Lophophora seedlings
    #23405535 - 07/02/16 10:38 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

So I ordered an "Ariocarpus northern species" seedling online. The description didn't say much about it, but that the seeds they came from were from the cactus in the picture. Which was L williamsii.
I only paid for one, but the dude hooked me up with 2! And now that theyre here, I'm curious as to how I should transplant these (they shipped bare root.)
The seedlings are like 1/3" across, and have like an inch of taproot. Should I pot them in moist soil and cover it to keep the humidity in, or pot it, let it dry for 2 weeks and then bottom water?
I'm having trouble finding info, as I don't think peyote is normally transplanted this young. Any help would be appreciated.

Transplanting at a young age isn't a trouble. Take care handling the roots and if any get damaged, leave them out to heal and dry for another week or so.
Pot into dry rocks, not moist soil :grin: and leave alone for a while before a first drink.

Ah. So it wouldn't do well in a cactus soil mix with added perlite or aquarium gravel? That's what I've been putting all my other cacti in anyway

Is the gravel smooth or coarse? It is generally best to go with coarse gravel for the increased surface area. What does the cactus soil consist of? Much that is bagged and sold as 'cactus soil' isn't an ideal mix. Peat and bark is best avoided. Peat is hydrophobic and is tough to re-wet, best used for plants that like to be damp all the time.

:lol:

I like how you threw that in there. Im so glad more of us forego the organics and use striaght mineral.

As to the OP, seedlings of thw size are easy. But i mean easy. Even a 10th the size it would be easy. Ive dropped a tray or 2 in my day.

So follow MH's advice and transplant but hold off water 1 to 2 weeks minimum. 2 weeks is best. They can starve and plump back up in no time.

:goodluck:

Most stuff labelled ´cactus soil´ is full of acidic peat and ´forest product´ - read sawdust - and is totally unsuitable for Mexican desert cacti which thrive in habitat in a limestone based substrate.

Give them a mix heavy in coarse gravel - the aquarium gravel you mention is good - and with some lime, but not a lot of nutrition. A bit of loam or wormcasts is OK.

Thanks everyone. I've gotten most of my info from Erowid's visionary cactus guide.  I guess I'm gonna hit home depot and the likes today. And btw I'm using miracle grow "cactus, palm, and citrus" soil mix

Some of my Trichs are just in a 50/50 mix of builders sand and cheap potting soil with a fat handful of gravel added, should I consider transplanting these? They seem fine but I don't want to chance losing them.

And the gravel I have atm is smooth to the touch if that's what you mean. I kinda figured it wasn't the best
