Hana's cacti

[Hanazono]

Ariocarpus retusus

Ariocarpus retusus cv Shinkawa tama-zouge

Ariocarpus retusus cv tri-fingers
It has not shown the character of tri-fingers yet and so it is just a retusus.

[Hanazono]

Maximum and minimum temperatures of today will be 28 'C and 19 'C.
These old Ariocarpus is waiting the true autumn.

Hello Frank!

Wow, what an Astrophytum selection!
When I see this, I can also stop cacti cultivating.
Cologne is climatically not so ideal.


Best wishes

I visited Metz in France in November years ago for my business trip.
Cologne is further north.
I have never been there but I can imagine the climate.

Wow. Those A. kotschoubeyanus grafts are HUGE! How old are they? I presume you have regrafted them to E. jusbertii, right?

[Hanazono]

I grafted very young seedlings in 2009.
It was 2 days after the germination.

Yes the stock is E. jusbertii.
