Weird seedlings

Recommended Posts

Maybe it's way too early to tell, but do I have a couple of monstrose forms growing here? They're from a batch of Trichocereus bridgesii and Trichocereus spachianus, both appear to be spineless. I don't know if the bridgesii is even growing, it seems like it's shrinking to me, but that's probably the surrounding seedlings growing, lol.

Also have a crested delosperma ecklonis, doesn't really come across on the picture, but just wanted to share the oddity. Never really seen a delosperma throw a crest, but then again, pretty new to the whole genus and I haven't really looked for it either. Perhaps it's pretty common.

First two are of the funky bridgesii, next three of the spach:

Hi H.E, yeah there could be something going on there but its way too early to tell. Monstrose and Cristates sometimes grow a lot slower than normal ones but you could also have some normal seedlings with retarded growth there. You´ll need to wait and nurse it till its bigger to tell. But i like mysteries so no matter what it will be worth the wait. bye Eg

Thanks EG, figured as much, hehe. Really hope they'll turn out special rather than having stunted growth though. I need to get some grafting experience so I can speed the process up a bit.
