Hi There,
I have been growing Peyotes and San Pedros, for about 15 years. The first ten years i would be very unsuccesfull because the climate i live in is simply not very good cactus climate.
Since about 5 years however my succerate has gone way up and i manage to keep most of the seedlings alive throught their first year, after which they become less fragile and will not die as easy.
Although my Trichocereuses do quite well, my peyotes al seem to eventually grow a hard yellowy skin and i have no idea why this is happening. Does anyone have this happening to their peyotes.
I´ve talked about this with a peyote grower and seller in Amsterdam who sais she has the same problem. She also had no idea why it would happen, the only thing she could think of was that it might happen to peyotes who had been sprayed (with water) while in the sun.
I will post pictures later on when i´m home.
Pleases help. I have many peyotes and it happens to all. I´ve changed their placement .. water regime .. etc etc .. any other variables i could think of. But it happens nonetheless. I really would like to correct whatever im doing wrong, especially now that peyote has ended up on the red list.
My Tricocereuses are doing fine. They grow relatively slow here, but they do grow.
