Also Trichocereus tarijensisfor not looking much like the poco I familiarized with over the years yet gets a special ninja cactus of the moment erm .. award for it's thus stealthy camo'.. they look pretty spachy for now but with some spach's for comparison some reassurances are present 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really gorgeous , it's views like this that make you know grafting is awesome in the long run.. reminds me of a taquimbalensis degraft I was lucky enough to behold from a cool SABber in Germany .. astonishing beauty of the forms especially spination. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no experience yet my first ever grafts were earlier this year.. I should imagine I will worry about the same when I catch up.. What I can say tho is:- give it time to callous and heal/dry at the cut - tip i was told by a German grafter.. I assume that if placed on dry perlite in a pot they would dry/heal and root eventually - the general way to root a cactus cutting if you don't have a rack I guess? - some go as far as to put a glass of water below so the plant can sense where to point roots at - a tip I was told by a grafter in Flo' and if it's really good weather temps and so long as the degraft is entirely healed/dry at the cut then perhaps the perlite could be dampened - but only if the degraft has healed I guess? - a tip I was told by a Chinese cactus grafter.. but then it could also be buried while still attached to the graft in a deeper hole so the scion is at normal ground level and the stock is underground after filling in the hole around the plant - whether pot or in the ground.. - a tip I learned from a Cali cactus king.. -stuffs I've learned from the super SABbers in mind but not always in practice yet -but with a view toward that. Saying that I have a terscheckii cutting that hasn't rooted in about 3 years and tried everything I can think of .. making me a bit scared of the idea of rooting terscheckiis and maybe pasacana is similar, i know werdermannianus roots faster than a mo' 'cker tho so it's not all the fatties luckily - so maybe pasacana will be fine.. I'll bet there's better grafters on here with the necc' experience to sure-fire answer your question but that's the best I can think of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedropark Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Uppss. Double post. Thanks for the tipps mate. I ve heard, that rooting pasacana takes a bit and can be problematic. I use birdsand and a heatingmat. Works good, soil temp above 20C. Will see what the tersch. in catalunya us doing and how it is rooting. Will see him in 3 weeks. Very exited. No news from the grower. I wait in patience and confidence. Cheers mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) ..here's that terscheckii I was on about that hadn't rooted, beautiful creature it is, I got it from a SABber in Greece it was almost as fat as the one to the left of it with the sunglasses on to begin with.. come to think of it, it may have been fatter but it's been so many years now I forget. Anyhow , cactus of the moment for me is or are this/these werdermannianus Edited October 12, 2017 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

∂an Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 cactus fam are enjoying spring. need to get some nutrients into them though. I'm making a compost tea. scopulicola looks like it is budding - my first ever tricho flowers! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1208 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Got gifted this a few years back, no idea what it is but I saved some pollen anyway, might try crossing it with a trich somewhere down the line 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess she is going to have to pollinate herself as I don't have any other cacti flowering at the moment. Am I right to assume trichocerus cacti can self pollinate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyan Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sadly, you will need a partner for this cacti that is not a clone. If you act now, someone may offer to send you some pollen in exchange for some seeds I'd be willing to bet. Just look @Matt1208 and his pollen above you. Or... look elsewhere for some pollen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) not all trichos are self-fertile but some are , .. and some that aren't can be induced with cement .. (I think it's a PH manipulation thing to trick flower to accept own) I've been told scop can pollinate it's self before but haven't had flower experience yet so not seen this with my own eyes .. so , well scored there mate! and if you can't get pollen , I guess there's nothing to lose from giving self-pollination a try.

Okay thanks. Great idea! My track record with growing cacti seeds isn't so good as I keep trying to do it outdoors where the birds, possums, slugs and snails get into them when they pop up. So I'd definitely be keen for a pollen and seed trade! I would be happy to pass the seeds on to someone who has the setup already. I guess the flower still has a month or so to go?

nrivers Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I am loving my two bertramianus at the moment. These were grafted to Peres, then planted Peres and all in the ground. They have really taken of and are a picture of health. Touch wood! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
