Hi everyone here is a picture of one of my cactus. It has been inside for the winter at inside temps. Well its lost its green and looks dry but still has weight to it. Also it seems to have a great big root base if you look at the picture closely you can see where I cleared a bit of dirt around that...

Thanks Mike and Rosemarie I would have never figured that out. I Googled Euphorbia polygona and that seems to be a good match.

Again thanks Im very glad to have found this site.

I have had this cactus for seven years and haven't really ever found another like it. It came from a cacti show in Bakersfield, ca. They said it was a rare snow cactus :?: It is making 3 cut lings a year now from the root up. the second picture is one i removed last year. I just have never know what...

Nope the purple spot is hard I am feeling ok about it. I think it is just some over active coloring. But I haven't dealt with to many sick cati just root rot when I used to water to much when I first started collecting. If it does get sick I will dig up this post and let you guys know. Plus I wont b...

Hum the spot is purple not charcole I thought it was just a little discoloration since the cactus has blue not green skin. I really like them hope there ok

Just received these bare root very happy with there condition. they are : Pilosocereus Azureus qty2 Euphorbia Obesa qty1 http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o205/Kristinaannef/newbaby.jpg I have never bought bare rot before so just put them in the pot no water yet thinking about maybe a little Kristina

Im not sure why you cut it in-half at this point but at any rate if you get both halves to root the one with out a top should make you some babies out of its chopped of top.

Everyone here is right its pretty hardy you should have no problems.


Good Luck
Kristina

Here is a picture of my split rocks I am wondering is it mandatory they they all split and I new plat comes out of the middle. As you see only one is doing this. So i am wondering if its a problem. My question is. 1)Do they all split every year 2) If so do they die if they don't split. I have had th...

They are right, just leave tell spring but personally I often get so disturbed by the fact they are sitting in plastic and not clay I just cant stand it and very gently break that rule. :roll: Some of my best Cacti were in the clearance section of OSH. My big ball Cati were $3.00 bucks each cause th...

I am not the best person to answer your question but I am seriously interested in these (split rocks) as we call them. I d know if you do water them make it sparse amunt of water. I have watered my last group only twice this year once in AUG and a sprinkle in Sept. So far so good! Hope that helps I ...

Very Nice for sure. I really like the colors!!!!

:D Before I started learning about cactus I used to re-root my cactus cuttings (columnars) using root hormones with fungicide (Rootone). I also planted them immediately after the procedure. Now I let them dry for a week before doing anything and still use just a bit of Rootone on them. I know that ...
