Update bump TBM: Spacemonkey $60 Bridgy seedlings: jebus $25 Eileen: tipz $15

no change........bump

I will update daily for a gratuitous bumpski. TBM: $55 via PM by Congojack T.Brigesii Seedlings: $15 by jebus Eileen: $15 by tipz Cheers

tipz, I would prefer the bridgies sold as a group but if you like a specific one then they are thus numbered 1,2 and 3 from left to right. Yes The TBM has a stunted base section that has the remnants of rot at the tip. It is not spreading. I took the photo with it clearly in view to give a true indication of condition. I can chop it if peeps prefer but never lost a cactus to rot so have always just let them heal themselves. jebus, Auction ends Next Tuesday when I log on in the morning.

All good turkey, I edited after posting as I had a few PMs asking what the price was, but I don't want to be greedy and thought i might aswell let the market decide. I suppose in hindsight i should have just put a price on them but after seeing a few TBMs going for crazy money I just don't know anymore!

Peres never worked for me. Osmotic pressure always seemed to pop the graft off irrespective of hydration levels and I found it hard to apply well directed pressure to such a small scion and base. As above, Trichs and small pups/1yo seedlings seem the best. I use T.Scopulicola as it has a tight vascular ring and you can pretty much position the scion and you are away. Also the strain i use is very robust and you can graft almost anything to it. Some tips i found to help: > Keep the pressure on the graft for at least 2 weeks > Pre cut the trich the week before so the flesh receedes/shrinks, and then shave off what you need to to get new flesh at grafting time > Keep the graft in as humid an environment as you can for 2 weeks after pressure released > Keep the graft out of the direct sun for several weeks post humidity chamber and signs of growth are present > chopped up stockings are excellent at securing grafts > Don't drink and graft

I think it is the best kept secret on the net Bit of assumed knowledge here though, T and the Nursery are great, end of discussion.

hey mate, 1st one looks like Trichocereus Spachianus 2nd one seems to be Cereus Peruvianus Nice specimens.

I'll check my mates plant tomorrow mate. No fruit that I have seen but flowers out the heezy. If I have time I will get a few cotton tips going and PM you.

I haven't cruised the link yet so sorry if its repeated or seems stupid. No A/C here either, all I can do is open the windows... all of them, in the cooler arvo conditions. Air flow is key, we humans have an inbuilt cooling system! Prior to that, during the heat I shut up shop and draw the blinds to stop the heat getting in in the 1st place. Whirlybirds are tops.

Crested Cylindro-opuntia Californica. I have one myself. Strange monstrose/crested growth pattern.

G'Day All, Just wondering if anyone had any spare material from their scelly plant that they wanted to part with. It doesn't have to be Tortuosum either, I just like the way it sounds to be honest. I have read that seed can be a little problematic so would prefer cuttings but beggars can't be choosers and I would be happy with anything really. Have some nice cacti strains if a trade is more your style also. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and thankyou...........Bongchitis

Thanks for the offer Gerbil and Sharx, much appreciated. I like my gardening but the seeds sound a little difficult. WT has hooked me up with some cuttings so I am all good. Cheers guys. Bong

I reckon it would be fine! Look great for a while but I think one cut will tend to dominate eventually and may stunt the others. Could try some sort of sub soil devider that ensures some kind of equality root space wise but the cereus will probably outgrow the pot in a couple of years anyway. If god were real to me I'm sure he would say fuck the ethics and plant the cacti.

Hi guys, Continuing to cull some of my collection and have a nice bit of T.Bridgesii var Psycho0 for sale. Rooted mid section about 15cm long with a pup around 30cm growing from it. Pretty good condition and chunky. Will be sent bare rooted. PM for more details, sorry no pic as my camera shit itself. Cheers...........Bongchitis

Sold! Cheers guys.

G'Day all, Got a spare cut of Eileen for sale. Hasn't had the best care but mum is healthy. $40 + $10 postage if anyone is interested. Sorry about the sideways pic. Cheers..... Bongchitis

It's fine if it doesn't have roots I think. Yours turkey if you want it.

bumpitty!

G'Day all, Due to a change in my personal circumstance I have a room available for someone to rent out. I would be very happy if a like minded person from here would be interested. House is in Campbelltown, NSW. PM for details. Cheers and thanks.............Bongchitis

Not a Maidenii! The phyllodes are far too wide and short!...even taking into account natural diversity.

Sounds good.......Thank you sir!
