Only number 3 is left.

[SOLD 3 Trichocereus Crest Variants]

For sale I have 3 different Trichocereus Crest variants, I didn't label any of them so who knows what the parents are. I do know however all the seed came from Nitrogen in one way or another and these have been grown over the last 3 years.

From left to right in the picture below;

1. Variegated Tricho Crest, this one grows compact but with good vigor. This is the first time I have sold or traded this plant.

2. Nice blue Tricho Crest, grows very very large and throws normal branches every now and then. The powder on it is sulfur. I have traded this one before but not sold.

3. This one is slightly Variegated and grows and appears similar to the first but with less variegation. $120 or offer

For size indication the biggest one (3) is 15cm across.

[Still cant root degrafts]

Yes Zelly has the right idea, put them in good conditions/environment and forget about them. If they haven't thrown roots in the next week or so it could be a long wait until it warms up

The Crest is SOLD.

[SOLD - More Cacti For Sale]

[SOLD - More Cacti For Sale]

Just the Blossfeldia left.. no takers ? $40

[Lophophora fruit with weird texture]

It is not unusual for cacti to have fruits with hair or spines protruding, however, I have not personally noticed them on any of my Lophophora. Maybe it is just a one off ?

Did the fruit contain seed?

[SOLD - More Cacti For Sale]

For sale I have a couple of cuttings and a few plants, I will add more when/if these sell. Postage will be extra. Send me a PM to secure the plant.

3. Blossfelida Liliputana $50 $40 ?

Grafted to a small Trichocereus Peruvianus. This plant has been grafted for over 2 years and the stock is getting tired, it will need a degraft at some point next growing season. A few cosmetic marks but it is in good health.

4. Lopho Williamsii grafted to Pach, this is a piece from the CV Kikko that is in my avatar, a really nice plant and is about 60mm diameter (including pups) -

Grows with good vigor and is resistant to bacteria and disease. Grows long slender branches that routinely go in and out of monstrose growth similar to that of Lophocereus Schotii Monstrose.

2. Another section from the plant above, this time with 4 ribs. 25cm length. $30

BOTH OF THE CUTS TOGETHER

[Cuttings from Cajabamba]

My guess is it should bloom in about 4 days. Cuttings that flower are a bit strange, they will abort the flower at any and can be difficult to pollinate and set seed. Once the fruit is set they will drop the fruit early at random. Mature/established plants rarely do this unless under enormous stress.

[should 1-2 cm cacti seedlings be totally dry in winter?]

I water my seedlings all winter just less often. They still need water just not as often or as much at the one time. With the temps you describe I would water them monthly during winter, just be sure they are not getting water from any other source I.e a drip from the roof of the greenhouse etc.

Additionally, I try and not get the body of the plant wet by using bottom watering etc

[Tall Loph Seedlings]

Yep completely normal mate, you are thrown off because when you see mature plants the tap root is below the surface, with seedlings this is not the case until you repot them.

[Lophophora head-splitting phenomena]

Strange, I find grafted plants will split more but I've not had this happen often.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

Another A. Retusus with minor Cauliflower trait.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

A. Fissuratus Hybrid Variegated

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

Im with you. i have a huge little green dot collection. 10 month old ariocarpus from 4 different species/subspecies.

De-grafting ariocarpus has been reported to be very very hard. what was your method? with aztekium hey actually require a slight amount of moisture to root and not shrivel up. WB ariocarpus?

how many ariocarpus plants do you have roughly? if my count is right i have at least 25.

I have an Ariocarpus which i want you to take a look at. It is a natural Twin ariocarpus trigonus. it came up from seed with a little side shoot dwarf twin. it has grown some. this picture is about 2 months old making the plant 8 months old in this picture i believe.

I had minor sun stress in the early months of winter while i was working under artificial light, but they recovered fine.

Is the bottom little pup attached ? Looks like two seedlings, one having germinated recently.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

@ Billy, I grow nearly all my plants from seed, this plant was grown from seed and grafted to Hylocereus after 20days. It was degrafted last season and is growing on its own roots now.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

@ Billy, The Bravoanus is also a hybrid and I don't know what the father was unfortunately

Here is a nice Ariocarpus Retusus CV Cauliflower, which is starting to show the trait more as it matures, I hope it continues in this fashion.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

I definitely prefer Hylocereus, It grows fast and performs well for both seedling and advanced grafts. The only exception is Lophophora SP, they don't like Hylocereus for some reason, so I graft them to Trichocereus.

[Ariocarpus appreciation thread.]

One of two of mine flowered recently;

A. Retusus

A. Bravoanus

A.Retusus

A. Fissuratus hybrid

[Koehres seeds]

I personally don't like Köhres and this is not due to how the business is run, it is run quite well and they are for the most part honest in their dealings. However, I have had many seeds that are either mislabeled or just completely different to what the label says. This is true for Trichocereus, Ariocarpus and Astrophytum, I will not buy from them again.

[The colored San Pedro Flower Project]

I have a plant I believe to be Trichocereus Tarijensis growing in my front yard it is about 6 years old from seed and still quite small. No sign if flowers yet.....

[Ariocarpus fruit ????]

Good job Philo. I get between 20 and 60 seeds per Ario fruit. The older and more mature the plant is, generally, you get more seed.

I find grafted plants will produce less seed in the beginning but more after a few years.

[Trichocereus Cuttings]

Sold thanks everyone.

[Trichocereus Cuttings]

Hi,

For sale I have 3 x Nice Trichocereus Cuttings. I'm not including specific subspecies or "named' clone details in this on purpose, I feel there is way too much emphasis on this and i want people to buy them based on knowledge and beauty, not a superficial name. That being said these do have names and are very attractive plants when mature.

Sold as one lot, will postage extra. Asking $50 ono, PM me.

[Trichocereus grandiflorus c.v.s]

Really nice plants mate

I have a few different varieties growing myself, I'm growing them all from seed so still probably a year or so before flowers.

I've also got a couple of "Trichopsis" that should flower soon, can't wait to see the flowers on them.
