I just received these rooted pc recently, this one was getting a little more sun than others. It was pretty green but now you see the mid yellowing, and having small almost unnoticeable spots?
I think it's sun stress maybe, as I live in Texas and it's summer. I have my newer plants getting full sun pretty much til around 12-1pm then dappled rest of day and shaded pretty hard between 1-4.
Any advice is appreciated. 🖤
I am looking for a good deal on some bulk rooted pc, I have some cacti that are in pretty bad shape and I think the only way to save them is to graft the tips
If you have some nice plump stock ready to graft onto, or can point me at who does, I'm highly interested. I guess they don't have to be pc, as long as is good stock. Thanks so much and I posted a flower for fun. :)
I want to start grafting seedlings for propagation and fun. I got some peres cuts and rooted them. Once rooted I am cutting at about 6 inches or where it begins to get thinner, and leaving these in their own pots to become moms.
Is this the best way to create mother plants (short thick stalks hopefully spitting out thick pups)? Does anyone have tips and tricks on getting them as fat as possible? Does in ground give way thicker plants? I have messed with peres here and there but I never figured out how to get them super thick.
A few years back I had COVID and some bodily injuries at the same time. I couldn't even get out of the bed for a week. It just so happens that week was what we in Texas call the plantpocalypse, a super bad freeze that we don't often see here.
Wiped out every single plant I had outside which was 99%. I didn't even know the freeze was happening. I was so out of it and nobody brought it to my attention (I blame me I am just saying).
When I walked out and saw what happened I cried, and became super depressed and quit growing plants. I didn't even grow food or anything I was so beaten down emotionally by it. Plants were my favorite thing aside from my family too, it was just really bad.
I started using reddit here pretty recently after a long hiatus and slowly but surely all the dope pics started to rekindle my love for growing plants. This sub in particular really helped bring me out of my funk. Ive been growing food again, buying and starting cacti from seed, and growing other fun plants from seed.
I just want to say thanks for everything you all post. Seeing other people lose plants and not trip over it helped my plant PTSD or something lol. I am so appreciative because I now remember how fulfilling this is. I also missed the community aspect of trading and stuff. I can't wait til I have some stuff propagated and can share with you all.
The pics are of a baby Bruce's dragon I got from East Austin Succulents. Such a banger I can't wait for it to get big. If anyone has some cool phenotypical (I know this is clone only but I mean the expression based on environmental factors) expressions of this clone please post in comments, it is one of my favorite trichs. Thanks for your time and attention and have a great day.
Good afternoon! My name is Birdie, I'm from Texas, and I freaking love plants. Cacti constantly amaze me and I'm a bit of a tricho head.
I hope you are all doing well. I am stoked to see all the neat stuff everyone has. I'm sort of new to this hobby so I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions, sorry in advance.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and I am going to go scroll endlessly through these trich subs. 💙
