Pictures of my cacti

[Madcap]

Here is a few, I will post more later

First is a hybrid I bought from CS as a 2 inch seedling

second is a pedro (cut way too low on first round of harvesting... live and learn)

See what happens when they don't get enough light.

This guy had to be kept on a porch last year and got skinny. This year he got the fat head!!! and threw a pup.

I think this is just a mutt P. Torch. Would love an ID if anyone can tell.

West Coast Crafts pedro was pretty good. I decided to put 2 of the cuttings in the ground log style.

They seem to be rooting pretty well too.

3 trichocereus cuzcoensis pups.

Cutting this guy down was such a waste ( bought it as kk242 ). Ive read it makes for good grafting stock...so at least there are the pups. And a tip. sigh, It was soo big and pretty. I bet it would have flowered soon

You have such an incredibly delicious garden, thank you for sharing these pictures. I am salivating.

Just wondering if the first photo (hybrid) is the same cacti in your avatar picture?
If so, how long ago was your avatar photo taken?

Beautiful friends you have there! :d

Thank you !

That is the same cactus from my avatar. I think I took the other pic a couple months ago. He had a major growth spurt. Other things have stalled out a bit. I mixed in some compost shortly after I took this batch of pictures.

Madcap you have mad cactus cultivation skills. I love the fotos. I have a tall slender San Pedro that has been indoors it's entire life. Its about 4' tall.
Can I just cut pieces off and plant them on their side like you did?
Thanks for sharing?

 

[Madcap]

You can put them on their side, or stick them straight up in the ground.

After you cut them, allow them to scab up for a couple weeks or more before you put then in soil. No water for a while. Until roots start o form. Could tak a couple months.



Thanks or the compliment. I will put up more pics of the other guys soon.

So how should they be stored while they are scabbing over?

In light, in dark, warm, cool, humid, dry?

In a cardboard box ar a bag?

Does it matter what I cut it with?
