Slocombe Posted May 6, 2018 Yep. A pachenoi (or Pachenot?/PC). Pretty sure i put it in the ebay finds thread at the time. I will say that the person working behind the counter was a motherly type in her 50s who winked at me and told me it was an awesome cactus.... i either passed up an easy root or (more likely) people really like cacti. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarenna Posted May 7, 2018 I used to find Hamiltons Trichs at various North Coast Bunnings, but it has been over 3 years since I have seen any... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
withdrawl clinic Posted May 7, 2018 they do sell good plants, but the distributers pamper and grow them too fast/much, so you get plants which carck it once you plant them out. there plants like a lot of professional nursery plants lack hardiness. they don't pay well there stuff, and many of there workers, fall for me in the eeh? category. eeh? means like at maccas, when I order "one cheeseburger please" the stuff goes, " eeh?" one cheeseburger please, reply goes eeh? my record is 4 times getting an eeh? and as some of you know, my accent isn't that strong, and I know more words in English, than those low class workers. this happens only at Bunnings, mc donalds and other big brand outlets, not happy jane... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted May 7, 2018 Scored a sweet Peruvian that was a nice find at decent price, and then was no end to the scop mongels cheap as there for a while at my local. Like tarenna been a while since I seen anything of note, they were killing more than selling them though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted May 7, 2018 Haven't seen any trichos for ages now. I did grab a nice bridge, peru and big cordobenseis back in the day. Still have them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Rainbow Posted May 7, 2018 Bunnings do seem to stock less Trichs than they have in the past. My best find there has been a TPSM. Hamilton's have stopped supplying Bunnings. If you're in the Western Sydney area I'd reccomend checking Hamilton's out. I got a rooted ~25cm peru crest there for $25! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyzygy Posted January 30, 2022 I was in Bunnings Coburg today, PC pachanoi clones $52 each, around 20cm tall. Sheesh! If you're a Coburg local, Vasilli's Garden (a block or two from Bunnings) has much better-value offerings -- or did have, last time I was there. Plenty of mature San Pedro types hanging around the walls (pach and maybe scop). And a bunch of beautiful fat TBMs that were going for a song, nicely potted up in terracotta with a quartz top-dressing. I definitely shoulda grabbed more than just one!

fyzygy Posted March 8 Bunnings Coburg: those PC pachanoi were tucked away indoors, underneath a table, for the past few months. Severe etiolation probably now a selling point. Still >$50 each. And a bunch of interesting-looking Mesembryanthemum spp. in the "Pigface" section, dwarf pink, pale pink, and white flowering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kindness Posted March 10 (edited) I rescued a scop from there a while ago. Was in one of those tiny little pots.. can’t remember what they charge for them, maybe like $10. Saw one when I was there about a week ago.. usually found near the orchids and other small succulents/cacti indoors, (the shelf below the pachs in fyzygy’s photo) Edited March 10 by kindness 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucifuge Posted March 31 I buy most of my gardening supplies from Bunnings. I very rarely buy plants there, but occasionally I may find something. I have seen what looks like pachanoi there. But they label most of their cacti as 'designer cactus' or simply 'cactus' so I can't know for certain what they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
