☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) gah , had to operate... one of the leaning pachanoi leaned so far that it fell over , luckily didnt bust its arse too badly but decided to slice off the curly root stump , [which was tryna do a U-turn down there or something]... and clean up , which took a whole hour commencing in 30+C [till i had to open windows- i know, how shocking!] ....because someone thought it was an excellent idea to build a wall out of all my stuff in front of them.... luckily it was pretty much only kitty litter all over the place ....just cant get the fkn staff these days ... upsized a taquimbo to a larger pot ... fed well ... erm... a pereskiopsis that i had almost given up on started sprouting ... better add some pics eh? two of my trichos started looking suspiciously more and more like eachother... perhaps one isn't knuthianus after all?

[black square pots] i guess this is my first real cactus growing season with actually doing everything right by the plants and it's highly rewarding that theyre so beautiful with their "happiness growth",, *biggest hugs to all you SABbers and a few extra folk for sharing the love and guidance with the cacticalities* Edited July 3, 2015 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohcactusisgood Posted July 4, 2015 Thankfully my grafting stock rebounded in the last few weeks. So I grafted my boscana "fred" to a piece of panachoi, and some Lophs to panachoi/pereskiopsis. Hopefully will get some growth this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinegapcontrol Posted July 18, 2015 potted up a stack of seedlings, put down another stack of seed. finally got everything ive received from peeps on here planted. Two nights of negative temps coming up..hope the cacti gods are smiling at me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted July 18, 2015 One of my scops got too top heavy for the soft soil it's in. It's also been raining for about 2.5 weeks here. So I stood it back up and stomped the ground down, put a pole up to make sure it didn't fall over again. I might cut it about 30cm from the ground in spring and re-root the fatter part elsewhere and let the stump pup instead of leaving it like this for the longer term. Also pulled out a bunch of weeds from some cactus and sprayed some weeds in amongst the pavers so they won't drop seed into the pots. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) My biggest seed grown bridgesii faced the same problem I tried balancing it with rocks until the season is over, but I failed big time. So re-potted it and buried 3rd of it Edited July 19, 2015 by Philocacti 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted July 19, 2015 rocks work wonders when repotting, but when a tricho gets rootbound the roots push the pot and the column leans, rootball slides.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
