Echinofossulucactus crispatus (syn. Stenocactus crispatus) perhaps?

One of my aztekiums has a pup I hope i can degraft it once bigger, but i heard it has a very low success rate so i might just graft it. Has anyone here tried to root one?

that is what has been said but let it get bigger and try for yourself.
i recommend a totaly dry environment, preferably on a windowsil and very dry soil, and just wait.
it could happen ya know?

Ive been thinking of getting some of these. How long did it take to get that big? Did you start from seed?

no i bought it from a local grower he's got a shitload of cactus and sells mostly online but he lets people come and buy from him by appointment. I'm going to get some more cacti tuesday and i'll post em i'll p.m. you his site if your interested i'm sure he'd like the business, and i like supporting local growers, He doesn't just sell ethnobotanical's but i might mention to him that he should become a sponsor, he's got a lot of sacred cacti but they are all legal. No lophs.. but a great selection none the less look on pg 7 of this thread to see what i bought from him already or just look through his inventory.

Just planted my first garden - 100 morning glory seeds (already sprouted) and 500 san pedro seeds Cant wait to see those cacti raise to the sky!
So what is the purpose of grafting peyote as opposed to just growing trichocereus? Does it actually produce more extract or do you do it for the novelty?
1 other question; I saw cereus peruvians at walmart the other day, is that peruvian torch?

They grow faster and mature quicker for seeds, otherwise they're mostly water and no real "meat" from what I've read and been told.

If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need.

I got a new pachanoi today for helping my friend move, It's twice as big as my second biggest one. It's had to be pulled out of the ground but thats ok because i gave it better soil, the roots were really small on it. He had it with the rest of his vegetables so iit's lucky it didn't rot from getting watered daily. It grew 2 ft this year! The roots were white so i assume they're healthy.

thanks i love cactus too, just about anything except cholla and prickly pear, Most of my cacti are concidered sacred i dont have room for other ethnobotanicals so i've been getting cacti as they are slow growing and dont take as much room as shrubs and vines.

Those Ariocarpus are beautiful, I can't wait to get my first ones... must keep looking!
Unfortunately I have yet to come across a garden center with anything halfway decent in their cacti/succulent section...

Cute Aztekium. Mealy bugs are the cactus growers bane and spider mites.
Nice additions Chemical Addiction. Pictures of the A.fissuratus in flower must be posted.

Loph seedlings that apparently made it. I'm planning to keep them outside in the winter (zone 10), but sheltered from rain. Sounds sensible?
