On My Roof Terrace * 3
    #22499433 - 11/09/15 08:44 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

The Ariocarpus flower show refuses to stop.  We had a deluge of rain one night a week ago, followed by warm sunny weather since.  This has kept the Ariocarpus plump and warm and producing buds.

This afternoon I had in bloom:


A. agavoides - I love the magenta colour of this one.


A. bravoanus - this double header grew an additional head last winter - when it was supposed to be resting.  I am waiting to see if it will eventually become two separate plants, which can sometimes happen.


A. kotschoubeyanus - a slow grower - still completely outgrown by its blooms.


And I love the pure white of A. retusus

That Ariocarpus Agavoides is beautiful! I cannot wait until my cacti and succulents are flowering! Would have to posses some of the most beautiful flowers in the plant kingdom.

Peace.

Re: On My Roof Terrace [Re: Spanishfly]
    #22508221 - 11/11/15 07:41 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Today I took a pic of my Euphorbia obesa - which has become mostruosa - developing 3 growing points.



It started off as a perfectly normal, almost spherical specimen - and in 2009 started to display the 3 growing points.

Since then it has become more extreme, with some offsets developing as well.  If I were to detach those, they would grow, initially at least, as typical examples of the species.  But I have left them there as they add to its warty appearance.

Looks like that 4 X 1026W, 5800K, fusion lamp may be a bit too powerful for your Euphorbia obesa. Looks mighty toasted on the top. . . . .

P.Zap as requested


Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum - I grew this from seed - must be about 3.5 years ago now.


And a Astrophytum asterias, bought in 2009 - wasn´t actually sold to me as a Superkabuto, and I don´t think it is quite furry enough to qualify.  But it certainly has a rather odd shape - it seemed to sulk for a while then burst into life.

That nudum is a beautiful plant.  I love the hint of purple blush it has.  I've got a few of that variety, hope they look that nice in 10 years. :lol:  The asterias is very nice too, now that I see it close up I can see it's just a regular one, but still a very nice plant.  I've got a soft spot for astros but terrible luck with them.  The are far less forgiving about moisture than lophophora.  Many of my plants have succumbed to a slip of the watering can.

One reason I only ever use terracotta pots - they keep your plants a little on the dry side - much easier to cope with than too wet !!

Glad you like them, P.Zap, I have some more Astro pics that I want to post eventually - including a GRAFTED one!!!!!

I grew a few A. asterias from seed about 3 years back.  I read a thread in another forum about grafting Astrophytum - at the time I thought, ´why on earth graft one of the faster growing cactus genuses?´  But in Sep. 2014 I grafted one to a Myrtillocactus geometrizans - a commonly used grafting stock - as a bit of an experiment.



It has grown and flowered a couple of times - but its brethren, still in the pot they all once shared and on their own roots - have done a lot better.



Well - I just guess that is the power of grafting !!

Good fun to try anyway !!!

This L. wiliamsii I have had for 15 years - it has flowered many, many times and produced masses of seedlings, but has never pupped - unusually for a loph.

But it has started to do something unusual in the last year - it is splitting into two - becoming dichotomous.  Now has developed two growing points - and a lump is forming where the two halves meet - I will be watching this space.

All cacti have a single growth point.
With crested cacti, the point becomes a line.
With Monstrousa cacti, every point can be a growth point.

Now with dichotomous cacti, it is still a single plant, but with 2 growth points. Think siamese twins.

This is my understanding...

A little L. williamsii - this one is definitely a survivor.



About 3 years ago, when it was a mere sprout, it got a very bad case of black rot - I had to cut half of it away - dusted it with cinnamon, but really had little hope.  But it recovered, and became a 3 header, which flowered this year.

The cactus that just cannot stop reproducing is this one Encephalocarpus strobiliformis  - although it has officially been put in the genus Pelecyphora, mine are still labelled with the older name



Beautiful flower display taken in the spring.  A more recent pic shows the profusion of seedlings that keep appearing.

Just done what will be my last repot of this season.  A 15 year old L. williamsii was getting a bit cramped, with its pups and sprouts filling the pot it has been in for 4 years.



I got 5 sprouts with her, two of which are double headers.



Hopefully some of them will become flowering adults next season.  This is why I don´t grow L. williamsii from seed any more - my plants give me a steady trickle of sprouts.

Now it is December that makes it officially winter - so nearly all my guys have gone into their winter quarters - some cold frames and a couple of ´mini-greenhouses´.  To keep them dry - if we get a prolonged cold and damp spell they will start rotting.  I always seem to lose at least one every winter, anyways.  This way they get their winter rest, and prepared for next summer.

Yes, I think all those you can clearly recognise as Lophs were produced here from seed.  Not all necessarily sown by me though - go back a couple of posts !!

Awesome.  I saw some small Ornatums in Home Depot yesterday and almost bought one, but they had cheesy fake flowers hot glued to the top and I didn't feel like the hassle of taking all that shit off.  :lol:

You should post some pics of that thing flowering come spring.

As they say, NEVER say die !!! 
Just over a year ago I got some seeds of Cumarinia odorata - a rarely grown monotypic genus.  Just a few, and I sowed them in a small pot.  After some months nothing had happened, so I put that pot to one side - needed the lighting space.  Yesterday I decided to recycle that pot and found 3 little sprouts - sitting in dust dry soil.  So I gave them some sorely needed water and put that pot under the fluoros again - it will stay there until the spring.
So don´t be too quick to give up on your seeds - they just might be a bit slow.

First Flower of 2016 !!

Been in the UK for a couple of weeks - mother´s 90th !!  The plants are in their winter quarters, been totally dry for 2 months - resting, but not dormant.

I was greeted on my return by a nice floral display from my Stenocactus multicostatus - lovely to see.  Also came back with another two dozen Long Tom pots.

P.Zap - that is a 4".  In future I shall try to remember to include a clothes peg or something to give scale.

I've always thought the lighters and pens took from the beauty of a photo. But I've also been totally thrown off due to scale before, so I understand the need at times.

What a beautiful flower to go home to SF!

No way, they're beauties. I have a few small ones I grew from seed and degrafted.  They've all rooted and I'm looking forward to see them put on some natural growth this summer.

You're got some gorgeous plants there and they are very beautifully potted too. Did you make your cold frame? I can't tell whether it is plastic or glass? It looks pretty nifty.

Thanks for the kind words - I always find a bit of top dressing and a nice label smarten then up a bit.  My cold frames are plastic and aluminium - imported from the UK.  But plastic doesn´t last too well in the sun here - one will need renewing soon.

A few weeks since my last post.  I have decreed this weekend (12 March 2016) that Spring has Sprung - warm and sunny and calm - I have taken my guys out of their winter quarters and put them on their regular tables on my roof terrace.  They will get a good drink with some fert tomorrow.

With Lophophora flowers the stripe doesn´t have such a dense pigment - but they are certainly similar.

There must not be too many pollinators in the area of Mexico where most of our favorite cacti come from, there are only a handful of basic flower colors and shapes that are remarkably similar across genera.

The Ariocarpus flower show refuses to stop.  We had a deluge of rain one night a week ago, followed by warm sunny weather since.  This has kept the Ariocarpus plump and warm and producing buds.

This afternoon I had in bloom:


A. agavoides - I love the magenta colour of this one.


A. bravoanus - this double header grew an additional head last winter - when it was supposed to be resting.  I am waiting to see if it will eventually become two separate plants, which can sometimes happen.


A. kotschoubeyanus - a slow grower - still completely outgrown by its blooms.


And I love the pure white of A. retusus




As I never commented on these as I was 'away'. Let me just do...

After 13 years of the most callous neglect, today I repotted my Lithops verruculosa.  I don´t know much about these, but it has grown into a nice clump which flowers every autumn.



The roots were very shallow indeed, so I stood it on fresh compost in a fairly shallow terracotta dish.  The structure when viewed from underneath was very reminiscent of a head of broccoli.  I hope it continues to do well.

A single Lithops plant looks like this



but they have a tendency to grow clumps of individual plants, which is what has happened to mine.  Later in the year I will post a pic of it in flower - if it survives its repot, that is!!

That's a prize winning specimen for sure. They thrive in neglect in your climate, I had no problem keeping them when I lived in the SW US, but they're actually pretty hard to keep alive outside of a Mediterranean climate. :lol: Awesome plant!

That is a beautiful collection you have sir. And I never knew about cinnamon to treat rot. I applied some today and we'll see how it goes. I'm always learning from you experts!

Today  repotted my Lithops hookeri - the same age (from 2003) as its compatriot above, but has been rather slower, making a far smaller clump, although it, too, started with a single plant.



I bought others at the same time, and there have been a few casualties.  These come from very dry and sunny areas in South Africa, and you have no real chance of any success with them at all unless you have a sunny climate.  I tried a couple when I was growing in Scotland - never saw a flower and they were short-lived.

Some new arrivals [Re: Spanishfly] * 1
    #23092324 - 04/07/16 03:11 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)

Some new arrivals, from a nursery in Germany.  They all arrived in good shape, with spines in good order, but were all totally pot-bound in the tiniest plastic pots.  First job was a complete repot into terracotta pots and my standard Mexican desert cactus mix.



They are - Turbinicarpus schwarzii, Epithelantha micromeris - that one has a pup, I think unusual for this species - and was a freebie from the supplier.  Thelocactus lausseri, Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus, and Aztekium ritteri - that last a tiny (but expensive) specimen on its own roots.  Maybe I am being a bit optimistic buying that at my age.

Although from a professional nursery, they will still be going into quarantine for a while just to ensure no pests are around.  And they will be gently acclimated to the brighter sun they will be getting.

Astro repotted [Re: Spanishfly]
    #23112413 - 04/13/16 04:48 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)



Today I repotted my somewhat battered looking Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum var. quadricostata, started from seed I traded in 2013.  Has grown rather slowly for an Astrophytum - that is a 4" pot. 
Developed a pronounced growth line a couple of winters back which is still prominent. 
Has yet to flower, and I will be interested to see how long it retains four ribs - they tend to revert to the more usual five rib form in time.
Commonly called the bishop´s cap cactus - the four ribs resembling a bishop´s mitre.

As they say, NEVER say die !!! 
Just over a year ago I got some seeds of Cumarinia odorata - a rarely grown monotypic genus.  Just a few, and I sowed them in a small pot.  After some months nothing had happened, so I put that pot to one side - needed the lighting space.  Yesterday I decided to recycle that pot and found 3 little sprouts - sitting in dust dry soil.  So I gave them some sorely needed water and put that pot under the fluoros again - it will stay there until the spring.
So don´t be too quick to give up on your seeds - they just might be a bit slow.




Following on from the above, in the last 4 months the sprouts have done very well, and today I potted on the largest - it was looking very much like a miniature adult, and just starting to produce hooked central spines.
Here it is in a 6cm pot - it will stay under fluoros for a week, before being gradually introduced to the sun.

Some repots [Re: ferrel_human]
    #23120239 - 04/15/16 09:53 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)

Kind of you to say so, ferrel.

In 2014 I bought a couple of rare species on evilBay - both Toumeya papyracantha, one being a cristata - both were grafted, this species being tricky on its own roots outside habitat. 
I had to bid some pretty stiff prices, and was a bit miffed when both plants arrived with hardly any root.  I put them in some 8cm pots and hoped for the best - nothing much visible happened for the next 18 months. 

Today I unpotted them and was very pleased to find two pots stuffed full of roots - so they have gone up a size into 10 cm pots - maybe I will now see some above ground action in the coming season.



Also repotted a Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp. hintonii - this one seeded itself - amazing how they do that.  Flowered for the first time last year.

My pair of Geohintonia mexicana were sharing a pot, but it was getting a bit cramped - there were also some Pelecyphora strobiliformis seedlings hitching a ride - those grow like weeds in these parts.



A lot more room to grow now!

I have had these about 6 years - when I put them in the same pot there was ample room, so they have about doubled their diameter.  Good luck with yours, P.Zap.

One of my Pelecyphora aselliformis has produced a small flower - but I can never seem to synchronise the two plants.




I also have a cristate form of this species that has never done the business, though.

I think Zed has had the same problem with his 2 aselliformis. One flowers and the other does not. Maybe later on in the season.

Flowering today [Re: theMallacht]
    #23198163 - 05/07/16 08:25 AM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I have decided to be less lazy and take the trouble to post more pics - I have missed some good flowers lately.

Anyway, flowering today there is



Stenocactus pentacanthus - a single flower pushing its way through some fearsome spines.



Encephalocarpus (syn. Pelecyphora) strobiliformis - a young adult with three very nicely coloured blooms - don´t suppose I will have that beauty long - trouble with these is Mrs Fly keeps swiping them to give as presents.



Pelecyphora aselliformis - one in flower, the other has a bud.  They still fail to bloom together.



And my Lophophora williamsii which is continuing to cleave itself in two - and there is now a definite lump at the mid point of the cleft - I watch with interest.  A few more sprouts have appeared as well.

I love the little sprouts!! I want them haha they look like they are young but they are already quite large!

That's just from you not collecting the seeds? Or do some inevitably get spread around?

I also really like the pely with 3 flowers, just squeezing in there.

The seeds appear in little pink berries - somewhere between 1 and 20 in each berry, usually 5 to 8.  When I am very conscientious I collect the fruit as they appear and dry out the seed. 

But often I miss loads, the berries dry and the seeds fall out, often into the soil where they readily sprout.  And at the end of each season I pick off all the dried berries and gather as many seed as I can find.

A slow grower which doesn´t produce much of a root, I have had this one 14 years now.  I like the red throat in the white flowers.

A Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum with a hairy fruit split open and spilling out loads of seeds.



Sadly, they are not really of any use, as they will all be hybrid.

So i takeit you dont like hybrids. You should grow them out anyways. Would be a shame to lose all that seed.

Well, those seeds have been disposed of now, but if anyone wants some hybrid seed they are very welcome.  I have a few Ariocarpus that have fruits of hybrid seed at the moment.  I just don´t have the space to grow out all the seed that I get.

So its more a question of space rather than dislike. Why dont you sell them online like ebay? Im sure you would have some takers.

A Long Overdue Repot [Re: kactus.brand.g]
    #23363169 - 06/20/16 08:28 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

My Ariocarpus scaphirostris was last repotted in 2011 - and was well overdue another - especially as a host of big and little sprouts had jumped in with it. (Why do we treat our seedlings with such kid gloves and shower them with excessive TLC when they do it all on their own under full sun with no problem?)



Well there is the A. scaphirostris, a couple of good sized Ariocarpus hybrids, I can see some smaller sprouts and a pair of Pelecyphora strobiliformis - those latter sprout like weeds.

Gently emptying out the pot there are:



Actually 8 little Ariocarpus sprouts - a total of 13 plants in the one pot.  I put the 8 little sprouts in a pot together - see what they turn out to be - probably hybrid but there was another A. scaphirostris so I could have got lucky.  The other 4 plants will go as gifts to friends.

The larger A. scaphirostris had two pups - something I have not seen on an Ariocarpus before.

Nice repot man. Isnt it related to trigonus?

Ariocarpus trigonus is indeed another member of the genus.

A member of the genus yes. But the same species? I am intrigued by said scaphirostrus

No A. trigonus and scaphirostris are distinct different species.  A. scaphirostris inhabits a single very arid valley in the state of Nuevo Leon, where conditions are so harsh there are very few other plants that can survive.


Here is my A. trigonus - with sharp, thicker tubercles - the largest growing species in the genus.  The browning of the tips of the older tubercles is typical of this species.


My collection of Ariocarpus.  A fascinating genus that don´t grow too large.


And a useful text.

Thelocactus lausseri, which I bought a few months back from a nursery in Germany.  Now full acclimatised to Spanish heat, and developing some fearsome spines.

Astrophytum Seeds [Re: Spanishfly]
    #23436941 - 07/13/16 04:35 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Two of my Astros producing seed at the moment.



A. myriostigma stacks of fruit bursting open all round the crown - trouble is they will mostly be hybrid.



Two fruits open on my A. myriostigma var. nudum var. quadricostata..  Again mostly hybrid, but it might be interesting to see if the sprouts have 4 or 5 ribs.

I don´t usually save the seed, but if any seeds sprout, I let them grow - the hybrid plants make nice gifts.  If anyone wants any of that seed drop me a PM.

I found this little Astrophytum sprout - with four ribs. 
A hybrid - with one of the parents being my var. quadricostata. I presume.

Following on from the above, in the last 4 months the sprouts have done very well, and today I potted on the largest - it was looking very much like a miniature adult, and just starting to produce hooked central spines.
Here it is in a 6cm pot - it will stay under fluoros for a week, before being gradually introduced to the sun.






I repotted my Cumarinia odorata sprout and here she is today



I love how the long hooked spines have developed.

Strobiliformis [Re: Spanishfly]
    #23488293 - 07/29/16 05:24 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)



I am about to repot this pair of Pelecyphora strobiliformis.  This species is easily my most prolific for producing sprouts, and there will be plenty of little ones looking for a new home. PM me if you want some for free.

Wow so that's what they look like when they mature
Weird plant, I think it's about time I gave mine their first watering
My mom got my little baby lophs wet, I was gonna wait another couple weeks but they seem to be OK, the two smaller ones keep digging themselves in deeper.

Obregonia [Re: ferrel_human]
    #23524126 - 08/09/16 06:49 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)



A rather slow-growing, monotypic (having been placed in Strombocactusand taken out again) genus, Obregonia denegrii is not commonly seen in collections.  I just repotted this pair germinated from seed I was given in 2013 - no flowers at all yet.

They don´t like the sun as much as some others, and do best in partial shade.

And the perennial question - why is one so much bigger than the other - when they have shared a pot all their lives?

Genetics man. Genetics. My lone denegrii is attached to this rock i got at work once. And when i say attached i mean like it has imbedded its roots already in it. Only flowere on me once.

I like those. :asianofapproval:

UGLY!! [Re: ferrel_human] * 1
    #23543011 - 08/15/16 06:20 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)



The UGLIEST plant in my collection - Euphorbia obesa - with warts and all.
It started off as a perfectly normal columnar example - before it developed three growing points and pups.

I have been tempted - the pups would make nice examples of this lovely species - but I think leaving them attached enhances the whole UGLY theme.

Most kind of you to say so, Spellbound.

The makers recommend that you write on the Alitags with a pencil. 



But I treated myself to a Brother Gardener´s Labeller GL-H105.



I have used (and thrown away) labelling machines before, but this one produces labels that really are weatherproof - even in the Spanish sun.

If you look from top to bottom of the plant - you see the leaves are red when they first appear - then they go yellow, then a variegated yellow/light green - then the older ones go a darker green.
The only genus of cacti with true, permanent leaves.  And not succulent.

Yeah its a beauty for sure. So how tender do new offshoots get? Could you graft to it or is that out of the question?

I have taken a few cuttings from it which produce roots very easily and quickly in a jar of water.  I think it is far too thin to use as grafting stock - and not at all succulent, unlike most cacti.

The Ariocarpus show 2016 is finally underway.



Kicking off is A. bravoanus ssp hintonii.  This was initially a single plant that grew a second head two years ago.

A discovery today - underneath my venerable Leuchtenbergia principis, I found lurking a couple of Astrophytum sprouts.  Both with, at the moment, four ribs, and denuded of flecks.  Just like the single var. nudum var. quadricostata that has been throwing its genes about lately.  I think I will leave them there now until March.

Amazing how these seeds find their way just about anywhere and germinate.

Couple of pics today -



A fruit splits open on my Astrophytum coahuilense



And an unexpected clutch of sprouts on a Epithelantha micromeris - a non-active but self-fertile species.  Those babes are up for grabs if anyone wants them for free. 

What did you just say ferrel?  LOL

Yeah i think im over thinking the whole seed thing here. Maybe i should let the ants keep them. I havent had any unknown sprouts but one. One that i believe is Mammillaria theresae.

Good stuff old man. :grampofapproval:

Been trying a variation of grafting this year.  We are told that the stock should be young tissue, actively growing.  I wanted another grafted example of Toumeya papyracantha, which is difficult on its own roots, so I grafted a tip onto a pup of Myrtillocactus geometrizans - which certainly fits the criteria.



After two weeks there was clearly some growth, and the scion was well attached.



EDIT : some 4 weeks further on - more growth on the scion.



I definitely declare this graft a success.

Now I´m having a similar attempt on a pup - plenty of these blue Myrtle pups from earlier failed grafting attempts.  And the scion is a Lophophora williamsii - got stacks of those, my adults produce them in profusion.



I attached the scion with some plumbers´ PTFE tape - read about that on a Facebook group - it was so easy to apply, will do that one again.  So we will see how it goes.  A back to back success would be a real record breaker.

Thanks, ferrel-  I have been a pretty poor failure at grafting before now - hopefully this technique may help me improve.

Im sure it will. It is my expereicne that grafting takes time to get down right. Im still not 100% but ive gotten better. I think as time goes by we will tweek oir methods and improve with age. I hooe,we still got alot of time left.

Here it is 10 days down the line - the PTFE tape now removed - scion seems to be well attached. 



I will keep measuring to ascertain if there is growth.

I left the root in the pot, to see if it produces any pups - currently it is just callousing over, but still obviously alive - needs to be put back under the sun.
