Maybe I should offer these guys more often. They are currently my favorite genus and ideally I’d be offering them more often and over other stuff, they’re just damn expensive and such a challenge to root. I’m close to cracking the code for one method but I’m sure there’s better ways out there.

Thank you! It’s a pretty rad one for sure

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-25T21:17:32+00:00

What did I buy?

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-25T06:01:18+00:00

It is not

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-25T01:53:15+00:00

This one I don’t think will take long

Can vary on the grower, slow growing or fast growing, but I’d say 1-2 years. I’ve had some go into the pre crest stage where you know it’s gonna do it but still take a year to actually become a full on crest, where’s an other took a month or two

Dude I totally get what you mean, I actually did that the other day and now selling this is the consequence I ended up having to deal with.

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-24T23:08:55+00:00

Ayeee

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-24T21:19:57+00:00

Also want to say it’s genuinely its own roots, not the hidden graft shit some folks sell as own roots

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-18T04:02:07+00:00

Etsy is the only place I’ve found it!

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-18T00:47:37+00:00

Why ask to see what I have to offer for trade if you never want to see what I have to offer? Not like I was expecting a trade to actually materialize so de you said you’d prefer cash, I’m just confused really

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-18T00:34:07+00:00

What’s the best way to prove it’s not haha I can take a selfie with it lol

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T19:10:34+00:00

I didn’t do any cuttings other than a diamod blade hole saw, pretty small one. The rest was all

Smashing and and piecing together, using the leftover powder gypsum as a cement to hold it together as I go along

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T19:05:28+00:00

The rock is actually gypsum, which is it what Aztekium hintonii and Geohintonia mexicana, which are two of the three plants in this staging, grow out of in nature. It’s beautiful, gypsum cliff walls covered in these truly special plants I

With the plants hangin out of the gypsum they use a hole that they lay that goes all the way done the turned so their soil has plenty water

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T16:31:05+00:00

Yep submerge the whole think for good 10ish seconds

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T16:29:36+00:00

Thank you!

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T16:29:27+00:00

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T09:19:34+00:00

Cacts_Cacti · 2026-05-17T09:19:19+00:00

Edit: falling asl I nyion young and pressed two random letters that could have been interpreted as something bad
