Hana's cacti
Hana's cacti
I am a hobby cacti collector.
I stated to collect cacti when I was quite young but I moved around various places and lost all previous collections.
The current collection was started in 2003.
Cacti are kept in 2 greenhouses set on my backyard.
It is in winter in here and you can not see any flowers at moment.
Large greenhouse (12.5 m x 6.6 m)
various cacti
Small greenhouse (5.5 m x 3.5 m)
Asterias cultivars only

Re: Hana's cacti
Beautiful pictures! Do you have any regular ones?

Re: Hana's cacti
Since I tried to show whole room by one shot, a special camera was used.
The large greenhouse needs 4 shots at leased and small one is also not able to show by one shot.
The attached photo is the inside of small one taken by a normal camera.
It can not show some parts of the room.

Re: Hana's cacti
It is not so much job in relation to cacti currently.
I have started to degraft some scions.
The photo is degrafted 2 years old Astrophytum hybrid, fukuryu-banjyaku.
They are set on empty pots and under drying.
I will set them on potting-mix early spring, in the end of August.

Re: Hana's cacti
That's totally impressive. Nothing like specializing in plants as fascinating as those.
Degrafting is as much an art as grafting, isn't it? Whether to leave no stock, a tiny stump of the stock, enough of the stock to bury, but still save a scion known for root problems....
Patience is a big factor. I'm still learning new things every growing season.
Very nice set up you have.

Re: Hana's cacti
A grafted Aruicarpus kotschoubeyanus v elephantideus was in flower in the afternoon.
I sowed seeds on 13th August last year.
24 of very young seedlings were grafted.
This is one of them.

Re: Hana's cacti
I set offsets of 3 species in 65 mm square pots for rooting in this morning.
15 offsets were set in total.
The rooting medium is pumice sand.
Discocactus horstii x 6
Uebelmannia buiningii x 4
Astrophytum hybrid fukuryu banjyaku x 5

Re: Hana's cacti
It is not the flowering season but it is the season of turning body color.
Photos are Astrophytum myriostigma cv khoyo & kikkou.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
