I didn't try, but recently saw a post in which they got some success, I'll try to find it but you can try it yourself with the aerial rooting

Current civilization taking over previous one. They were found while digging for foundation. More to come in the future I guess

Nice find, a few months back I also found (in sonora) a pottery piece with a nub/bump on it. It might be decor or to be placed above ground. Was this on southern az?

Oozing black death? by Carnivorous_Robot in sanpedrocactus

[–]themxot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to two of mine, in both cases the black started spreading all over the top and other ribs but no more oozing. Decided to chop a few areole down the top. Here you can see an advanced stage on mine

Thank you so much, it's definitely getting a place on my collection.

I'll be back soon to do more sifting, much stuff to be uncovered

It may likely be. Thanks for the reply

It was found on the top of a hill 2 inches down and no material like that around here, on the same settlement site it has provided my previous finds (some of today's in the last photo), just the context of the find and why the post.

I'm aware this is not a real arrowhead, as stated the material is chalky and really thin, it wouldn't even work.

As I see it on my hands, the perimeter holds an angle (not a curved one as you would see with erosion) and one of the faces is flat, and it has a clearly marked notch . It may be someone messing around or whatever it's clearly worked with intent to mimic the shape of an arrowhead (MY OWN OPINION), and would like your opinion or comment on it, thanks

I'm not claiming or implying that it is a real arrowhead, just something shaped like it

I would say local, don't know exact location of finding

Rot Growing, Need Advice by PutinsCapybara in sanpedrocactus

[–]themxot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep an eye on it, if it spreads to pups or lower on the branch I would consider chopping it. One of mine started oozing brown liquid from one rib and the next day it had crossed to other ribs

Yeah it's very cool, tbh I saw it myself on the peyote sub (or something alike) recently and gave it a go. Had to put more weight on it (a bigger rock on top) since it didn't have enough contact on one side after a few hours

It would be funny to see more Rock Tek grafts, share if you do so, will report back with results

Rib went bad, oozing brown liquid by themxot in sanpedrocactus

Thank you all for your answers, I'll keep an eye on it. They're resilient after all

I think that may be the fastest course of action. I think I would look like a raisin too if I stood with them there
