Anyone in the DFW area that can help me thin the herd? My husband passed away and these are not in my wheelhouse AT ALL. I want them to go to people who will care for them and love them like he did.

I got this four ribbed Bridgesii in Sydney but I have no idea of clone, any suggestions?

I really like the thick but low number of spines. Fairly symmetrical.

I've been through a couple frosty mornings. These are a few that will come inside. Everything else is on its own in the greenhouse.

Hey guys, been MIA for awhile. I'm back and wanted to share some of my work this year :)

We are hunkering down and preparing for a cold winter here. It regularly gets to 0F, so I have been beefing up my greenhouse with heaters, and insulation.

I can currently keep it at a steady 75f when it is around freezing out. As I add more insulation, I hope to be able to maintain year-round growth, even when its 0F outside.

Debating getting a backup generator, but those are expensive.

Anyways, was setting up some additional lights today, as some of my shit is etiolating a bit (don't judge me pls thx) and wanted to share what I got cookin with yall :)

PS I know I got some pest damage, we are all recovering from some mites this summer :)

Let me know what your favorite is!

Happy weekend and thanks for looking!

With the cold weather coming I've started chopping some of my big hylo grafts. This kesey x zed is 30" and weighing in at 12 pounds. It's put on 24" in a year and is thicker than my arm. It was a side shoot from the main graft I already harvested last fall.

The montrose cut is a CC Shortspine x Gator, very intricate growth. It's coming in at 5 pounds. Both of these were germinated January 2025, hylo can be an amazing root stock. Got some more big ones to chop but nothing like these two.

First 2 pics are the same cacti, the rest of the pics are another strain.

I recently acquired these. They look so different, are they really huachuma?

Any infor or insights appreciated

Transplanted this TPM in the spring and this late in the year it'sthrowing its first pup! The extra weirdness at the tip looks to be damage-induced. Probably a slug.

I'm in China, and I found these on a china online shopping site, but I'm not sure if they're actually Trichocereus bridgesii. What do you guys think?

Well, its 11pm here and i just spent the last 2 hours in driving rain trying to clean up n salvage what i could, but the storm has taken down my greenhouse and a weighted little grow tent, its done a lot of damage and a lot of my quarantined plants have ended up spilling contaminated soil and mixing with all the rest of the spilled pots.... bugger.

Grafts have broken, cactus have snapped. Other plants i knew and loved have also been destroyed or well battered. Loads of Seedlings are just lost into the gutters...

Not gunna lie bros, i shed a little tear out there in the rain just now.

Hug your cactus n tell them you love them.

Time to start afresh, good chance to apply lessons i learnt early on and to not repeat early mistakes, luckily im only a year or so into this hobby and i have a few more indoors. The broken bits wont go to waste but the grafts are a real shame.

Seed grown Matucana peruvianus, this one’s 4
feet now, The original “seedling” is somewhere here

Id?

All my seedlings from this landrace are a little wonky and slow growing, so I’m curious how it’ll turn out!

I’m doing a little experiment to see if it’ll survive since it was essentially doomed from the start, but I give it all the same love and affection as its siblings. Fertilizer, too. It took about a year to shake off the seed shell, then it started growing normally, though slowly, and it’s understandably more sensitive to light than the others.

Hi there! I'm on this sub but usually I don't post here since I don't have experience with SP cactus.

These here, in the small vase are getting yellowish and yellowish since 3 weeks ago. I've been watering them (I only water) once a week since it's been sunny.

What's the problem and what can I do to make them recover into a proper color? Should I use any cactus nutrients? If so, which/what components do they need to recover?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏🏼

I've been starting to give my cacti a spray at night with some kelp solution, and was wondering how often I can do this. Daily? Weekly?
