Actually I'm not sure how to call this plant. This is supposed to be Echinocactus Ingens , and that is the label it had when i bought it. But online i found a different name for this : Echinocactus platyacanthus Fa Grandis is probably the is the  right name.
It's violet stripes are a wonderfull aesthetic characteristic, but sadly they slowly fade with age, and completely disappear in old exemplars




I don't know how old is this, maybe someone can estimate? anyhow, stripes are still quite solid. definitely a species to grow from seeds.

I love those purple stripes! Sad that they fade away...

in the botanical garden of my city there's a way bigger one that has the stripes still noticeable . Given that i think the stripes on my exemplar will last for several years more.

Random pics and bla-bla. Found pics I have taken, but didn't knew I have 'em in camera.
:awehigh:

Soon reaching 1meter height with these fast growing trichs, even summer is similar to siberia outdoors, last time was so cold 50 years ago!! I need heat radiator outdoors at cloudy days! there's so cold summer this year greenhouse still gives +40C heats, maybe even more, nights may be +5, pachanoi KK339 from seed with bridgesii from cutting plant Then cutting stump of bridgesii clone I've got from north european nursery, it was 8inch tall when I got it. Bridgesii grow more spikes when it's dark time, over day-time spine count decrease from 1, maybe 2. spring growth when it's dark as well at night, they do 3-4spikes for a while. It effects to many trichs and spine shape and amount changes when night time stops. Then it's increased when it's dark even some at autumn or spring. I've been thinking this alot, also that white hue on spikes, it usually forms only 1-2year old spikes, they stay without white hue color one winter before the color changes more to white. For example with cuzcoensis-looking plants does that, and one of my pachanoi label cactus. Interesting why spine growth change when night darkness goes away, even plants still know when it's night, but spine growth really changes, some clones may change totally to "different plant" depends but it can be seen when it's been constant sun time from spike growth formation. Also almost every species goes very blue. I mean all species almost.


T. Pachanoi KK339 Tip.(from seed, not a clone)


Crested pachanoi own root.


Trichs didn't shock when I moved them and turned them around because I've build diffused light out and cacti seems to like it. At windowsill they shock when turning around. Especially bridgesii, they even shock if sun is hidden behind clouds 2weeks, because after that time, it's totaly different position in the sky. Those bridgesii's really need more sun and heat than my climate can offer, they are very prone here as cuttings and I've find out the black ooze may spread and start host some mold what kill bridgesii's without roots. It have never happened to t. pachanoi or peruvianus I have. In behavior, bridgesii is the only one does that and get very scarred as well very easy. It doesn't like at all sun angle changes so fast. Once I moved it 10inches to left at windowsill and it had spots because of that. Only happens with bridgesii plants. Seems pachanoi and peruvianus and cuzcoensis are more suitable to cold climate then bridgesii. Only one big I managed to get to grow but It had BIG roots as well and it was only survivor. Others just died inside out, some white mold eat them and if it's damp climate, mold doesn't die. They really have more warmer and stable highland habitat obviously, when I compare bridgesii to other trichocereus.. It's only one don't like there or cuttings die very easy. TBM:s got always sun spots, even they are in same spot it happens.:sad:

I really want to see can I get seed grown big trichocereus to make even one flower. I'm curious to know! Firt year in 6,5L containers. No one knows it's but seems nothing is impossible with these, I never know what species may flower and how many flowers they do.. I just think maybe seed grown ones are most likely canditades to try to get them flower in greenhouse. I just need 'em to get bigger!:tongue2:


Sold in random EU nurseries as t. peruvianus, some nurseries say it's "not real one" ..I don't really know, but these doesn't remind the peruvianus plants I have from seed.  Is this cuzcoensis then? I still like these trichs, grows rapidly and they do well. Spiders love hot greenhouse because me plants was full of food for them. They are everywhere munching pests. Lots of different species.

These two one vendor just said; "it's not the real t. peruvianus even tho all sell it as one" had some time ago during winter two small cuttins, their form have been changed much. Spring spine growth is as well different than spine growth when sun shines over 2 months.


Me +1foot cereus peruvianus, monstrose. 2Liter container.


Lophophora Flowers. For some reason williamsii is easiest species to grow here and flowers 100% sure at summer, some species skip summers randomly here when growing with sun. Diffusa and other species may not even flower, williamsii is more Hardy then fricii/diffusa to prone climate. Just collected fruits from these specimens today. Dozens of seeds from 3 fruits!


I have only "Mazapil Zac" label, some I've lost but I rember landrace labels named "cedral" and "Huizache" Just don't know witch of these the actual labels belong. Anyway, It's fine to me, these are flowering always here, more than any species I've tested. This fall I see do ariocarpus flowers comes at late september or october. Two arioarpus species flowered last year just before sun was gone. One was 6years without flowers. I'm exited to wait late season.:sun:


Unknown, old but small, peyote(I've removed two offshoots from it wich flowered as well and plant the head deeper. Right one is flower of mazapil zac peyote. I have half "mazpil zac"-label and rest flowering ones I've lost labels. Well it does't ruin my life! :awesome:

Diffusa plants. 3 different plant from different seed. Biggest head have three babys near it. Then two from different seed diffusa plants, littlebit younger, Big head have been half rotten, I've just kept it in dry months. Plant repaired itself. I've moved two offshoots branches off from mother head because that one diffusa does offshoots what eventually broke off. It's hard to predict when they flower or they may not flower every summer.



Mammillaria's behave odd as well in this climate and many species shock when night dark is gone, some doesn't care about it, cold seems to help them still understand the night time and sun spectrum is very yellow at midnight, not a single flower this year to any of them. E. Subnenudata drop it bud this year, last year it didn't. :lol: another's is still on bud atm.¨

I have add actually reindeer bone mix in to soil of many slow growers this year, for lophs, ariocarpus, mammillaria etc. Just thrown pieces and dust of bone among rocks. Hope it helps 'em..:yesnod: I have very various mix in my soil than I don't really even know what minerals and fertilizers there are. I use as well washed eggshells as small amounts in rock-coir mix.
I think'd I throw few pics to this thread. :wink:

There's a one of many species of spiders attracted of the cacti. There's shitloads of 'em. I have also native weed to spread to grow as well with cactus plants. I want to see what winter does for them, do they die and grow on. Seeds are so small they can't be seen with bare eye. IDK how I had the weed to indoor cactus grow. Fabric pots seems to be nice. Trichs can sit in still water and they just grown on... Roots have shitloads of air in fabric container! They can be taken off from root bound plant by turn fabric pot upside down. First year I'm testing them to cactus plants. I have very various mixes of porous rocky grow medium with coco coir as incrediment to hold water and still dry fast. I use different ratios to different species. Trichs have Very rich soil with coir and rocks with perlite.

Funny than ariocarpus starts flower earlier than in habitat. But it took a while for a plant to realize that. I'm very curious to see will they flower when cold comes again. I want to pollinate them to get own seeds from those flowering here without freaking the fast sun movement in the sky over 12months, it's basically "on/off" with seasons... :awesome:

Lots of species drop flower buds when night suddenly and fast ends..They still know when it's night and day, I mean when flowers open and close, no matter of species, they know if it's night or day. Night bloomers open in "daylight" at night time, dying next morning. One example is echinopsis subdenudata with knows exactly when it's night. Without dark. Lophs and ariocarpus, mammillaria know when it's mid-day, even cloudy days..:crazy2:


This one I got on camera, but there's lots of native spider run around 'em. Hunting mites? They spread like wildfire there with cactus plants with RSM damage on few of them. That spider just ran above the spikes and spooked right after I managed to took pic. I've spot atleast 4 diffrent species of them making webs to my cacti. I think they have something to eat there.:yesnod:

Lots of text, blabla-stories, lol.. Anyways, but I didn't wanted so separate pics I found but never uploaded to different threads! So I just upload a small story with pics there, for example. haw haw:pipesmoke:

I have few lophs outdoors as test plants this year, next year I'm gonna probably keep them at roof of greenhouse. But they do well at windowsill as well. I was just thinking, maybe I could offer some pests to spiders? Would it be good idea? I mean... "cleaning the mites with spiders"(?) in greenhouse full of spiders runnign like crazy around cactus plants, some I have find above the most scarred plants as well commonly.. I just don't want to risk watered lophs outdoors. Without greenhouse it's +12-15C sunny days only atm. Not a single heat waves and 23rd of May this year there was snowing and many plants are delayed, even native ones. Still I have +40C in shade in greenhouse when I trap the sun light and air. Some times I give 'em +2C air at mid-night to give 'em cold breezes After they have been scorched by sun a bit. At night they look very "burned" and return back to green at morning. Also these plants have very mineral rich and clean groundwater all summer.. It's very nice water to use on it's own, natural well water, not from purification plants.:awesome:

Im not sure yet about using groundwater of mine but it seems it triggers flowering easier(or it's just coinsidence than tap water from water purification plant doesn't cause so good respond to flower at summer compared to plants what have had groundwater. Luckily there's lots of clean mineral rich groundwater I can use. Sometimes I spray whole greenhouse fully wet with very cold natural water from ground. Clean water with mineral dissolved. I need few seasons to say it effects better but it seems, when I dip plants to water from ground, they most likely trigger flowering, some triggers flower after first fertilizer at spring, but seems groundwater cause lohps to grow fruits and flowers at any watering time, with tap water it's not sure do they flower. Seems so.. I may speak bullshit, but I need few seasons to know difference of groundwater and tap water. Even tho, tap water is very pure here as well. Compared to many other countries.

Peace to all!:peace:

Too bad that it's so tall and slender that it falls in windy days. I will cut it in a half at the end of this season and root it.  By the way, anyone here has an idea of this cereus name?

Trichs didn't shock when I moved them and turned them around because I've build diffused light out and cacti seems to like it. At windowsill they shock when turning around. Especially bridgesii, they even shock if sun is hidden behind clouds 2weeks, because after that time, it's totaly different position in the sky. Those bridgesii's really need more sun and heat than my climate can offer, they are very prone here as cuttings and I've find out the black ooze may spread and start host some mold what kill bridgesii's without roots. It have never happened to t. pachanoi or peruvianus I have. In behavior, bridgesii is the only one does that and get very scarred as well very easy. It doesn't like at all sun angle changes so fast. Once I moved it 10inches to left at windowsill and it had spots because of that. Only happens with bridgesii plants. Seems pachanoi and peruvianus and cuzcoensis are more suitable to cold climate then bridgesii. Only one big I managed to get to grow but It had BIG roots as well and it was only survivor. Others just died inside out, some white mold eat them and if it's damp climate, mold doesn't die. They really have more warmer and stable highland habitat obviously, when I compare bridgesii to other trichocereus.. It's only one don't like there or cuttings die very easy. TBM:s got always sun spots, even they are in same spot it happens.:sad:

I really want to see can I get seed grown big trichocereus to make even one flower. I'm curious to know! Firt year in 6,5L containers. No one knows it's but seems nothing is impossible with these, I never know what species may flower and how many flowers they do.. I just think maybe seed grown ones are most likely canditades to try to get them flower in greenhouse. I just need 'em to get bigger!:tongue2:


Sold in random EU nurseries as t. peruvianus, some nurseries say it's "not real one" ..I don't really know, but these doesn't remind the peruvianus plants I have from seed.  Is this cuzcoensis then? I still like these trichs, grows rapidly and they do well. Spiders love hot greenhouse because me plants was full of food for them. They are everywhere munching pests. Lots of different species.

These two one vendor just said; "it's not the real t. peruvianus even tho all sell it as one" had some time ago during winter two small cuttins, their form have been changed much. Spring spine growth is as well different than spine growth when sun shines over 2 months.


Me +1foot cereus peruvianus, monstrose. 2Liter container.


Lophophora Flowers. For some reason williamsii is easiest species to grow here and flowers 100% sure at summer, some species skip summers randomly here when growing with sun. Diffusa and other species may not even flower, williamsii is more Hardy then fricii/diffusa to prone climate. Just collected fruits from these specimens today. Dozens of seeds from 3 fruits!


I have only "Mazapil Zac" label, some I've lost but I rember landrace labels named "cedral" and "Huizache" Just don't know witch of these the actual labels belong. Anyway, It's fine to me, these are flowering always here, more than any species I've tested. This fall I see do ariocarpus flowers comes at late september or october. Two arioarpus species flowered last year just before sun was gone. One was 6years without flowers. I'm exited to wait late season.:sun:


Unknown, old but small, peyote(I've removed two offshoots from it wich flowered as well and plant the head deeper. Right one is flower of mazapil zac peyote. I have half "mazpil zac"-label and rest flowering ones I've lost labels. Well it does't ruin my life! :awesome:

Diffusa plants. 3 different plant from different seed. Biggest head have three babys near it. Then two from different seed diffusa plants, littlebit younger, Big head have been half rotten, I've just kept it in dry months. Plant repaired itself. I've moved two offshoots branches off from mother head because that one diffusa does offshoots what eventually broke off. It's hard to predict when they flower or they may not flower every summer.



Mammillaria's behave odd as well in this climate and many species shock when night dark is gone, some doesn't care about it, cold seems to help them still understand the night time and sun spectrum is very yellow at midnight, not a single flower this year to any of them. E. Subnenudata drop it bud this year, last year it didn't. :lol: another's is still on bud atm.¨

I have add actually reindeer bone mix in to soil of many slow growers this year, for lophs, ariocarpus, mammillaria etc. Just thrown pieces and dust of bone among rocks. Hope it helps 'em..:yesnod: I have very various mix in my soil than I don't really even know what minerals and fertilizers there are. I use as well washed eggshells as small amounts in rock-coir mix.
I think'd I throw few pics to this thread. :wink:

There's a one of many species of spiders attracted of the cacti. There's shitloads of 'em. I have also native weed to spread to grow as well with cactus plants. I want to see what winter does for them, do they die and grow on. Seeds are so small they can't be seen with bare eye. IDK how I had the weed to indoor cactus grow. Fabric pots seems to be nice. Trichs can sit in still water and they just grown on... Roots have shitloads of air in fabric container! They can be taken off from root bound plant by turn fabric pot upside down. First year I'm testing them to cactus plants. I have very various mixes of porous rocky grow medium with coco coir as incrediment to hold water and still dry fast. I use different ratios to different species. Trichs have Very rich soil with coir and rocks with perlite.

Funny than ariocarpus starts flower earlier than in habitat. But it took a while for a plant to realize that. I'm very curious to see will they flower when cold comes again. I want to pollinate them to get own seeds from those flowering here without freaking the fast sun movement in the sky over 12months, it's basically "on/off" with seasons... :awesome:

Lots of species drop flower buds when night suddenly and fast ends..They still know when it's night and day, I mean when flowers open and close, no matter of species, they know if it's night or day. Night bloomers open in "daylight" at night time, dying next morning. One example is echinopsis subdenudata with knows exactly when it's night. Without dark. Lophs and ariocarpus, mammillaria know when it's mid-day, even cloudy days..:crazy2:


This one I got on camera, but there's lots of native spider run around 'em. Hunting mites? They spread like wildfire there with cactus plants with RSM damage on few of them. That spider just ran above the spikes and spooked right after I managed to took pic. I've spot atleast 4 diffrent species of them making webs to my cacti. I think they have something to eat there.:yesnod:

Lots of text, blabla-stories, lol.. Anyways, but I didn't wanted so separate pics I found but never uploaded to different threads! So I just upload a small story with pics there, for example. haw haw:pipesmoke:

I have few lophs outdoors as test plants this year, next year I'm gonna probably keep them at roof of greenhouse. But they do well at windowsill as well. I was just thinking, maybe I could offer some pests to spiders? Would it be good idea? I mean... "cleaning the mites with spiders"(?) in greenhouse full of spiders runnign like crazy around cactus plants, some I have find above the most scarred plants as well commonly.. I just don't want to risk watered lophs outdoors. Without greenhouse it's +12-15C sunny days only atm. Not a single heat waves and 23rd of May this year there was snowing and many plants are delayed, even native ones. Still I have +40C in shade in greenhouse when I trap the sun light and air. Some times I give 'em +2C air at mid-night to give 'em cold breezes After they have been scorched by sun a bit. At night they look very "burned" and return back to green at morning. Also these plants have very mineral rich and clean groundwater all summer.. It's very nice water to use on it's own, natural well water, not from purification plants.:awesome:

Im not sure yet about using groundwater of mine but it seems it triggers flowering easier(or it's just coinsidence than tap water from water purification plant doesn't cause so good respond to flower at summer compared to plants what have had groundwater. Luckily there's lots of clean mineral rich groundwater I can use. Sometimes I spray whole greenhouse fully wet with very cold natural water from ground. Clean water with mineral dissolved. I need few seasons to say it effects better but it seems, when I dip plants to water from ground, they most likely trigger flowering, some triggers flower after first fertilizer at spring, but seems groundwater cause lohps to grow fruits and flowers at any watering time, with tap water it's not sure do they flower. Seems so.. I may speak bullshit, but I need few seasons to know difference of groundwater and tap water. Even tho, tap water is very pure here as well. Compared to many other countries.

Peace to all!:peace:




That cereus montrose is spectacular. :datass:

One of my favorites what comes to columns. :smile:

I just washed most blue skin away with pesticide water since I bought it and need to sterilize it. Find it from small local business as 20cm size for 10€.

It's now over foot tall and I planted it to bigger pot week ago.

Three different Rhipsalis grafted to Pereskiopsis. Really starting to take off now, I'm excited to see how these do, and what they will end up looking like.

   




Here's an update LSoares. 11 days later. Its not easy to get the scion in focus



:sun:




~17 days later



I think now that this is really only 2 types of Rhipsalis, the bigger 2 are looking the same now.

Holy cow!
It's amazing, man. As for species, I'm really not familiar with the genus, who knows. I guess you'll soon have flowers, perhaps they'll shed some light on that.
