If you're talking about the fruits wait until they start to shrivel before removing. That's when the seed will be ready to sow. Separate the seed from the fruit and let dry overnight, then sow in the morning if you wish. Once the seeds are removed you can eat the fruit, it's quite nice.

Just checking in since it's been a while since I have posted here. Not sure if anyone recalls but I have one garden of lophs in NM and I just wanted to say that I have moved many of them north to Alaska and they made it okay. I have about 60 lophs up here in AK and about 300 seedlings that I have started here. Everything seems to have made it okay.

Yes, I do. In fact, while taking pictures at my aunt's, one was sniffing it with interest. I followed karode's suggestion of the moat around my loph and it worked wonders despite the ability for one ant species to manage its way onto the pot. I need to learn some entomological taxonomy one of these days ...

thats an absolutely gorgeous plant my friend. good job with that.
and make sure to catch the seeds. my p[lant threw them out while i was away.
i feel they know when it rains so they are smart to throw them out when it does so they germinate.
who know where i will find the little guys when they do.

There are what look to be red dots in the epidermis of my L. diffusa occuring occuring close to the apical areoles. I know pics are almost certainly needed, but I have not access to the camera now (soon enough, I hope). Any idea what it may be?

I recently sprayed it with neem oil. should I continue?
Please pardon the terrible pic. The spot is blurred and in actuality is made up of a couple smaller spherical sectors. Perhaps it is rust.

I sprayed it down with some more neem oil. So that's all I can do I guess.

Neem oil is a fungicide, miticide, and general insecticide.
"Formulations made of neem oil also find wide usage as a bio-pesticide for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of pests including the mealy bug, beet armyworm, aphids, the cabbage worm, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leafminers, caterpillers, locust, nematodes and the Japanese beetle. Neem oil is not known to be harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies, honeybees and ladybugs. It can be used as a household pesticide for ant, bedbug, cockroach, housefly, sand fly, snail, termite and mosquitoes both as repellent and larvicide (Puri 1999). Neem oil also controls black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust (fungus)."

First off that pic sucks, it's not in focus so we can't actually see anything but a blurry loph, macro mode ftw!. If it is grown indoors I would say increase your airflow and what sort of soil have you got them in? I've seen more organic soils cause rust spots in other peoples lophs.
