gilligan Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Almost looks like new growths (pups?) to me... mind you, i haven't seen crested loph new growth before, so only assuming this. Nice crest either way, how old is that one? Have you had it long? Edited March 28, 2008 by gilligan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted March 28, 2008 Very interesting! This could be some viral, mycological or bacterial infection! Maybe your cactus has herpes?!? bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted March 28, 2008 Yeah sorta looks like pups but i do'nt think they are, they do'nt look to be coming out of areoles, are they? & tey just do'nt look right. Fucking bizzare what ever it is, perhaps some sort of monstrose growth? the white stuff, did u have spider mites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted March 28, 2008 i'm not much of a cactii gardener but i reckon it has taken up too much water, which has erupted as blisters. it looks similar to that when it happens to normal plants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garbage Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Err wool? I would say you have discovered a disease new to science,the accolades can't be too soon in coming. Other option not yet mentioned are nematodes,there could be somebody living in there,or somewhat reluctant Chimerical growth. Reluctant in that it needed an external stimuli for it's presence to be seen,which brings us to the concept of Cactus Cancer...
