Ordering cacti/succulent seeds, tips appreciated
    #16069153 - 04/10/12 08:31 AM (11 years, 10 months ago)

So I'm starting up a bit again.
Any tips on what cacti species to get?
I'm growing from seeds so specific clones isn't possible. The only ones I already am certain of is the classics T. peruvianus, T. pachanoi and L. williamsii
There are a few local varieties of those available from where im ordering so if you have a favorite subspecies/strain that'd be of interest.


Any opuntia especially awesome?

You can also get T. Bridgesii.

There are online shops where you can buy cuttings/clones. Ebay also sells them.

You can also get some Pereskiopsis for grafting so that your lophs grow real fast.

I know about online shops :smile: Been doing this sort of thing for many years. I'm going with mainly seeds for economical reasons. I'll be grafting on peres/opuntias as soon as I have a decent amount of seedlings.
Just trying to find some interesting/obscure stuff that I might have missed during my previous endeavors.

Lophophora alberto-vojtechii is one I find interesting, seeds are very pricy though. Rare in cultivation and it's distinguished by flowering at a very small size. It's a diffusa type species/variety. I also started some williamsii caespitosa from seed as well, those were from a certain location but I don't remember it offhand. Not really obscure at all but still fun. You can also get williamsii "pentagona" seeds, those are supposed to stay at 5 ribs to a large size. I don't think those are from a specific location.

Stuff from the Astrophytum and Ariocarpus genus are usually high on peoples list. Astrophytum caput-medusae is one of my favorite plants ever.
A lot of awesome cultivars in the Astrophytum asterias and myriostigma.
Most cactus people go crazy for Aztekium ritteri. I dont really care for it. I mostly got them to make other people jealous. Personally I like a lot of the Echinocereus. They have some of the best flowers. If you can find it Mammillaria luethyi, but they can be expensive seeds.
Oroya acollana is a personal favorite.

I'm a huge fan of Turbinicarpus. I don't know why they don't get much love. There are a ton of awesome breeding possibilities there. They are CITES I, but they seem to have a cult following among some European seed men/collectors.

Check out Sulcorebutia rauschii, it's pretty cool. Also Blossfeldia, the smallest cactus.

Just last night I decided to venture into cacti.  We've had a single peyote cacti for a few years now... it hasn't grown at all, most likely because it's in soil that doesn't drain well (my guess). Quick question to anyone: how easy is it to transplant a cactus? As in, should I be overly concerned about anything?
Mescaline is next on my list to try, would be salvia but it's too damn hard to find a cutting haha.
Best of luck to you, myself and everyone else :laugh:

Nothing to be too worried about. Be gentle with the roots. Put into dry soil and don't water for at least a week. This gives the roots time to recover and avoid rot.

And good luck finding out.  There is something like 180 different Opuntia sps.
Variegated something.
Not something you get from seed, but since you like opuntia I'll just bring this up...
Chimerical cultivar between Ortegocactus macdougalii and  Opuntia compressa


Which also reminds me that Ortegocactus macdougalii is another awesome cactus to add to your collection.

You might have tried some of these but how about: Aztekium Ritteri, Astrophytum "Lotus Land", Astrophytum asterias cv. "Super Kabuto", Ariocarpus retusus var Hintonii, Pelecyphora Aselliformis, Euphorbia Obesa.
