Philocacti Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I believe cuz this website is in Australia and the Australian law is anal with these kind of things......plus we hate to see these cacti get prohibited to grow and own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2XB Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hold up hold up. So you guys are saying this Rainbow hedgehog cactus has been found to contain alkaloids such as mecaline?I was previously unaware of this as i own the species and love it very much and im always interested to know which species in what families have been found to contain different alkaloids. its important to document and make it common knowledge among collectors. Its just another part of the plant after all and an important one to it for self defense.Every time the "M" word comes up it should not trigger censorship right off unless its talking about potency or what have you that is in the rules. But When i first came here i mentioned how specific soil additives were important to several species of cacti for proper alkaloid production. I never even mentioned mescaline and i was warned about my post. rainbow.jpgI think the issue is not your intentions regarding discussion of certain alkaloids more that such discussions generate interest from the wrong kinds of peoples... the forum get pretty high rank search results on google from certain search strings and from what I gather this sorta thing is more the problem rather than your innocent enquiry.I couldnt care either way but at the end of it all the answers are found elsewhere anyway... just gotta put some time in.However this is my interpretation of comments posted in countless threads regarding the same issue, regard it just as that and not anything condescending. ..Besides that the moderators control the forums how they seem fit so not much else matters..Just curious as to why u think mescaline is a defense tool?? Ie what kind of predator would it deter?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie what kind of predator would it deter??From what i have been told or perhaps read over the past year Mescaline and other alkaloids are present in the plant to help ward off potential predators because the alkaloids are very bitter and unpleasant. Thus a mouse or other animal might take one bite of a cactus and then decide not to eat anymore because of the terrible taste.I am pretty sure this is correct but hell, misinformation is out there in bucket loads.The problem is some information which is not on wiki is known by other collectors. I read a post in the thread and got the pictures mixed up with the species in question. I never thought The rainbow had it in it until i saw this thread haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Señor Corrochio Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 One of my seedlings was an albino so I grafted it to pereskiopsisHere it is....showing it's pigment-less white color after it was totally red for the first few weeksKeen to see how this one turned out.

Philocacti Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The graft stalled and the pereskiopsis keeps sending out shoots from everywhere. So I'm waiting till one of my stenocereus starts growing so I can re graft it to it. Will post an update once it's starts growing again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Señor Corrochio Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Tough luck man. The peres must've stopped feeding it altogether I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philocacti Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I guess so too. This isn't the 1st time pereskiopsis behaves this way. No matter how much I cut offshoots from the stock, it keeps on shooting more and not feeding the graft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmattz0r Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Sucks about the variegate! Here's mine.... considering putting it on it's own roots as it already has some showing.Had another graft but the stock shriveled up and rotted before I could catch it killing the scion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
