One of my caespitosa pups (the one on right nearest to the camera) is incredibly loose, and has some nodules growing off it which I think might be the start of roots. Can anyone confirm this, and if they are, does it sound like it would be possible to detach it once the mother plant comes out of its dormant stage and pant it as an individual?

I think I can somewhat see what you're talking about. If it has it's roots already then you should be able to easily dry the cut and plant it in some dry soil for a month or so and make sure it's actually rooting well before you dab it with a lil water. (not much at first though)

Always plant Lophs in Terra Cotta pots.




I totally get that.. ty

But would a slightly larger tetra cotta pot, along with properly balanced soil and waterings allows for more growth???

It could allow for greater root growth but I don't really know how that balances out in plant growth.

Cheers, that sounds relatively simple for a cack handed gardener like me to try.

Sorry about the photo quality, the lighting in that room is pretty dire, and that was the best out of about ten I tried to take  :aweshit:

:somagnificent:




To be quite honest, I think they are very much on the small side for 20 year old plants - presumably because they have spent their lives under lights.  Desert cacti need SUN.

This 7 headed clump is 16 years old, but has spent all its life outdoors.

Wild specimens actually grow a lot more slowly than yours, due to the lack of rainfall in situ. Obviously, the more intense your sun, the higher the heat and the more you water them during the grow season, the faster they'll grow. The Thai plants get humongous pretty quickly even when they're not grafted because of the constant heat. Not everyone has the temps to keep them growing year round without risking rot though, and they don't grow year round in habitat because of drought, so I'd say that plants the size of yours are actually quite unusually large for their age. Sure, the full Spanish sun is better than lights, but it's not exactly something that everyone can take advantage of, and acting like your plants are representative of the size one can expect from a certain age is really pretty silly.  You have nice plants and good conditions, but you act like they are the norm when they really are not.

I reiterate what I said, P Zap.  Desert cacti will always grow better under the sun than under artificial lights indoors.  When I grew in a greenhouse in Scotland my 8 year olds were bigger than those 20 year olds under lights - still get nostalgic for those 18 hour long summer days.

Some fresh grafts just got released after 7+ days of fusion!

Lophophora williamsii caespitosa grafted onto PC pachnoi


Two headed L.williamsii grafted onto seed grown T.pachnoi looks like its going to celebrate its new connection with a flower! :hug:



Pup from two headed Loph on Astrophytum myrostigma (who says Grafts cant have a taproot?) :wink:




Check out my 2016 Cultivation thread for more! :cheers: Its in my journal this year :]

Love your grafts. Since I have started to graft on san pedros, my best one is this lophophora williamsii pup from a peres graft  that I grafted 2 or 3 months ago. It's going crazy. I can't wait for hot and warm sunny days to put it outdoors for more growth :grin:



The original peres graft is a bit mroe than one year old. The stock has lost most of its leaves but the loph is still getting bigger and growing pups. It's my first seed grown loph and I'm proud of it. It might flower this growing season :crazy2:

This is so very true. Well i live extremely close to their natural habitat. So i grow in their climate. And i grow in rock to boot. I have some that have not even reached the size of a penny even at 3 yrs old. Others are 8 or nine yrs old and just over the size of a quarter. 

My oldest at 9 yrs old. Going on 10.


Now mind you, it was not always grown in rock. This one has been in rock all its life. 3 yrs old. Look at how small it is.


Talk about hard grown true to nature.
