Re: my collection so far....
Is the Pelecyphora stombiliformis self fertile and if so, did you pollinate? I need to get going on the roof for my outdoor shelf now, some of the plants looks like they could use some more light.
I think I almost killed one of my Loph last week. Two good waterings with a week apart made it turn pale green and then it started to make bubbles from the growth point it looked like some foam on top of the plant, when I looked closer it made bubbles...really weird, or some kind of super photosynthesis going on, but I doubt that . Have you seen anything like that?

Re: my collection so far....
Yeah I have try self fertilisation with the stombiliformis just wait and see what happens. I leave the top of my green house open in the summer too so the bees and other pollinators can get at the flowers. My lophs get quite a bit of water in the summer but never see them produce foam. Try looking up froghopper larvae, they make a foamy nest on green growth might be one of them.

Re: my collection so far....
Looking really good! The unknown is probably Sedum sp. Sedum album is pretty common up here.

Re: my collection so far....
Which stenocereus do you think? I eliminated pruinosus far two many spines and not pruinose at all. I thought maybe something from the old trichocereus group which now fall under echinopsis.

Re: my collection so far....
It could be, it was in a Mexican desert mix seed packet. The are a lot of ribs on this one though so think I will need it to grown much more before the ribs start getting more defined

The plant on the left looks exactly like mine. Here are a couple of pictures of mine - See if it matches up to yours.adetheproducer wrote:It could be, it was in a Mexican desert mix seed packet.

Re: my collection so far....
This loph has started fruiting which has thrown some doubts over the species. It was bought as lophophora viesca which I took to be a fricii albiflora. Following some previous comments on this thread decided it was probably a koehresii but the fruit sens far too red any further comments would be welcome. I do have amother fricii and koehreshii and have pollinated this plant with both several times.

Gutting. This looked a bit yellow so I gave it a feel and it's dead and smelled a bit funny too.

Re: my collection so far....
Always a shame to lose a plant. You could try to graft the individual tubercles.
