That looks like it’s top heavy I would stake it to keep it up right or maybe bury it down farther. But I also have never grown cactus so take that advice with a grain of salt till someone who knows comes by.

Some of my seedling grafts are starting to take off. One of the current grafts look to be dehydrating. My hands were really shaky the day I grafted it. The seedlings that were grafted are much larger than the ones that haven't been grafted. I was told the seed came from the Matucana district of Peru.

I can’t really help you with the ID… to me, I don’t *think* the spines scream Trichocereus, but I’m no spine expert.
As far as the leaning, well, it would depend on the roots for me. If that is how it is rooted- being allowed to root in that posture- then you could repot it in a different position. Though It might be awkward. You could also cut it off a bit up from the base and allow both sides to callous. That way you could re-root the cutting and hopefully the base would pup. More cacti for you.

We'll see how they develop over time. Hopefully I can get them to flower in the coming years. They are already thicker than my bridgesii looking cacti that I found mislabeled at a nursery.

Are they Ikaros seeds from Julio? Grafts are looking good Quote:

They are Ikaro seeds. I wasn't sure whether it would be misconstrued as source discussion.
There was only about a 20% germination rate, but the ones that germinated have been growing well. It may have been the seed starting mix I put together. I used volcanic stone that was sifted, but it may have not been fine enough.

I love hearing about Sasha cactus lore. Does anybody have any resources to read more about his love for cacti and his collection? Not his work with mescaline and mescaline derivitates, that is covered extensively, but his actual love for the cacti themselves.
Every time somebody says something about a cactus being one of Sasha's favorite I immediately want to buy it, haha. I know a lot of cactus sellers have realized that and just use it as marketing, which is why I want to know more about this. There were some wonderful shots in the new Shulgin documentary Better Living Through Chemistry with Ann and Sasha with a lot of in-ground trichocereus, which was super fun to see.

I got 1000 of those seeds earlier this year, same deal, terrible germination rate, you and I are not the only ones.
Got this mutant out of em

That’s old misinformation, there are potent peruvianus out there, it’s specifically cuzcoensis I think that’s known to be low to nothing.

Didn’t know about that documentary, I need to check it out, I’ve only seen dirty pictures which is where I saw most of the Shulgin cactus stuff. Mine originally came from the last auction they did, someone grew it out and made a bunch of grafts. Both of mine came from that auction originally I think. Sasha definitely knew the Kimuras and probably knew Bob Gillette too.

So my cutting came in today along with my seeds never rooted a cactus so how should I proceed wash off the sulfur and put it in some dry cactus soil till it strikes roots or let it callous for longer and then stick it in some dirt? Can I leave the sulfur on while it calluses? And how deep should I plant it?

Depends on when it was cut, and I always leave the sulfur on, the excess should already be brushed off. I usually set in dry medium right away. I’d only bury it a few inches or so, I don’t officially plant until the roots have started popping.

Ok sounds good the seller said it’s been calloused already so I should be good to toss in soil. I think it’s been cut for a week.
