I have 2- 12" San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi, syn. Trichocereus pachanoi) cuttings for trade, these have been laying around the house and have started to send out roots and show new growth which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cuttings (90 degrees)
its a shame to see these go...

I live in southern california and we have TONS of cacti here, so I picked a small one and put him in some dirt/sand mix. Also, the small one might actually be a leaf from a mommy plant. Do ya tink it'll grow??? Now answer my question, while I go and pick out spines frome myself.
I'm johnny frye and I started growing sundews and venus flytraps about 5 months ago. I enjoy sadistically feeding live slugs and pillbugs to my venus flytrap until he gets big enough to eat my brother's frog. I also like to grow spiny cacti to protect my plants from my cat.:banana2:
PS: Just to...

A couple days ago our Home Depot received a shipment of CP's - 20 (typical) VFT's and 5 S. purpurea, ssp. venosa. I bought a purpurea, since all three of mine bit the dust in April. The gal who works for a plant vendor and does the maintenance for those plants asked me what to do with them. I...
It's made from worm poop! What do you think about this as a foliar feed, or even a pitcher feed if you are into that (I do) ?
They feed organic waste to worms then make a liquid spray-ready fertilizer out of the castings. They collect and recycle bottles (over 1.5 million so far) and donate...
I've been looking for a good English-speaking succulent/cactus forum on the net, but haven't found anything useful so far. The Gardenweb format is a total mess. There are two awesome German forums (natch - once the Germans latch onto a hobby, they make their own), but I just can't believe...
Hi,
What a great forum. I've been kinda lurking around here for awhile reading posts and getting alot of answers about CP's that I was wondering about. I'm new at growing those little devils, but really enjoy the challenge. I also grow many species of cacti, acer palmatum and other hardwood...

I rescued this little guy a few years back from Home Depot. The poor thing was dry and shrively, so I bought it. I potted it into the pot it's in now, and I have no idea as to what the soil is anymore. It never really did much, but when I put it outside a month ago, it grew like crazy and...
