sobriquet Posted November 17, 2006 Here's a picture of a Cereus peruvianus monstrose I'd picked up a while ago from the good old "B" store. It's grown a fair bit and I'm planning to take cuttings from the rightmost parts not part of the main stem when I get around to it. Anyone else have any monstrose cacti they want to share pictures of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bit Posted November 17, 2006 Here's mine, not as nice looking as you others. I hope to get a multi-headed one in the future: 6 weeks ago the tip was like this: Now, check out the blue growth, about 5 inches in 6 weeks!!! Thanks to the weather warming up, and being inside a small greenhouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaBReT00tH Posted November 19, 2006 wow, cereus peruvianus monstrose are cooool. My cutting just sprouted roots, no growth yet still after months. Can't wait till its roots settle in though!! Fast growth from these pics looks promising! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mescalito Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Sorry I haven't cropped the pic for the 56k'rs but you can see my cereus monstrose cutting in the middle and it took nearly 3 years to start gowing so don't be worried....shame dad took his digi cam back home as she's powering on now finally. (i can get more cuts though ;-) ) Piss on them at least twice a week Any reports on activity?

wisemonkey Posted November 21, 2006 I have some massive cuttings that I'd really love to get rid of. They are in pretty poor condition but I would love for somebody to take them off my hands. Dont think the post office would take them so it would have to be a local pick-up. I was told by the owners who were thrfowing them in a dumpster they would be unlikely to grow however.
