I have seen this method done on you tube. I dont like what is in superglue not good for the plant or for the person that may choose to consume it one day. Not recommended in my book. I have heard of people sniffing superglue but not eating it. I wonder if it effects the plants chemisty in any way?

I just got one on the weekend Teotz mine is Turinicarpus Schmiedickeanus very small and slow growing but a awesome cactus. The guy that sold it to me didnt really want to part with it, but he knows its in good hands with me!

Please post the pic Teotz. I want everyone to check them out. I am sure they are a hybrid of the two! Super peruv & bridgesii

Doesn't look to inviting! Maybe vampires would like these mushrooms

When I take cuttings I put them straight into a bucket that has perlite in it and them leave them in my wardrobe. They seem to do really well when this is done. I have taken cuttings in winter and left them in the cubboard for a month or 2 and they heal up nicely, this also helps them to root quickly. Dont stress to much they will be fine. Perlite is good give it a try it will keep the cut end from rotting and stop bacterial infections.

I have eaten may different cacti fruit on many different occasions and never got sick. I have one cactus that fruits all year round and are small fruit that look the same as loph's fruit they are a little bitter but are suppose to have lots of vitamin C, well thats what I was told any way. I aslo eat prickly pear and dragon fruit and the apple cactus fruit they are all really nice. I know that all of these fruits are fine to consume and are expensive to buy. There are some web site that state all the cacti that are fruit bearers that are know to be ok for consumption.

I wanna get all these strains/ hybrids of the bridgesii. Very nice collection!!! What is the differnce in the strains? I want to start add these babies to my collection!!!

Cool pic Teotz, mine look different to your one as it looks just like preuv with hudge spikes that is blue but not true blue. My preuv has little spikes just like the pedro. I will be happy to email you a pic Ace so you can get your cactus porn!

Cool pics!!! Well I read on this forum that the original loph's were white. We all have weird family and its no different for the loph's. They are a awesome cactus in any colour!!!

I have heard of Birds pecking them and even pulling them out and eating them. Once a bird gets the taste for loph's they will come back to finish the others be warned about birds!!!!

I want a white loph!!!

Hi Everyone I have just received some Ariocarpus seeds. I have 4 different varieties Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus Ariocarpus Retusus Ariocarpus Fissuratus Ariocarpus Frigonas Does anyone have some tips on spouting these babies as I wanna try not to waste a seed as I only have 25 of each.

Thanks Jack

Thanks VM I will take your advise.

Hi Guys & Gals I have some orange spots on a few of my cacti. I was just wondering what is the best way to get rid of these spots. I have sprayed a little bit of fungicide on the one that are infected. I will post some pics in the next day or 2. I love mushroom fungi but not these little orange suckers. Is there any better way then to treat them with copper sulfate fungicide? and a more natural way with a certain herb? One is a pedro and the other is a loft, a few of my grafting mediums also have it Any advise is greatly appericated. Thanks form Sharxx101

Trichocereus pachanoi is my pedro, and my grafting mediums are perskopis you can guess what i meant by loft. should have been a loph. they are small orange spots I have photos but this site doesn't seem to let me up load them. Thanks for the advise guys, I will cut them out as they are tiny and dont want them to spread. Is there any natural fungicide as I dont like to spray harsh chemicals on my babies. Thanks for the info. I am still a newbie to this site and trying to figure out how everything works. Thanks again
