Re: Cacti Guides' Lophophora Guide

Re: Is My lophophora williamsii rotting
Hello
They look fine to me. Try poke gently with your finger If it doesnt cave in its fine. Lophophora can feel a bit squishy.

Re: Help! T. Peruvianus is developing a couple purple areas! Yikes
Another idea. It might just be edema from overwatering because you mentioned you just watered it and it looks very plump. The Black ooze is alkoloids. I have had same issues, it usually scars the damage but it can also be fatal because there is an opening for bacteria. See picture from my cactus dam...

Re: Are both Echinopsis peruviana?
Hi maybe late reply but I answer anyway. The one at left looks like Peruvianus but the one on the right is 100% not Peruvianus.
