Hey Guys,
One that I'm particularly happy to have is Echinopsis arboricolis; the only epiphytic Echinopsis which also happens to be very rare in the wild even. Perhaps a remaining link between the Rhipsalideae and terrestrial Echinopsis as we know them.
Another is Epiphyllum baueri, this is a...
I've done a lot of work with the ultra sonic foggers and they do 2 things;
1) they greatly raise humidity and......
2) they tend to kill things with over moisture, mold, mildew, bacteria, etc...
They are great for starting cuttings (probably the best) but once the cuttings are established they...
Hey Est, how art thou? yeah, haven't really talked to anyone on here in a while, I think I did reply to a couple cactus question in the other sub-forum. Yeah, I've been feeling chatty lately, so I suppose you guys will get a bit of me for a while

Hi to all of you out there! It's been a while and my knowledge has blown up beyond expectation! I've had the chance to collect some very rare cactus (no not just those ones ;) )I've been doing alot of organic work too. Thought I'd drop in and say Hi to all that remember me!
Hi!

Cereus tetragonus
aka Fairy Castles
It grows into a moderately large cactus, maintanable in a pot. The pot will fill with littler ones you see and it gets a sort of castle look to it.

water thoroughly and then allow to completely dry before watering again.
Grows mostly...
JLAP,
What do you think RoundUp is and why it's so effective. (or rather used to be until 2 years ago) I've used Cyto, Auxins, and Gibbs with no ill effects although sometimes hard to tell a difference in the plant too. Not all plants will respond much sometimes. X-mas cactus are an easy one to...
I grow tropical cactus but they have very similar drainage and root aeration needs and I have found these pots to be about the best for small pots, unfortunately I have not found them bigger. pots

I have not had the gh through a winter yet but we have been down in the 20'sF. at night and it maintains in the 70'sF. or wherever I set the thermostat. I can't say for sure of when the real cold sets in which will be in the -10'sF. So far so good though. Humidity has not been an issue.
I think...
Trichocereus is know part of Echinopsis but is currently being undertaken by Bob Schick of the Schick hybrids. http://www.labs.agilent.com/botany....ed.html
here's the article, a lengthy read but well worth it if you're interested.
and yes, I do have a couple of the column "Trichos" as well as...
They will flower in a shorter time period but yes, to mature size is quite a while........at least in a human time frame. The good thing is they do take from growth point cuttings quite readily in sand and lime with a little sulphur on the cut. They also will pup quicker when the "head" is...
Ok,
So I know this has surely been asked many a times; and once upon a time I did know but it has been a while since I had any interest.
Due to getting tired of trying to maintaine a chamber, I all together gave up on Neps but here I am now with a gh finally.
I want to know which could do...
