0 ballzac Posted August 5, 2012 cuzcoensis Pretty weird growth if it's really a seedling, I've only seen larger species (like terscheckii) grow like that from a seedling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Getafix Posted August 5, 2012 Okay thanks. I also have other Cuzcoensis that have not grown or looked like this when young so wasn't sure what it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ballzac Posted August 5, 2012 Are you sure it's not a cutting? Did you buy it like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Getafix Posted August 6, 2012 Bought off ebay. Have just gone back and read and the auction description and actually does'nt state whether seedling or cutting so you are probably right, it's a cutting which explains the growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Stillman Posted August 6, 2012 it does look a bit cuzco like but I just can't tell any more. Did you repot it? Should be reasonably easy to see if it was a cuttting or seed grown from root ball. I have a few plants that look a bit like this that I have lumped into cuzco but am hoping will in time grow there own distinctions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 CβL Posted August 6, 2012 It's a beaut. I'm in love with the spine colour. And I'd say it's possibly a cuzco hybrid, but we'll need to see it grown out more to get a better estimate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Getafix Posted August 6, 2012 it does look a bit cuzco like but I just can't tell any more. Did you repot it? Should be reasonably easy to see if it was a cuttting or seed grown from root ball. I have a few plants that look a bit like this that I have lumped into cuzco but am hoping will in time grow there own distinctions. It arrived on Friday last week just before I was going away for the weekend so quickly put into a pot and didn't take much notice of the plants root system. Gently dug it up again today and definately a cutting. I won't argue with anyone about it being cuzco or not but has some distinct small differences to my other cuzco's. Will let it grow and we will see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the new spines on the tip are a beautiful colour. Will keep you posted as it gets bigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
