0 Weazelloph Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks jox ill be seeing him this week and ill get the name I planted it yesterday it was a massively thick arm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Hellonasty Posted March 20, 2013 Weaselloph, I can say with certainty it is not a Polaskia Sp (sorry Jox), I have a large Polaskia Chichipe in my collection and it doe not look alike, just my opinion. Looks like Stetsonia Coryne to me ? Web pic; P.S Sorry for the hijack, I didn't start it just made the problem worse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted March 20, 2013 Its ok. This post has gotten lots of attention. I dont blame anyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Hellonasty Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Cheers man. With regards to your first plant I think its a Tricocereus possibly a Peru or Pach and a bloody beauty at that if you take a few 'good' sections from it you could have some quite unique plants.

0 Jox Posted March 21, 2013 ^^ I'm sorry also, I will take back my guess & would say your better off listening to Hellonasty . After looking at your photos today I noticed it as more spines per areole & different spine formation that my P.chichipe. Here are a few photos of my P.chichipe Sorry again, was just trying to help . Cheers jox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Hellonasty Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Nice plant Jox, I don't believe there are too many in circulation in Aus. Be sure to Propagate and share, have you seen how big they can get ? I believe they have a habit of cresting also. Edited March 21, 2013 by Hellonasty 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Optimystic Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) @ Weazel - My best edumacated guess would be some form of Steno... I've been looking at quite alot of them in the last few daze and I think it fits the profile better but don't consider mine an expert opinion but once again I really don't think thats a stets and thats the 3rd times this week that I don't think a cactus is a Stetsonia laff@ Tizoc, I agree that your plant should come out looking beautiful... I would guess someone treated it like a sonoran desert cactus which its not lolI agree that TRUE Pachanois often have long spines but I agree that yours is likely in the Peruvianus/Pachanoi complex ...Especially at the base it looks quite pachanoid... There is no doubt in my mind thats a tricho... I think thats how they look when grown with too much sun/not enuff h20 in Arizona desert conditions lolIm looking forward to seeing what new growth will look like as I am sure others are...

0 tizocAu Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) The guy at the nursey was selling em for 40 dollars. I told him that it had rot and also he also tood me they were snowed on and frozen. Hes a nice guy and gave it to me for 10 dollars. He had others. I want to go back and take pictures of healty ones so I can get an idea what the healthy ones look like. I went ahead and repotted the base stump. And put a dry medium. The tops are dryied and ready for potting. I had thinking riversand and shade wile it roots. And check for roots every 2 weeks?

0 Optimystic Posted March 21, 2013 Hrm.. .yeah that would be cool! You are in Zone 8b?? Me too!! Maybe I can drive there lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted March 21, 2013 I guess if you are in the high desert in cali u can find more of these in a nursery nearby. Pm me if your interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted March 21, 2013 well I am really baffled as to why eg said the original cactus was a Stetsonia Its definately a semi monstrosa or really fucked and stressed monstrosa pachanoi. N The second cactus might be a Pachycereus, maybe a pecten aboriginum [should have reddish spines at the tip when actively growing] , but hey it could easily be a lot of things like say a Stenocereus? http://postimage.org/'> here's mine The third cactus , Hellonasty, yeah that's a Stetsonia coryne alright! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted March 23, 2013 I went back to the nursery and took pics. I told the guys about the rot and he gave ne another monstrose. Haha. So happy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted March 23, 2013 Definitely T. pachanoi. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah thats definately a pachanoi. The first one maybe too but the Angle the Spines have reminded me of a very retarded Stetsonia. Its not a problem to ID typical plants but i´ve also seen plants that did not fit any of the classic Phenotypes because they had a rough life and i thought it would be one of them. There basically were almost no real spines on the lower (rotting) part of the plant while there were some on the top so i was under the impression its just a Stetsonia or a Cereus. Areoles didnt look typical either. Just make yourself the work and google cereus Repandus and you know what i mean. Imagine that plant with no spines on the bottom and a few on top. You know, its not a problem for some to say "pachanoi" because they dont the lookalikes that are out there. So maybe it´s a Pachanoi, so what? I tried to help him with the ID and im glad for Tizoc he got a healthier plant because this one was close to death. bye Eg Edited March 24, 2013 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Optimystic Posted March 24, 2013 Very Cool! if that's 4 ribbed it would be the first 4 ribbed Pach I've ever seen! Even if its Monstrose that would still give me a chub haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted March 24, 2013 No its actually a 5 ribbed. I did a double take. The spines are super long so I take it that its not a PC pach right?? Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts and concerns about my cacti. I went ahead and googled it and I see what your saying. Thanks eg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Weazelloph Posted March 24, 2013 Regarding that big oup I posted thankyou everyone for the opinions the person I got it off got told to remember victoria and oreocereus and was told it wss extremely rare. I took a picture to my nursery and they said it was the sanguaro gigantea ?? Im going to get more and mught have to send one out to someone for closer inspection Untill then I hope you guys dont mind more eye candy for I.D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Weazelloph Posted March 24, 2013 Would love opinion s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Bert&Ernie Posted March 24, 2013 second picture the top cactus is a Myrtillocactus geametrizans i think.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Optimystic Posted March 24, 2013 @ Tizoc, yes that is most definitely not a PC Pach.. PC's are all one clone all of the same plant and thus why they are self infertile, and though even they can look a bit different in different conditions, they are one of the easiest to spot and probably one of the hardiest ime... however I think there are possibly some PC Pach hybrids out there in the mix... I've got 2 or 3 plants I suspect maybe to be PC'ish but not all the way PCNot just the spines but PC's don't come in monstrose either ... I had never seen so many v notches as in the blue one you posted but most of my PCs take on a lighter bluish tone and I think it has more to do with heat and sunlight and other enviromental conditions that may cause a plant to go more "waxy" or not... I just thought i'd mention that since im talking PC and since I have so many of them lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 bogfrog Posted April 6, 2013 sorry this took me so long Tizco heres the plant i thought looked similar. it actually looked more like yours when it was younger, but i can still see similarirites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted April 6, 2013 Indeed it does and from what I herd and seen its a natural slight hybrid pachanoi monstrose. Thanks alot. I also think it looks very similar to nitrogens t peruvianis monstrose. My main question was if it was a clone from south America or a pachnot clone. So I guess its safe to assume that its Real deal pachanoi more or less. Thanks everyone who participated in this id. And by the way I seen some like mine beeing sold on ebay by joes cactis mart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
