Cracking Cryptocacti

The Cactus of the Four Winds is rumored to possess supernatural curative powers. I searched for a wild specimen of the cryptocacti in Lima, Peru.

i first heard about white peyote. upon googling i found this post on the corroboree with some awesome pics.


anyone know anything about this type of peyote? is it just white or is it different (aside from color) in that maybe it has a higher mescaline content?
 
That's pretty cool. It probably has to do with the spectrum of grow light it is under. I had a San Pedro cutting sitting in the dark for a few months and it sprouted a pup that grew to about a foot tall and and an inch wide and was completely albino. When it started getting some light from a CFL bulb it started to get a bit of green color, but was still mostly white or colorless.

Using pereskiopsis to graft sacred cactus to is a very interesting idea. AFOAF has several peruvian torch babies grafted to pereskiopsis and they are starting to plump up considerably. It really speeds up the growth cycle for seedling cactus. You could have a whole forest of sacred cactus and pereskiopsis indoors, even in the deepest winter cold as long as they get proper food and light.

no, there are genetic freaks that dont produce chlorophyll, most wont survive seedling stage and need to be grafted to continue on

Very interesting dg, I had no idea. I've seen pictures of pink peyote growing on pereskiopsis grafts under lights. Is this the same or similar genetic abnormality?

I wonder if planting into soil a grafted cacti with the pereskiopsis that has already established its root system would keep the rapid growth cycle going. I've not heard of this, but it does seem to make sense because you have essentially increased the nutrient pipeline to the grafted cacti with the pereskiopsis tube.
 
no, pink is usually pigment from mild "sunburn"
more mature lophs take a lot of sun w/o pigment change
