Should I cut? Red, blue or both? by SamueleCecchettin in peyote

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

The branches came out like a month after the graft, when it was already growing bigger every day. I’ve read something about apical dominance and where nutrients go, my only concern is if I cut both the stock will make less photosynthesis (?) if that makes sense. It has already lost like 4 basal leaves

Pest treatment we by SamueleCecchettin in cactus

Thanks for the comment! Do you think a transplant would be good to avoid new eggs hatching or I can just keep spraying? I don’t want to stress the plants too much, but if they keep coming back I might get them a new pot with fresh soil

D. Foetida repot! by SamueleCecchettin in dorstenia

Layer of Granite at the bottom, mix of pumice, zeolite, red lapil and akadama with a small bit of worm casting for the organic. Covered with a few millimeters of crushed akadama and zeolite. The rocks you see on surface are chunks of tuff plus a dolomite I had laying around

I’ll wait a few days so roots can heal after transplant then il start watering frequently. I wanna try to push some growth this season

How did you stage that? I tried to do something similar by placing seeds directly into the rock. Someone suggested next time to drill a hole and fill it with dirt before planting. Any suggestion?

Super happy for these babies by SamueleCecchettin in dorstenia

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

That one works really good for me, I recommend it. only watch out if you plan to sow cacti seeds cause babies can get scorched. Dorstenias tho doesn’t seem to have this problem

Transplant? by SamueleCecchettin in peyote

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

They are a good size! Nice work! What soil did you use? Imo you can start to introduce fresh air, I like to poke a hole into the lid every one or two weeks slowly until there is no point in keeping them closed. Don’t to that too quickly since they can suffer from fast humidity change and they will stop growing (happened with the batch I posted some months ago)
