Oh you two, how cute.

Seriously though that's a gorgeous plant. I know you said it's seed grown, but is that particular part seed grown or is that a cutting of a once huge plant? It's just so fat

That is the blue one I sent you the pic of a few weeks back.
I put it out in the sun,and it turned yellowish.
Thanks for the compliment again:lol:

Thanks buddy:biggrin:

What happened was,last year,it got too etiolated indoors during the winter,and I detest ugly plants,so I cut off the top,and put it directly in dry soil without callousing it.

I made a post about it,and a lot of people gave me flak,because I root all my cacti,without callousing them first.
Someone even said I should expect failure,or something along those lines.

Well,a month later,it rooted,and it has grow substantially since that time.

Someone else now has the bottom half,and I hope it's doing fine.

I kept it fat by not letting it go dormant this winter,and by putting it outside on the warm sunny days,which we had a lot of!
Thank you Global Warming:yesnod:

Another thing I don't ever do,is let my cacti go dormant during the winter,I water them less,but i still continue to feed them,and give them ample sun:cool:

I couldn´t agree more.  I keep mine totally dry Dec, Jan, Feb, and growth slows right down - but they are kept in cold frames where they get plenty of sun.  Then last season´s growth will mature and harden.

In fact the only time that desert cacti go dormant in habitat is if the temperatures get excessively high - then the stomata will close up and photosynthesis stops temporarily.

No - neither do cactus nurseries - whose livelihood depends on keeping their plants happy and healthy.

Selenicereus grandiflorus - the largest flower of any cactus - flowering tonight against my gate post.  When tomorrow dawns it will die.

Funny, I was just learning about this species the other day, "queen of the night" apparently it's pretty rare in cultivation?
Spectacular :thumbup:

Not really rare. They use it as grafting stock.

No, easy to find, and the plant is pretty nondescript - it is just the spectacular flowers that make it special - a once a year event.
