That last one you posted is a very sexy peruvianus RavensEye.
Here's some quick pics of a few of mine. Mostly newly acquired cuttings or small plants. Still need to move my larger(5ft) columns into my new residence:
T. peruvianus ROSEII #1

T.pachanoi YOWIE

T. peruvianus

T.bridgesii EILEEN

T.scopulicola HULK

T.macrogonus

Grafted T.peruvianus X

HB01

HB02

Semi monstrose T.bridgesii



3 year old bridgesii's:

Box o' bridgesii 

Random something I was gifted that I haven't id'd yet. Is it a pach? A peruvian?! Let's just call it a mutt and be done with it. Arggh!!(jk)

Given to me as T.peruvianus but really a T.cuzcoensis. I had a feeling it was and when I last met with the grower he whispered in my ear that he thought the same.

A cool little bridgesii beast. This one bites visitors on the knees.

overstand said: What causes trichocereus to flower? Temperature? light cycle? Size? Age? I have a few nice sized trichs and I am wondering if I will see some flowers soon.
They flower during Spring/Summer and the plant needs to be mature. That is, at least a few years growth from cutting or a plant of several years of age, and has been grown in ample light. Some people in low light areas report that they cannot get them to flower. Other factors may be an issue but mine flower after being grown for a few years.

They need more light. Move them an inch closer every few days until they green up. Don't move them too close to begin with as you risk burning them from too much light. If they start going Red it is an indicator they're getting too much.

thud thud said: Ive heard that 10cm is usually the minimum length for taking cuttings for rooting, but I really want to push it. Is there any reason 10cm is preferable, or is recommended from experience? What would happen if I were to root some 5cm cuttings for example?
Larger cuttings are preferred as they tend to establish and grow quicker than smaller ones. A 5cm will take some time to start putting on good growth and may take a few years to reach 30cm+ of growth a season. Larger cuts 10cm+ continue to grow as normal once they have a root system, good soil, light and nutrients.

Cheers GOT. Your Winter post the other day kind of inspired mine. I just focused on the bridgesii's for some reason. I'll do a peruvian one mid summer when a few of them grow a bit more.

How big is the T. terscheckii?
It's only about 6 inches tall. A very slow grower.

When did Sina get a cactus named after himself? I must have missed that.
Since about a year back. Don't think it was on the forums, just started to go by this name as it was handed out. Memory is hazy about specifics, need to consult notes.....

Wow. You have some truly sexy Trichocereus stashed amongst the Gymno's. Most of the id's I agree with. Just at a glance the "labeled as pach" looks similar to the "Trichocereus sp.(E.scopulicola)". More time growing will help though. You can see how your environmental conditions are giving variations in growth to their previous owners. I also don't feel like I'm growing my terscheckii wrong now I see how old that one of yours is and its size.

3-several years depending on how they're grown. Grafting can halve this time.

I'm double posting but I think you'll agree its warranted.
These are the peruvianoids:
T. peruvianus from Tasmania via obtuse.

HB01

Sold to me as a peruvianus but more likely a cuzcoensis.

Roseii #1

Sharxx Blue. Probably just a Roseii #2 though.

Steve

Unnamed peruvianoids:


Seed grown by Ferret.

Sausage plant. People can't agree on the species this fits into but I'm keeping it labelled as a peruvianoid, for now.

This One is a strange fellow that I happened to pick up about 4 months ago. It was dug out of an old ladies garden, with permission of course, and is a bit of a shapeshifter. This has led to it being called ODO(unofficially!). After consulting a few people it may even be a sausage plant that was grown in an area where it never went dormant, hence the shapeshifting(dropping and adding of ribs) habit. I really don't want to cut it but it's at a stage where something must be done and it needs to be propogated. I might cut it where it collars about a foot from the soil line. Thoughts??
Here's ODO anyway:

Lastly, a crest:

Acaterpillar said: So I did this graft yesterday. I checked it today, and there is some mild discoloration on the stock. The exposed flesh has taking on a mild reddish tone.
Is this normal?
Reddish tones are common at certain times of year and when using tape, in my experience.
Watch it, see if it spreads. If it stays the same it will clear up once the tape is removed and given a little sunlight. Keep it somewhere with adequate airflow.

Acaterpillar said:
Yeah I read to put a bag over to keep from dehydrating, but I decided to remove the bag to increase airflow. I'm going to watch it closely. If it's noticeably worse tomorrow, then I'm going to re-cut.
If the scion doesn't have any discoloration will I still need to cut it, or just re-sanitize? I ask, because I cut kind of high on it, and I'm worried any higher and it may not survive. I'm new to grafting, so maybe the size of the scion doesn't matter too much as long as there is a vascular ring.
You don't need humidity bags for these sorts of grafts and is likely why you're having the problem you have now. Reddish tones are a humidity related issue ime, I get it if using electrical tape, only around the areas where the tape touches the stock. Reddish tones go away with good airflow. Orange rot on the other hand is evident and eats through the flesh in days.
The fresh cuts dehydrating and sinking inward isn't necessarily a bad thing, so long as you've applied the correct pressure then the union, where the Two cut cactus meet, should cauterise and heal. It's just an aesthetic thing with the sunken in stock. I like to leave my fresh grafts inside on the shady side of the house in a windowsill. They sit there for a fortnight, getting rotated 180° daily to prevent the sinking edges.
You should post a good picture of the graft if possible, showing us the problem. It's always hard to tell from descriptions and I dislike being hasty telling people to cut their plants. I very rarely cut any of mine.
