I have a few cacti, no idea what kind though. Lost my 5 1/2 foot beauty trying to repot after a toddler mishap last summer. Had it for years. Still bummed about it.

So happens I had another mishap with my baby girl and another cactus couple days ago; she pulled a branch off. I immediatly placed it in water (the branch, not the baby :)) but have no idea if this is the right thing to do. Any ideas?

i looked up san pedro. nice. slice and boil for 7 hours drink in ceremony. sounds good. i have checked on peyote. i just vaguely remember they take a looooong time. i was just talking to the wife a few days ago about cocoa plants. i did the poppies this year and they are pretty flowers but the petals fall off in 2 days. i have hella seeds. i'm getting very interested in exotics for next springs planting.

That's an opium poppy. Where the fuck do you live to grow THAT?? Those are worth so much fucking money

hey fletch, pm me sometime....

here are two i'm trying to figure out; one is a t.peruvianus, the other (with longer spikes) is throwing me. can anyone tell me if this is a trichocereos? here are the two...




The one on the left in the top picture is true Peruvianus. The one of the right is Trichocereus Peruvianus KK242 variety (or possibly a t. cuzcoensis, but I doubt that).

you need to remove it pronto. cacti cuttings are easily done, but they must be allowed to dry out for two weeks; the wound will heal into a calous, and the cutting can then be planted. take it out of the water and let it dry out.

i thought it was a cuzcoensis too at first, but the color of the spikes is different.... it's still small though, another year of growth will help in identification :)
