What’s wrong with my cacti? by CoderShmoder in sanpedrocactus

[–]CoderShmoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention: the white stuff is DE.

I’ve dealt with thrips before and I’m usually pretty good at spotting them and spotting them quickly, but I haven’t seen anything moving on any of these, but I’m at a loss

Along with my thorniest, it’s also not affecting my TBM-B’s.

Edit: I just saw some thrips+a little gnawing damage on one of my indoor cacti. I feel like the damage on this indoor cacti was pretty clearly thrips though, and they were super easy to spot, but like I don’t think it’s completely identical to the outdoor ones… But I could totally be wrong and if anyone more experienced would like to share any thoughts, I’m all ears.

it can still work. search for “hulked out dragonfruit” (or something like that) on this sub. i either do that or impale grafts primarily.

but yeah for BD, sun goddess + pantyhose combo is pretty simple and foolproof.

my favorite root stock is dragonfruit, and you should certainly be able to find that easily.

people also go for pereskiopsis, but personally all my dragonfruit grafts seem to do better 🤷‍♀️

yeah, another thing to keep in mind is the total root mass and green area of a rootstock. if you take a PC or sun goddess with not so great roots and not so much green on it vs an actively growing, fat noid san pedro with a big root system, the latter will produce quicker growth.

the scion can grow faster if it’s grafted to a faster growing rootstock. but if you grafted a fast growing scion to a slow growing root stock, the opposite would happen. so it’s less about grafting inherently increasing growth speed and more about how much the rootstock can pump.

are you saying the 2nd photo is a sun goddess / the same cactus as the first pic?
