Posting to subscribe, my pedros aren't really too photogenic though. Awesome pics in here in any case. :drooling:

Cool, kind of looks like a pineapple or something.

My "T. pachanoi" have pretty big spines compared to pics I've seen online, not sure if that's really what it is or what. I grew it from seed from a commercial vendor. I wouldn't mind having some with minimal spines for grafting purposes and general ease of handling.

These are my only Trichocereus plants that really are photogenic. I have others but they are uglier and cloned from the same stock. As far as I know they are T. pachanoi, started them from seed a number of years ago.

Yeah they were supposed to be pachanoi seeds but they seem spinier than a lot of pachanoi I've seen in pictures.

I bet you could make a pretty effective fence out of those things. Definitely a lineage to preserve.

I've been thinking about experimenting with some ebb-n-flow for my pereskiopsis...:shrug2:





That's fine for pereskiopsis which loves water, not so good for columnars and variations thereof. If their roots are consistently wet they'll likely get an infection and rot.



I thought ebb and flow involved submerging the roots only briefly and then draining, pretty much what a lot of cactus growers do anyway. From what I'm reading about that hydroton stuff it sounds like it would have pretty much the same properties as moler clay.

Yah but the root zone always stays moist, if it dries out the fine root hairs die. Moist coupled with an indoor environment doesn't work work for cactus traditionally.

Not saying it wont work just stating my opinion. Try it and report back.





It's basically what I've always done for cacti. Flood a tray of plants (potted in essentially inert media) to bottom water, then drain the excess. Obviously the frequency of that flooding cycle will not be the same as you would use for other non-xerophytic plants, but the technique itself is nothing unusual for cacti IMO.

I'd be interested to know the cause of this as well, I've been having similar problems lately.

Wedge or impale grafts are options for grafting larger scions to Pereskiopsis. My earliest successful grafts were Trichocereus on Pereskiopsis wedge grafts. I have not tried the impale graft technique where the joined surfaces are conical instead of wedge shaped, but it seems like it could address the balance issues I encountered with wedge grafts.

I think traditionally the term "aquaponics" is used to mean combining aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics. A grower I know on another site (mycotopia) was experimenting with that type of thing for cacti but I think she eventually abandoned it. Salt from the fish food was building up in the system IIRC.

It's amazing to me that a water change once a month would be enough to keep Trichocereus roots aerated sufficiently for continued growth. I guess a certain amount of O2 would enter the water at its surface though. When I tried propagating Pereskiopsis in still water I found things got slimy pretty quick (which I guess is somewhat of a side issue from the roots getting sufficient O2).

Were there other plants in the system? Or just cacti?



I don't remember all the details but there may have been. Here is the growlog thread (not just on aquaponics):

I would have guessed it was Trichocereus, but I'm not really that good at telling them apart from close lookalikes, especially with juvenile plants.

Yeah I'm thinking it was the seed rather than his technique.

I agree that there is generally no benefit to killing microbes in the soil, but heat treatment is a pretty effective way of preventing harmful insects from being introduced. Completely eliminating a fungus gnat infestation indoors can be a big hassle.

There definitely is an undeniable similarity in the flowers. I will always just call them Trichocereus though, even if it's not the official name.
