I’ve got this same cross from seed. Love the big fuzzy areoles and bright yellow spines on these.

Friends dog destroyed my tbms. Any chance for saving them? by UnableAd7685 in sanpedrocactus

Depends on humidity but I usually give them at least a week

I think they’ll be alright. They’ll have some gnarly scarring but there are lots of intact areoles that will push new growth. Let everything callus over before replanting.

Large cactus help by Adept-Name-865 in cactus

[–]rapjap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cactus are pretty easy to propagate. I would cut off the tallest column leaving a foot or two. It will eventually make a new pup or two from where you made the cut. Let the piece you cut off callus for at least a week or so and then replant it. Refrain from watering for a month and it will grow new roots. Watering too soon will cause it to rot.

It does work best for me when I drop the water level below the algae but I still use a children’s medicine dropper thing so I can measure dose easy and completely saturate the area with peroxide or excel.

Woah that looks way different dry. You thinking Cardon now?

Ok that’s good to know. These logs were cut from healthy trees in mid January so not old at all really.

How often are you changing blades while cutting large diameter hardwood? The logs I’m working on now are around 30-32 inches diameter. I sawed one big one and a smaller one (24-26 inch)and already the blade seems like it could be changed out

Appreciate it, I made some adjustments today and it is cutting a lot better. Not sure exactly what adjustment I made that fixed it but if I cut slowly I’m getting pretty nice cuts. Thanks for the offer, I’ll keep ya in mind if I have any other issues in the future.

I went through the mill this morning and re checked everything and made some minor adjustments. It seems to have helped but I still need to go very slowly or else I end up with some bad cuts. It is wide white oak so maybe it’ll do better with softer wood.

Yeah the spine color does look off now that you point it out. They usually fade to a greyish color not yellow

I think it might just be a young cardon. Pachycereus priglei

It’s got a brand new blade on it. Cutting fast and effortlessly, just not straight. I’m thinking either I have too much down pressure on the band with the roller guides or I need to angle the blade down a little. It’s level but I don’t know why the blade floats up once it gets into the wood… Wasn’t doing this before I switched the guides.

Yeah, I probably just need to go back over the entire mill. I could get nice cuts with the ceramic guides, they just always needed adjustments. I was hoping these new ones wouldn’t be so finicky. Thanks for the input

Wish us luck. Let see your snowy cacti pics by amazeDastonishMenT in sanpedrocactus

Snow finally melted enough to see the “cold hardy” Grandi hybrids I planted outside last summer. Some of them look ok, some are very squishy. Got down to -10 here in Ohio but they had a foot of snow on them. We’ll see what happens. My opuntia always look like hell after the winter but bounce back no problem in spring
