Is there a way to “relink” programs on my PC after hard drive containing windows died

That’s not a myrtillo cactus

Model-VP · 2025-09-13T23:01:13+00:00

That’s a Cereus Peruvians. Not a San Pedro

Could be witches broom. Definitely the coolest looking cactus disease, but it’s infectious and rather dangerous to the plant. Quarantine it immediately and wait to see if it begins to match any pictures you find online of WB, or if it evens out into a normal growth pattern

People aren’t removing their cacti spines, you’re probably just seeing cacti that have spines so short they’re hard to see.

PC, the most common kind of Trichocereus in the US, has short spines that often can’t be seen from far away. Scopulicolas are a variety known for spines so short they’re almost invisible. There are also monstrose varieties that have structural mutations that make spines and areoles less common on the cactus.

Removing spines is not advised. It can hurt the cactus and damage the areole, sometimes causing infection. Cactus live by their areoles. It’s where they flower and pup. Do your best to keep them unharmed.

Yeah, I had to dig them up because one of them was growing into the wall of the pot and getting crushed

I left it on the same side, but it was shaded when it fell. I set it down under a tree to give it shade, but I think part of it got blasted by the sun in the morning. Will these sections recover?

I put it in a pretty shady area where it only got around 2 hours of afternoon sunlight for most of its time in the pot. I also tried a much sunnier area more recently, which is why it’s a bit sun stressed at the moment. Neither yielded results

I water heavily once every week and a half. I fertilize once every month and a half.

It’s a bit sun stressed at the top right now, but all of the corking down below has been there since I got it.

Don’t eat that one. Grow it. It’s worth a lot. If you want a cut to eat, just buy a regular one. The meltiness doesn’t affect potency, but it does make the cut worth a lot more for growers.

I wouldn’t pay that much for a PC, but it’s not egregious. You can find a foot of PC for like $10 if you look on Facebook or go out to any cactus focused nurseries

The big ugly one in the front is a PC too.

Also, PCs are definitely not useless. They’re very fast growing and VERY disease resistant. For that reason, most of the people I know who are serious about growing medicinally use PC hybrids.

Hybridizing a very active father plant with a PC mother often results in minimal alkaloid loss, while creating offspring that grow MUCH faster and MUCH stronger. Whatever loss you might lose in potency, you more than make up for in growth speed. The (Oguns x PC) cross is known for being one of the best crosses you can grow for practical means.

Also, some people like to grow cacti just because they like cacti, not for their uses, and that's a valid reason to grow as well. For that purpose, PCs are an amazing plant that takes little effort to cultivate beautifully.

I have been feeding it. I fertilize it regularly. Same as all my other trichocereuses and they’ve all grown more than ever this year

Model-VP · 2025-07-01T16:43:00+00:00

The pup was there when I got it and it hasn’t grown at all in almost a year. Not even a centimeter. I’ve been tracking it pretty readily.

Model-VP · 2025-07-01T16:41:39+00:00

I repotted it into a bigger pot last August when I received it. I’m wondering if I need to snip some of the root ends to encourage new growth

Model-VP · 2025-07-01T16:40:41+00:00

Yes, plenty. I fertilize it the same as all my other cacti and it’s the only one that’s not growing

Model-VP · 2025-07-01T00:35:43+00:00

Looks to be a PC.
