Those are T lophoroides and polaskii I believe. I don't think any of the other turbs sprouted.
The bottom is my only matucana madisoniorum not part of the comp but I started it with the rest. I didn't think they had spines like that though.

Is that top wooly one a maruibo?
reminds me of marabou feathers

I just noticed that this one is turning the stock purple.

I've been giving these guys a rotation of three different blooming fertilizers at 1/4 strength every 2 weeks and they appear to be loving it.







Nearly all of them have offsets forming, but this last one has them forming at every areole! I do believe I have a caespitose plant

I re-grafted it recently so hopefully I don't lose it; 3 different grafts, regular head, (potentially) crested head and an areole graft. I'll update it in the future once I'm sure if its crested or just poly-headed.

Hope it heals well. Nice loph!
Just picked up a moon cactus, I really wanted for its Hylocereus stock since I didn't have any. Figured I could cut off a few inches below the scion and root it with an inch or 2 above ground. Think an inch and a half exposed stalk is enough green for photosynthesis?
not mine but close to the color.
Think that purple green color would do ok on its own roots?

That one doesn't look much beyond the standard colour range for that species (G. friedrichii?) Yours might very well survive on it's own roots, worth a go!

This Thread is truly amazing! So many beautiful grafts, and when you se the speed of the growth, it is so inspiring to start grafting myself!
-------------------- Currently growing: Lophophora Williamsii, different variations Trichocereus Peruvianus Trichocereus Pachanoi Trichocereus Bridgesii Silene Capensis Acacia Maidenii Mimosa Hostilis Lithops, Euphorbias and lots of different non psychoactive Cactus species. Chinese pepper tree. All grown indoors and most are still babies.
