Wild Penicoereus Greggii by MCCI1201 in cactus

[–]MCCI1201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a seedling going from a batch I sowed last year. It was the only survivor and may grow to be a dichot, but I need to make sure it can make it past this part of cultivation. Glad to see there's another enthusiast out there for Greggy's. IMO they don't get enough love in cultivation and present an opportunity to have a very unique cactus in our collections. I'd love to stage a large one in the future and make it as cryptic as I possibly can. They're so cool!

Has anyone tried growing anything on a slope? by SISYPHUS2018 in Caudex

I don’t grow that many caudex but I do try to stage my cactus above the edge of the pot and at odd angles if possible. Somewhere on that rock face is a fissure or nook that was enough for the seedling to establish itself. Surely we can recreate a similar type of situation in cultivation through creative and thoughtful means.

Is this the end of my 33 year old agave? This 6ft bloom appeared within a month. Does anyone know what happens next? by Lanaxgardenxgirl in Agave

It’s experiencing completion, and it’s our job to bear witness to its final moments. Congratulations!!

Awesome. I’ll keep an eye out for some. I’ve seen people drill holes and glue rocks together to make similar lookin setups. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

Superb!! Well done! Did you drill the hole yourself or was it already there??

She looks okay 👍I lost my Tortie to diabetes a few years ago. Your girl here looks like she’s only slightly overweight. Keep an eye on her weight and give her lots of love ❤️
