heres another pic of the coro cacti plant...

yeah i did read on one of his auctions when someone else questioned the fact that it was a bridgesii that he had had it i.d by Graham Charles. have you got any pics of the mother plant? (when are going to see what you got from the auction lol) i got a mixture of i.ds when i posted a pic of my cut on here about a year ago,most saying peru with some commenting on the slight bridgesii tendencies.heres a pic of my as it is growing now...

yeah i wonder if thats why coro cacti have i.d their "bridgesii as bridgesii? when it clearly isnt a bridgesii

cheers thats a good sized list of movies! have any of you aussies seen old nz movies such as -came a hot friday -smash palace -good by pork pie peter jacksons early work -meet the feebles -brain dead -bad taste id have to say my favourite actor of all time is bruno lawrence, he was in a few good aussie films too.

no i dont think it damage the plant,i put sulphur on all my lophs that i have cut pups off for grafting and it doesnt harm the plant.red spider mites are one of the uses advertised on the bag of sulphur that i bought from the garden center so it should work well. all my experience dealing with spider mites is on mj plants,and they can be pretty damn resilient. if your soil is really infested(they live in the soil and come out to eat your plants)normal treatments with neem oil,pyrethrin etc wont do the job.but what does knock them back as a last resort is aeresole fly/insect spray with pryrethin added.sounds weird but its safe on plants and really works.

hi pacha,sulphur powder is good to fight against red spider mites.dust the soil and the plants.

hi teotz,do you have any knowledge of its traditional use in asia before it arrived in the americas? if not,then i think its use in the americas is of more interest ,therefore the argument over its arrival is fairly unimportant?

thanks yeti

anyone heard of this pyschotria species before? cant even find a mention of vegeliana on the web.

hi,i took the pics at a local botanical gardens,im wondering if its just been mislabelled?

hi bit,yep that brand is from the 'PALMERS" garden centers.

hi,im going to be grafting ario retusus plants soon,can someone advice me roughly where to cut on this one i have uploaded a pic of. cheers

nothing beats sulphur powder for sealing the cuts,its 100% foolproof in my experience,and it speeds up the calousing process too. cheap as at your local garden center ( i got mine from palmers),the last bag i bought was a brand called "tui"in a yellow packet and they called it flowers of sulphur.one bag for $10 will lst you a year or two at least.

i dont know what they are called but have had them on some cactus before,the ants farm them on the cactus.i squash the lavae things and spray the plant with water to try and clean it.be carfeful what sprays you use as some can scar the plant and make it look ugly.

cuttings are readily availible in nz,if you wernt already aware they sell on trademe and sella..... http://www.sella.co.nz/general/home-living/outdoor-garden-conservatory/search-salvia/

hi,i wouldnt recommend the party pills,ever since the ban on bzp based products a few years ago the active ingredients of the new range of pills have remained a mystery,with nasty side efeects experienced by lots of buyers.i agree with the government that new party pills should have to have alot more research done on them before being able to be sold here,who really knows whats in them?

and remember salvia is legal here so you can buy all strengths of salvia products from local headshops

for a forum thread discussing active shrroms,id and locations... http://www.tripme.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=235 nz members of the shroomery should be your best bet for solid info though.... http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7144725#7144725 for fungi and shrooms in general... http://www.fungi.co.nz/

looks like some crazy multi pupping monstrose action to me

1. is a columnar growth from the nz crested pachanoi strain

ok cool thanks kada

thanks kada,so do you mean on the top line of that box, or the center of it were it says cut here? thanks mutant,yours and other members grafts have inspired me to get into grafting.

thanks for all the replys. im still pretty keen to graft a few as i have no shortage of them at the moment. ive got a small pachanoi with multiple branches that im planning on grafting some turb's,astro's,ario's,lophs and obregonias all onto the one plant to make a frankencacti.

hi,is it possible to upload pics to a PM? or do you have to just add a link to a album pic? cheers
