Psyentist Posted September 9, 2015 This looks like this little fella can't handle his drink. Found him keeled over to the left this morning, he was leant up against the scruffy looking thing behind him yesterday and falling over on the bloke in front of him last week. Grown from macro x roseii#1 seed about two years ago. I've always though the name Eileen would have been better suited to a prostrate peru. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getafix Posted September 9, 2015 I have one that does that....may be age related but. Well I tried to discount the age thing but the vailum and red wine just can't be ignored as a possible protaganist. Getafix 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooge Posted September 9, 2015 Use some bamboo or a stick off a gum to support the guy while he grows enuf roots to stand himself, won't take long, it will love you for it. I have trichs growing in puddles and streams, they can handle a lot of water 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted September 9, 2015 just a thought......since you seem to have multiple same sized seedlings, why dontcha put one in a 2 liter pot & see if it does any better? imho by limiting rootball size you're limiting achievable girth...plants aren't stupid ya know 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted September 9, 2015 Or repot maybe I've been postponing it for a while now. I'll probably do in these coming weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyentist Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah, I know they're well overdue for a repot. I've got about sixty of them but I honestly don't have the room to repot them all. I was going to keep a couple of each cross and then plant the rest out in parks around the neighbourhood. There's a local meet coming up in my neck of the woods too so I'll bring a number of them to that to give away as well. I can't grow them all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psyentist Posted September 10, 2015 Hmmm, after a quick reappraisal of the situation... There's a lot of room for pots up on that patio roof there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted September 10, 2015 Hmmm, after a quick reappraisal of the situation... There's a lot of room for pots up on that patio roof there! I feel like I'm in your shoes man. The difference is I don't have enough shade. So if I transplant in separate pots, I'll have to place them in direct sunlight, all day. And a lot of Trichocereus don't do that good in an all day direct sunlight spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyentist Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah, it's hard man when you don't have enough room to house your babies. Sounds like you need some shade cloth my friend! I'm thinking foster homes would really be the best bet for mine. I still want to release a few into the wild though. I will pot and keep as many as I can in the next few weeks though. The weathers just starting to get nice for it here now and I have quite a few more plants that need doing too. Where there's a will there's a way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
