Trichocybin Posted July 31, 2015 any better feeling than spotting a new pup? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) any better feeling than spotting a new pup? depends on the pup... I recently spotted a new pup in my Ariocarpus agavoides... yeah it rulez other amazing moments include sprouting of rare seeds, successful grafts, rooting a slow grower, seeing a flower for a first time and much more!

Brendo Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Yesterday I moved all my smaller Trichs out of my shed and into full sunlight. The shed has no front so it's a great place to store them as they receive afternoon sun and remain dry during Winter. Looking happy and ready for Spring Edited August 2, 2015 by Brendo 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) reunited with a few ole pals of mine potted up pachanoi 'USA' after discovering rooticles .. and had a pup that I seem to have induced the birth of ... whom I've been waiting since 2 summers ago for ... which was quite a long pregnancy !

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted August 9, 2015 I do love spotting a good pup but it slightly annoys me on an 'already skyrocketting' , 'main flowering column' plant ... like this one that I keep slicing them off of.. [hopefully that's not it tryna flower each time ] ...or when they keep re-occurring below my Aztekium ritterii graftages... ..and it was always beautiful music to my eyes to read cool SAB'ers having spare : "undesireable branch pups" ... mmmm :*] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted August 12, 2015 Weeding the onion weed out of this garden is like painting the harbour bridge. Most of these went in last spring, they're doing OK. Unfortunately I've cut all the bigger columns out over the last few months. Note hipster statues and crystals 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted August 14, 2015 had the occasion to chop up a stenocereus eruca, & boy what a surprise I got ! seems that this species has a bright yellow interior which turns whitish when calloused over. harissa justbertii fruit yielded roughly 250 seeds.. fishhook barrel in bloom, need pollen! lol a pic showing ario fruits appearing up to a year after flowering notocactus magnificus flowering (need a pollen donor lol) some new ariocarpus species new form of caespitosa lol dragonfruit flower (this one is self fertile, red skin, white flesh) stapilia flowers 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 14, 2015 yeah coloured flesh can be tricky... I remember when I first tried to graft off a ario kotso graft, gifted to me and it was purple inside and I threw it away thinking it had rotted, lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wocket Posted August 15, 2015 Repotted some things, but took pictures mostly. An unidentified trichocereus, probably a mutt: What I guess to be a cuzco?: A grandiflorus that I've been needing to repot and separate for a year: Do you guys like succulents too? sempervivum 'pacific devil's food', it starting to grow more greenish after repotting. Haworthia 'concolor': and an aloe, cat for scale. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M S Smith Posted August 18, 2015 That's really neat! Are they taking the seed just to get the fruit and fruit remnants on the seed or after the seed itself? ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted August 18, 2015 They take the seed and part of the fruit. But sometimes a seed gets left behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philocacti Posted August 18, 2015 Hey bit Thanks for the tip, but they don't bother me at all. I get a few seeds and they get some too. My Lophophoras produce enough for me and other small critters ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted August 18, 2015 I was listening to music with my headphones while starring at my plant. I felt the wire of the headphones get caught up in something and I heard something fall behind me. This what I have found. Ironically, I was just looking at it and wondering how this big crest segment is holding itself up with its bigger part suspended in the air. This is what's left on the stock. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
