mutant Posted January 29, 2014 I would love a photo-ID thread, where you obsessives show us the difference between your fricci, willi and koehresii. I am not really convinced all these types and species are not the result of hype but hey I am not a lopho completist. diffusa and willi, yeah I can distinguish those. I have 3 strain of willi growing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mystical oyster Posted January 30, 2014 Was removing a pup from my yowie log the other day with an extremely sharp knife, accidently removed the tip of another baby pup while i was at it so stuck it on an old pach stock i had laying around to try save it, bit boring but thought id share anyway. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upside Posted February 3, 2014 I'm having a go myself,, so much inspiration here I've dived in :-) I've had it in a bucket with lid for 3 days now, kept humidity up by tipping some water into the base of the bucket. I have used sinkers and cotton to keep the pressure on it. I'm now thinking is it ok to remove the lid? Also, I'm guessing in a week or 2 I should know if it's taken, then it can be watered? I've been reading and following what others have done yet any feedback would be appreciated :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selfsufficient Posted February 3, 2014 I found these pictures on the web somewhere. No labels, but I like how it breaks down the different button morphology 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted February 3, 2014 Are these like 6 different species? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selfsufficient Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Are these like 6 different species?honestly, the text they were with didn't explain, or was literally in Arabic.Update: I chased these photos around with google search by image. I think they were on kadasgarden garden originally, but the link seems to be broken. The closest I got was a Serbian blog with a link back to kadasgarden. And it wasn't Arabic, it was Persian.

Philocacti Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks for the link. So it's only to 3 lophophora species and within diffusa there are 3 subspecies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phytolator Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) noticed this bundle of growth under a fricii grafted on pere, looks somewhat unlike the usual pere sproutling...I dunno if it just looks weird just because I didn't slice it all off the first attempt - and some more is growing through the initial leaf sprout, or if it is mutating, or "chimera-ing".probably jumping the gun a bit here, but nevertheless curious to see what anyone else thinks...:-) Edited February 15, 2014 by phytolator 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted February 15, 2014 It looks to me like it's just pupping. The pereskiopsis is pupping. Sometimes they pup out of weird spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) DB awesome lopho graft. definately not a caespitosa (lie) I like how it flowers from side pups, excellent photo too, you caught the new pupping super! Edited February 17, 2014 by mutant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr33ntea Posted February 24, 2014 I was bored so i grafted a Austrocylindropuntia subulata monstrose scion onto a pereskiopsis. I am curious if it will be monstrose like the mother plant or grow normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimystic Posted February 24, 2014 I found a thread once where a guy showed off a pereskie grafted to a monstrose cactus and the pereskie scion pupped from every aerole forming like a christmas tree pereskie... not something i'd be interested in lol but cool enuff either way... I think it was a subulata monstrose for the stock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbaldreams Posted February 28, 2014 I grafted a small piece of opuntia subulata monstrose to pereskiopsis, then grafted a lophophora williamsii seedling on top of that to try to infect the loph with the mycoplasma-like organism in an attempt to get some weird loph growth. So far nothing out of the ordinary has come from it. Here are a few other grafts I have going. I'm jealous of all the mutants some of you guys have. Hopefully my seeds will hatch some one of these days. Trichocereus Bridgesii Some lophs from mixed seed 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
