Potting A Rooted Trich. Bridgesii / Echinopsis lagenformis
#13692374 - 12/27/10 06:10 PM (13 years, 1 month ago) |

Recieved my christmas presant to myself a few days ago

and was told to leave it unwrapped for a few days befor potting.
I did a bit of research and found that a mix of cactus soil : perlite : propergation sand 2 : 1 : 1 is best but i just wana be sure.
And if anyone can give some general advice on potting Trich. Bridgesii that would be greatly appreciated
I plan on growing this outside or i have a good window if that would be better
Merry Christmas

Outside would be best... Your soil mix sounds like a good plan 
That sure looks more like a Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro) rather than a Trichcereus bridgesii (Echinopsis lageniformis - new name)

maybe I got ripped off anyone else think so? it was $8AU so im not too worried im going to grow it either way, cacti are cool
so I plan on mixing up this soil dry and planting dry and not watering for about 2 weeks does that sound like a good plan?

Well you could water it once you pot it, you really only wait an extended period of time to water a cutting(until it callouses and sends out roots). It doesn't look particularly dry though, so you don't have to be in a rush to water it.
I don't believe you got ripped off either. Peruvian Torch are stronger but having a San Pedro to grow wouldn't be a bad thing, either. If you want to trip off cacti, buy a cutting.

No. I think you did get what you bought. It looks the same as some I have. Once it grows a bit the true nature of the beast will become clear. It looks as if it's had a hard life and some spines have also been clipped.
Your soil mix is fine too, you can even skip the sand and cut some cactus soil with 50% perlite.

While the specimen doesn't look exactly like a bridgesii, the spination sure looks bridgesiioid to me.

I suppose perhaps it could just be dehydrated, if it's from a legitimate source I'm sure you got the right thing.

I had a little bridgesii like that once. The plant I took the cutting from was old, small and gnarly as hell, but when the cutting took off it looked like any other bridgesii. I was surprised.

Looks like everything is turning out fine its starting to show signs of growth. Cheers  
sorry no photo but with my camera you prob wouldn't be able to notice anyway.
It gets no full sunlight would it be time to start introducing it to more light or too soon maybe?

Definitely start to introduce it to full sun. I'm really interested to see pics of this one, when it grows up a bit would you be able to take some photos for us? I'd really appreciate it.

Going to have to disagree on that one lol. When you re-pot cacti, or even readjust them, you make hundreds of small cracks in their roots. Watering a cacti after potting it is the quickest path to root rot. Especially being a bridgesii(which are water intolerant), I'd wait a couple days before I watered it.

Will try to get a friend to take some photos with a good camera now and in a month or so when I get back from holidays there should be a noticeable amount of growth in that time.
And just to let everyone know I didn't water it for just over 2 weeks after potting and only put like a few drops of water and the first real water was 2 or 3 days ago (a month after potting).

I know where this specimen is from (I can tell from the wrappings and label), and this is definitely a real t. bridgesii

Thought it was a reputable vendor.
Gave my baby an hour of full sunlight today and its f...in hot here.
I might do that for a while and see how it goes then increase the time if everything looks ok.
and stay safe all those QLDers about to get hammered by cyclone Yazi good luck

Day or night watering is best?
Also its had about 300ml of water since being potted(1 month), 70-100ml prob less about 2 weeks after potting and 150-200ml about 5 days ago but its bone dry now digging down a little, I wana give it a drink in 2 days time before I go away is a good soak ie 300-400ml a bad idea?
Its in a hot location bright but no full sun and temps have been high and windy 30+degC every day.

In this weather you can give it a good soaking. You can water them almost as much as any other plant in summer. Its only in winter and cold weather that you should keep watering to a minimum.

Took these pics today, just got back from holidays, still a bad camera sorry but I can defiantly see the progress.
Just ordered 2 more and 2 Pedro's cant wait till they arrive.
My attempt to grow E. Larginformis and E. Peruvianus from seed failed its not so easy and you cant just leave it to a friend to look after it needs time and attention.
