strangebrew Posted February 26, 2009 Congradulations! Look as though they're your first. I got some as well but a few decided to stall just a day away from opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mufungo Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah these are the first flowers. They stalled for months after buds poked out back in October 08, then I noticed activity about 12 days ago, and the rest is history.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Would it be true to say that the buds were in shade for most of the summer but just recently started receiving sunlight again? Edited February 26, 2009 by strangebrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mufungo Posted February 26, 2009 Nah, actually it was in semi shade until about noon and then it got the full harsh sun right through the afternoon. None of my cacti liked that spot much. I repotted and moved them around to a spot where they get full sun from about 9am to 2pm and shade the rest of the time. They seem to be thriving now. The sun isn't as intense earlier in the day.

bit Posted February 26, 2009 Very nice. That's a pretty short pedro for one that flowers - is it a cutting from a much bigger plant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mufungo Posted February 26, 2009 I bought it maybe 4 or 5 years ago when it was a similar size to what it is now. It met with an unfortunate "accident" and the top was cut off with about 3 inches poking out of the ground. What you see there is a pup, about 4 or 5 years old..
