout out of 10, which I grafted.
-
If they've been overwintered properly, kept dry and hibernated then most definitely. The plant doesn't have the energy to push the fruit once it's going dormant so it just waits until it gets water sun and warmth.
-
Great job on following up every day Inyan.
Here are mine from that cross, I thought I had grafted one but I went through my grafts and I only found a fricii x koehresii. I might wait until next spring to graft a few of those. They're about 70 days old, sowed on the 1st of August.

Those fruits most likely came from flowers that opened late last season. Every spring I get tons of fruits from that, before any flower opens.

Herbalistics has seeds and plants available

Just to be clear these are Myrtillocactus geometrizans, not Trichocereus in case you thought they were.
They look fairly healthy, since you're going into winter now I would wait until Spring before taking cuttings.
Your best bet is probably to order seeds if you can't find Tricho cuttings locally.

4 hours ago, Inyan said:
Today... I removed the parafilm wax from a few of my grafts.
Smallish specimen here is a Lophophora w. x L. fricii. Anyone else growing these? Very nice Inyan!
Yeah I also grow both hybrids Koehres has on offer, fricii x koehresii F2 and williamsii x fricii.
Still too small to show anything interesting, I have one of each grafted, about the same.size as yours.

Awesome! actually ordered from you last year already, super healthy plants

Looking for someone willing to ship any of these cuts to Europe, I've already imported cacti from Aus with no problems.
Just putting it out there, please PM me if you're able to help

Yeah I think things are getting a bit crazy...
edit: wow what were the odds I take the screenshot at exactly 5:55 & 55 seconds

I'd say Crassula sp. (maybe ovata)

Received and potted up some very nice and very cheap degrafts from China today, pretty pumped
Group pic
Lophophora fricii cv. Takenaka
Blossfeldia liliputana, the biggest clump of the two but both are huge by Blossfeldia standards
Variegated Lophophora williamsii var. caespitosa
Unexpected freebie variegated Coryphantha elephantidens
All for less than $50 shipped, I love these guys

Nice thread guys, here's a little timelapse on some seedling grafts I did back in early April. CJ x Sharxx and Clyde x Chalaensis.
May 27th:
June 27th
July 26th
(CJ x Sharxx on the far right & Clyde x Chalaensis far left, Rosei 1 x Scop in the middle x2)
August 13th
The slight variegation on those CJ x Sharxx seedlings is more apparent in this pic
August 27th (Clyde x Chalaensis at the back)
And here's a tray of grafts I did last week, lots of albino/variegates from Zelly's VRG crosses, will post some updates

Research better, it doesn't get much more legit than that considering Sam is the one who grew out the original CSD from seed and named & spread the clone.
