GoOnThen Posted October 2, 2009 Hi All A couple of pics of my new additions from boot sale and other members My initial thoughts were to plant the cuts as they are but after many hours of reading I decided to cut them into approximately 300 mm cuttings I think I have caught the cactus bug is there any help for me or am I done for. Any thoughts on IDs Third photo identified as Eileen the one in the pot as super pedro Should I cut this out or see what happens as it calluses ?

Micromegas Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Sweet find GoOnThen, some very nice cuttings there from the car boot sale. The first looks like a nice blue T.peruvianus, second T. pachanoi and the third looks like a T. bridgessii. Nice plants, esp. the blue peruvianus. The one in the pot looks like a hybrid maybe peruvianus X pachanoi but I'm only guessing. Nice plant tho. I personally would not have cut them at all and planted as is but they grow either way. Re: the wounded one, I would just let it callous rather than cutting again, it will heal over as it dries i imagine. And no, apparently once bitten, there is no reliable cure for the cactus bug Edited October 2, 2009 by Micromegas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illustro Posted October 2, 2009 In the first pic i would say.. Left: pach x bridgesii Mid: long spine pach Right: pach All the rest look like different pachanoi variants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharxx101 Posted October 3, 2009 Looks like Rosei! Def a peru! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted October 3, 2009 I just couldn’t help myself they are all amazing cuts but the big sucker (Rosie?) was a must have. It was I bit bigger but I traded a piece with Fenris? I did chop them up into smaller cuttings and now with the other cuts from the boot sale my collection is about 10 x bigger than it was. We just need winter to piss off and get some more warm weather so in a few weeks when I plant my babies they can go straight outside. Im sure all the West Aussie guys gave me IDs on all of the cuts but by the time I got home I was only positive on Mike and Bruce and Im worried I have mixed them up. Thanks for the input guys Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Turkey Posted October 4, 2009 are you able to post a pic of them??? ill should be able to reconize "mike" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxydiser Posted October 6, 2009 My lord, I forgot how massive that middle cut was - the 2L coke bottle looks puny next to it! GoOnThen, it was better that you cut them now - if you propagate like crazy for the first year or so you can plant all the pups out and let them grow to their full glory! Just goes to show what a 40cm pot with good cacti mix in it and plenty of sun and water can do for any trich! Anywho, after examining the mother plants from the cuts I gave you, the two unknown strains (from the first pic) are ex-SAB clones. The pach-looking is most likely "lance" but the middle gargantuan I cannot find the name for. It was offered for sale ~ 3-4 years ago and it was a little more $$ due to the degree of blueness that the clone develops - I'm pretty sure it had a feminine name. Perhaps Torsten could shed some light of the subject in place of my shambolic labeling system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks Oxy the provider of legend cuts. When you lugged these out of your car we were all truly amazed at the size and quality of you offerings. Its all good with the ID's I’m just happy to have such great looking cacti. are you able to post a pic of them??? ill should be able to reconize "mike" The cactus I think is Mike is only a small cutting that is just starting to pup I think that one came from Gilligan? For my new found addiction I have a big stack of labels and a heap of big pots. Now I have just got to get them planted. All input is much appreciated Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOnThen Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for that PD I can’t believe how addictive cacti are first thing I do in the morning and when I get home from work is check on my babies. I had told my self no more cacti until next year but that lasted about a week. I am already chasing down new cuttings. Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was sold to me as macro, hunab, hence it followed suit, and i've still got it tagged as a macro. Seems the two get interchanged all the time, as they're pretty similar...

Hah...I just saw this...no I don't think I was ripped off at all,..I sweet as and don't sweat about such things.. just clarified the ID of the plant is all...it's still a kick ass plant for sure..actually bought a seed grown peruvian off e-bay some 4 months ago and when it arrived I discovered it too was a cuzco...the pics showed it being a very nice peruvian..but alas it was a cuzco too.
