I moved it into more shade for spring and have been watering weekly. Over winter it just got rain, which was not much.

Hi cactus people just wondering if anyone has seen this before? its a T.peru seedling which is expressing a mutation reminiscent of M. geometrizans boobs. Still early days... Just before this new growth emerged there seems to be an infection of the meristem. The spines came out distorted, bent and subsequently fell out leaving a ring of damaged areoles. looks like there's some deformed ribs halfway down too....any ideas?

Good cactus nursery in Greater Sydney area
lophty_tricho replied to Marcel's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Hey Marsel, I'm in most days, always enjoy having a chat about our spiny friends, just ask for Mike. -
Its hard to make out the charcoal in material in the photos, I spose I associate black with wet humusy material.

Nice one, the pale colour could indicate a lack of light- but that's how they look when they first emerge too. Looks like a pretty organic medium you have there, should be fine if your planning to graft in the next couple of months or so

Good cactus nursery in Greater Sydney area
lophty_tricho replied to Marcel's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Hi, I work at Newtown Garden Market on King St. We have a pretty good selection of cacti, Mostly hamiltons stock, some paradisia and my least favorate, dans cactus. We have some TBMs, pachanoi, candicans. We have a strange hairy echenopsis cultivar from japan called 'Haku Joe' looks like a good candidate for crossing with some of our fav trichos. We also have some mytillocactus and a few crests including a Monvilea spegazzi. Worth a look for sure, cheers. -
Coffee grinds spread at the bace of the plants can be effective in warding off those slugs and snails, they hate caffeine

Yeah, Sola I think its possible to graft all members of the family,though some are more condusive to fast growth. Cheers blowng & eatfoo. Thanks to herbalistics & ferret for the scop x bridge. And to PD for making the tersheckii x Psycho0 if I assume correctly.

Advice on transplanting a large San Pedro?
lophty_tricho replied to snapdragon's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Put in larger pot with well draining soil... or in the ground, even better! -

Using Pereskia species as grafting stock
lophty_tricho replied to tripsis's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Looks like Pereskia to me, my gooseberry has hairs like that. Also the colour and shape of the spines is consistant with mine, although I do think it is a different species -
This has happened to a few of my grafts aswell, I think its caused by cutting through the growing point when the graft was made.

trichocereus population allele considerations
lophty_tricho replied to Gunter's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I like the ideas, but your seed is likley to come from very limited stock. Mabe even all from the same fruit. How can 500 cultivated seeds possibly reflect the complexity of wild population dynamics. So you tasted all 500? I don't get it that they fall into three types, M+-*. Like, should'nt there be more colour man, whow deep.
