Magicdirt Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) I've been lurking here for a while and now I can post I wanted to ask a question. My local nursery has a cactus that looks a lot like a San Pedro but it is labeled "Euphorbia" They had it sitting right next to a Lophophoria of some sort It is definetley a cactus and not a euphobia. Does any know if San pedros are commonly labeled incorrectly. A local hardware store also has a few interesting ones one was Tricocereus pasacana, could this be active ?

dworx Posted May 2, 2010 Anything is possible, Does it bleed white sap?? pinch or nick its skin? Alternative buy it and post pics or just grow it out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingaNinja Posted May 2, 2010 dont forget the euphorbia family is VERY varied. take pics in the shop if you worried about wasting money. Also I dont think it would have been lophophora that you think you saw. big W isnt really in the loph market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted May 2, 2010 Also I dont think it would have been lophophora that you think you saw. big W isnt really in the loph market that cool. Fixed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicdirt Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks for the help The one labelled lophophora didn't look like any I've seen so I thought that was the wrong label as well or someones idea of a joke. I might have to go and take a few pics. Is the white sap an indication of active properties ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micromegas Posted May 2, 2010 Is the white sap an indication of active properties ? No the white sap is an indication that what you bought is a euphorbia and it's poisonous... A local hardware store also has a few interesting ones one was Tricocereus pasacana, could this be active ? If you find one of these your should buy it. It's the largest of all trich and quite a stunning plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
