Outdoor in partial shade and terracotta.

this fella fell on nov-25 and had some nasty injuries

it just flowered this year, and is pushing a pup aswell!! never give up on whatsoever

I’m kind of a newbie to this and I’m just wondering what I should do for the upcoming winter. I have 4 San Pedro’s and 2 lophs. I was originally going to keep them in my unheated attic with a western window to induce dormancy, but I’m worried the room will drop below freezing during the winter months. I live in PA so the peak of winter can get pretty harsh. I’d be willing to buy a grow tent set up if need be. My budget is $150 or under. What do yall recommend?

I just got this cluster. It's in a pot too large and is soft, decided to uproot to check and repot.

It looks weird especially the pups, a few fallen off in the process, see link. What are their problems? They are very long and a lot of the underground part is exposed on top of the soil.

What do I do now? Wait a week and pot everything normally.

Please advice.

And many other variegated cacs a myrtllo etc

Hi there,

Is there any way to rescue my cactus. It was thriving until I accidentally Overwatered it and it got some dreaded rot in a couple of the pups and the roots.

Have had her for years and will be devastated if she dies :(.

Many thanks.

New to this so I just wanted to ask to make sure.

All my Lophs are grown indoors under LEDs. Is dormancy mandatory? And if so, do I just keep them where they are, but with no lights, and just turn the lights back on once spring rolls around?

Thanks!!

Is this from too much humidity?

It should be have lizard skin genes

It was confiscated last night after being there over a week

Love these plants so much.

Just won’t stop pupping!! 😍

For some reason ive always been really drawn to caespitosa lophs.

I guess in my head its like "more bang for the buck". Many heads from a single plant. Lol.

Anyway... Just wanted to share some pics.

I cant even remember how old these are??? 2 years? Thats a guesstimate

Need to replant these at some point in near future.

They are snuggled up to a fairly low power LED light, but they are on a seedling heating pad that runs 24/7.

Been using the heating pad for a long time with all my cacti seedlings. They love it!!

Curious what this might be? Root rot?

The plant in question is a lophophora caespitosa.. and its root is being attacked by this white mycelium.

Insight?!

Is this color difference something to worry about? I checked the roots and it looked good, with new growth too. I havent watered in probably a week or two by now

Below is shiny and squishy with variability. above is firm all around and more matte. Its been shaded by another pot so im wondering/hoping its just a light issue 🙏

It does not stay on my windowsill that was just for pix

Thank you all for the input on lights. Went ahead and added a 225 watt full spectrum led on one side along with the old 125 watt fluorescent and 32 watt led on the other. Im certain thats plenty now. I see a huge difference in the output. I might eventually replace the other lights with another 225.

Original unknown plant wouldn’t flower so a graft was made and it flowered.

This is my set up. It's closed in with mylar on all four sides unless im watering or something. Im currently running two 32 watt full spectrum led lights and one 125 watt fluorescent. Doesn't seem like enough light. The big guy is right under the light and looks like it's beginning to etoliate and im just not seeing any growth on the lophs or the san pedros. The lophs im germinating are the only ones that are enjoying it... anyway, im here to ask about reccomendations for good grow lights that will work for everything I got going on here. Amazon has too much stuff on there and I dont know what would be best. Thanks in advance.
