TheExplorer Posted March 26, 2014 Beautiful plant. Nice growth rate too. What soil mix do you use in your outdoor beds? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Sweet score!! Looks a lot like a T. Peruvianus cv Tarmensis I have, such a beauty! I really like how you have ample room to walk around each cacti and inspect them edit: thought I'd throw in a pic of mine to show similarity Edited March 26, 2014 by djmattz0r 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getafix Posted March 26, 2014 Beautiful plant. Nice growth rate too. What soil mix do you use in your outdoor beds? They are planted straight into the ground no soil added. To be honest the soil looks like shit here. Pure sand, very little organic material visible. Obviously nutrients in the ground as the garden does well. I fertilise with blood and bone 2 or 3 times a season, water alot( Don't care what anyone says I water my Trichs hard through growing season) and added the stone to help retain soil moisture through summer. Get drunk and talk to them a alot, am sure that's the secret 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hypnotoad Posted March 26, 2014 Nice cacti! I've gotten some pretty good ones from bunnings too over the years. You have the most amazing looking yard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though as fat as any Terscheckii or Validus I have, its a monster. Can't even look like joining two hands around it.

Halcyon Daze Posted March 26, 2014 Wow, I always wondered how those seeds would come up. Icaros x terscheckii... Now that would be a legendary cross 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
