Pronouncing 'pachanoi'

[Pronouncing 'pachanoi']

I used to say 'patch-annoy' and then someone told me "no, its actually pronounced 'pack-annoy'.

Then years later an older Chilean cactiphile said to me "no, its pronounced 'pack-a-know-y".

So that's how I now pronounce it.

Apparently it was just a problem with the DNS server that was fixed and took a cpl of days to re-route.

[Spores to Syringe]

If its spore print, scrape spores carefully into a shot glass/egg cup or of the likes using the tip of a clean blade. Using a sterile syringe full of sterile water, shoot some water into the shot glass. Suck up the spores. You want to empty the whole syringe into the shot glass and suck the water back up trying to get it all back in.

It's best done in 'one fell swoop'.

It takes some practice to get the hand of it.

If print is on foil, glass slide, or a petri dish you can shoot some of the fluid from the syringe back on to the print and into the shot glass, to get to the last of the spores.

Once you're happy with the amount of spores you've captured in the syringe, you can empty it back into the shot glass, and then suck the multispore (MS) solution back into the syringe, do this a few times. 2 or 3 times will suffice. This helps to separate the spores as they love to clump together.

You now have a multispore syringe 

Just keep in mind that MS syringes usually do carry a few contaminants with them.

Hi, a friend of mine asked me what i knew of Yowies.  Not that much beyond wiki, they seem to be mostly a central coast/ hinterland phenomenon.

Does anyone have a take on Yowies theyd like to share.  Myths, origins, dreamtime stories, opinions or otherwise.

 

Yowie or Yahweh? ;)

[Some albino 'menchaca' loph seedling porn]

So I was lucky enough to sprout one of these bad boys, this is my 1st albino loph seedling after 15 years of growing them so not only am I excited but I'm thinking it's also about damn time! 

And in celebration of that I thought I would share some pics of the albino menchaca specimen with you all.

It has been grafted onto peres.

 

I'll post some updates from time to time.

I dont mind if it turns variegate just as long as it doesn't revert back to green haha fingers crossed.

 

Cheers

thats just root rot. cut off the healthy segments, leave them not planted until they are dry and calloused and put out some new roots, then replant them in a couple months with less water / fert.

 

Agreed.

To speed up the process in situations like this, I like to get a small finger nail sized paint brush and brush on some clonex to the base to promote speedy root formation.

Pm'd thanks!

[Ebay - T.peruvianus or is it?]

this will be done by proffesionals or not at all

Agreed! For this to be chopped up, is almost criminal...

The seller shouldnt let it be hacked up either!

One of this size needs to be moved with respect, and also with some roots still intact! I stress this.

Good luck to the winner. It wont be a cheap or brisk task.
