Shhhhhhhhj. Dont say water around 150 ft of a bridge. This CSD is the worst offender. These guys hate humidity: and only clear up in the dry times

CSD comes with some annoying fungal hitchhikers.. That's part of why clean cuts sell for so much. I've heard stories of people struggling to graft away and isolate CSD from the alternaria or whatever leaves the marks.

Thats wxactly what i said. Thats what i wanted it. Did some trades and receieved a small graft and went from there. 6 years later i end up with that. And the graft it came from. Its not a real winner imo but thats just me
Is that tip all you have? If you had more would you be willing to trade? I'm only asking if you have more because if that's all you have I'd understand not wanting to, because I'd be happy trading for that beat up tip. I'd also be happy trading for a single areole or a puck lol. I understand if not interested, I dont think I have anything you'd want. I don't mean to put you on the spot Not sure if that's allowed outside of the marketplace, I'll remove if it is

Here is what it looks like somewhat older. Not my pics

It's sought after I think because its a uniquely monstrose clone, and expensive because of how slow it grows. Grafts are relatively cheap, but a rooted and never grafted piece will cost ya a pretty penny.

I may have a variegated pach seedling, or a sick seedling
 Normal dark green side

 The sides where the color transitions to more lime
 Light green side
Hoping for a variegated seed grown but it may just be the seedling acting up. They are kind of etiolated but I recently moved them from a 215w to 400w

Dont i know. Most bridges ive ever grown suffer from this first or second year i have them. Then it just goes away and they get stronger and never suffer again from it. Hope thats how it goes with this clone as well. All my lotusland and tbms have all gone theough and outgrown it. Seems very common with my bridges

Man one can hope but that 3rd one down looks promising. I have some scop'Heynes' x sass that have that varieagation. But as its gottwn bigger they lose it. Hopefully yours stay that way.

I've got some cactus seeds I plan on planting soon. Yes, it's an addiction. I'd like to graft at least a few seeds to pereskiopsis but I live in a cooler climate. Can perske cuttings survive potential freezing in shipping or should I wait to order until it's well past frost?

They will survive if you are home when they arrive. Its not too bad if say you are sending priority. The more you are willing to pay for a good carrier i.e. ups or fedex, the better the chances of getting a live cacti are.

Hello dear people,
I'm in need of some advice. Got a San Pedro cutting in September 2023. Since then it's been sitting in rooting substrate (perlite + coir) that was bone dry to begin with and hasn't been watered since.
The seller of the cutting recommended a method where you use a sterilized knife to cut the base under angle (like a pencil) and powder with some rooting hormone and leave for 7 days for the wound to close and then bury in rooting substrate until I either see growth at the top or see roots coming out of the holes at the bottom of the pot.
It's been six months now since I put the cutting in the rooting substrate and I'm still not seeing any roots at the bottom of the pot and at the top i saw a bit of growth (one needle came out) 2-3 months ago but since then none.
It's placed at the south window and the temp. is around 23C.
I was warned by the seller not to water until the roots are well established, but now i keep thinking that i should have already watered it and that 6 months is too long a time without any water.
This is why I'm posting here now to ask if this is ok as is and should still be left alone and unwatered until some more significant growth happens OR if this needs to be watered ASAP.
I'm posting 3 photos for reference.
Also if you have any books to recommend on trichocereus care i would much appreciate.
Kind regards V.

I'd get better opinions than mine, but my cuttings were rooting within 6 weeks. When I reported, they weren't like the massive root ball from a tomato plant or anything, but they've been drinking and growing consistently. I'm not sure how to tell when the roots are growing.

Thank you nonetheless. I'll wait to see if anyone else has some advice, but it's good to know it shouldn't be so slow.

It will send roots out eventually, if those pictures are current then it's looking good. The substrate looks like it's almost totally perlite, they like 50/50 inorganic and soil. Or 60/40 if you like. I use black kow and perlite and sometimes large lava rocks, but the black kow has manure in it which is a nice kick besides worm castings

Ok, thanks for the info. The seller recommended using 50/50 perlite/coir or just perlite for rooting then after that repotting to a similar substrate like you mentioned. So this was supposed to be used only initially.

Some clones/cuttings take longer to root than others. I've had some pop roots in a couple weeks, but also have had a few take a year or more.
You can lift up on the cactus and see if it holds the pot...if it does, it's probably rooted. You can also take it out and check for roots/root nubs, I do that quite a bit while rooting cuttings. If no roots, I just put it back into dry media and wait. If it has roots it goes into soil and bigger pot and gets watered a few days to a week after that.
