Ace Posted April 17, 2007 Just stunning Jack!! Absolutely picture perfect specimens Might I ask where you managed to find such beautiful plants in this genus? I am planning on branching out to arios and aztekiums over the next 12 months, but dont really have much of a starting point... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rev Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) beautiful plants Ariocrpus take some work seed ie expensive and CITES listed seed batches vary greatly in quality they are hard to graft to pereskiopsis they are slow to grow and juveniles seem far less forgiving than lophs even though the adults seem more forgiving but that just makes me want them more :D i have only 2 A retusus but they are at a stage where they grow themselves id love to buy more if you know a source Edited April 17, 2007 by Rev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amanito Posted April 20, 2007 Nice. I hade a small ariocarpus fissuratus last year with four flowers on it. I really like the ariocarpus spp. flowers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted April 22, 2007 i think grafting older seedlings is more advisable. as in perhaps a year old? also seems like clumnar cacti are the rootstocks of choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) arios seems everyones caught the ario bug. beautiful plants jack. im currently germing a few thousand fissuratus.retusus and kotch-will be interesting to see the survival rates at end of year. Are two months old now and growing well. Will put pics up as soon as i get a digital camera. Ive really had no probs thus far touch wood. Seed is so much cheaper to import from the u.s than get seed over here in australia, and i was suprised at how much seed is out there. they are simply a georgeous plant with fantastic flowers edit-that retusus pic has just downloaded. that plant is sexy. love the pale pink(is it? or is it white, or are my eyes rooted?) one of my favourite colors in flowers. If u like pale pinks u should check out echinocereus blankii(u have pics t?) torsten has plants for sale im sure-those flowers are unbelievabable. wicked in hanging baskets.
