blog Posted December 12, 2003 Hi, My T. Spachianus and Pachanoi have started budding, Pachanoi quite advanced, Spachianus still pretty small. Problem is I"ll be away untill the 23rd Dec. Anyway of slowing down the budding process so that I could see them flower when I return. I thought maybe sticking them in the shade or even the spare fridge. I wouldn't like to do anything to harm the development of the flower though, just slow it down. Is it possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterdragon Posted December 12, 2003 takes quite a while for those flowers to open. it's possible they won't bloom until january. i've got buds on trichs now, at the rate they're developing i should get flowers by feb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blog Posted December 12, 2003 Oh that's good to hear,unforunatly my Pachanoi seems to be on steroids, it's turned from a hairy mole to a rather large bud in maybe 5 days, though the other is slow. I"ve not seen the Spachianus flower before, so as long as i'm back for that, I"ll be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroom-Aura Posted December 12, 2003 I heard that moving your trichocereus while they are budding cant make them stop flowering is this true? Becoz i moved my Scopulicolis around a lot and the flower buds havent developed since then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blog Posted December 25, 2003 Trich-Aura: I heard that moving your trichocereus while they are budding cant make them stop flowering is this true? Becoz i moved my Scopulicolis around a lot and the flower buds havent developed since then Hi Trich, well I got home the other day, and was told the T. Pachanoi was just about to open up but wiltered and the bud fell off. I was told in the couple of days previous it was taken inside, due to an impending hail storm. and I have to think it was moving the cactus that fucked it. Wasn't here so no idea if it was physical shock that damaged the bud, it's new enviroment for that short period or if the bud was actually knocked accidently. I"M pretty annoyed but I still have my T. Spachianus is about to flower any day, so i'm glad about that. And it's not being moved anywhere!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted December 25, 2003 blog, maybe your friends actually missed it. in really hot temps they often only open for one night and by the morning they close up and look like they are just about to open. if the first night is missed then it is too late for pollinating anyway. My terschekii's played this trick on me this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
