Bridgisii 6 to 5 and finally 4 ribs, with two pups breaking through, wonder if they will be 4 ribbers, probably not? Confused roots? Lots o pups Pimples? Pach going to 4 ribs wondering if this is a pach or scop or not?

I've seen a few Trichos that were getting full sun started to look similar to that. Particularly Eileen, when moved so they get less light, they went back to normal after about a week.

Good point tst, I'll give it the chop tomorrow, and see how it goes. I'd hate to be a mug How about another quick question, Is it possibe to 'out grow' a clone? ie: If said cactus only grows to 3m and you take the tip of that column, plant it and so forth, will it get to the point where it won't grow anymore or really slowly? Had a search but wasn't really sure what I was looking for. Just, I have a few clones, some grow heaps (50+cm) and some barely at all (2cm), all are planted in the ground in the same part of the garden. The growing cacti don't seem to be in any one area, rather spread out among the non growers. Or could this just be because of poorly prepared beds? ie; Didn't mix compost in evenly?

Not sure but those ribs look a little thin to be a Tricho. Baby Cereus maybe. I'm just a noob IDer so that's just a guess....

Just a quick question. If you have a variegated cactus and it thows pups from an ariole that is variegated, the pup should continue to be variegated? Well, if you cut out the semi monstrose part of the above cacti and root it, would pups from that cut be semi monstrose? Is some experimentation in order, or is this just a dumb question?

Yeah man, hope you feel better soon.

Saliva swabs or that wand thing that swabs your clothes (like the bomb one at the airport) ?

hehe momomoto that ones from bunnings too. Thanks Michael, much appreciated. Just to help my ID skills, what about it makes it a hybrid? Had the choice between this or a pach, glad I grabbed this one. Something a bit different for the collection

..pockets for later and...

Just an update on the 4 rib Bridge, now back to five after some interesting growth.

How the weather has been, I was watering every day. I got worried about rootrot so I put them in the ground, now I only need to water once maybe twice every two weeks. When I removed them from pots I didn't see any sign of root rot.

Wondering if plants are available in Australia? Found a few US sites that sell plants but couldn't seem to track down any au sources... Would like to grow one if so, anyone know where I could get one? Here is some info : Frankincense Tree Scientific Name: Boswellia sacra Flueck.
