They may not be all the rage but I love me some terscheckii, pasacana, validus and taquimbalensis forms.

Light brown spots with dark brown interior. They follow the entire rib. Does this look like a fungal issue or some other problem? I have an identical plant about 4 ft away from it under the same light and water conditions that looks healthy.

Should this recent purchase be removed from my other cacti? It started looking like humidity spots and came from a humid state but has spread and looks much worse. I have limited space so I might need to take the loss if she doesn’t have time to recover outdoors. Would it be worth cutting the tip, or is that already infected and just yet to show?

I’m not sure if it’s rooted yet but I received the cutting roughly 2 weeks ago and it’s been on perlite since. I haven’t given any water yet.

just some lumpy rib growth, maybe im being optimistic

Thank you u/prickocereus for the SASS x TPM.
I appreciate you delaying shipment so I could deal with a family emergency.

I noticed as soon as I unboxed it that it is pushing a pup. (Last slide)
I will definitely be purchasing more cactuses from you in the future!

I planted 5 segments of PC in a 25 gallon concrete pot in the shape of a hand reaching out of the soil. It exploded with 8 pups in total this summer. One of the pups was squished between the little finger and the ring finger of the San Pedro hand without much space to grow. This pup eventually grew to have a smooth growth tip. There was no obvious evidence of damage to the tip, so I assumed it just terminated on its own because it had no room. Now, it’s sending out a new pup from its highest areole.

Is this caused by the squish or could I have some cool new pc mutation that I should watch and eventually cut to propagate? I’ve just never seen one so smooth and undamaged.

Seeker of moisture. Eater of the enemy. There are always lots of “is this pest” posts on here. Here’s a friend! Don’t kill these guys.

You can tell a springtail by their movement/namesake. Blow on it and see if it jumps to a different area code. They are fast moving and deliberate. Can somewhat resemble an adult thrip but the movement is a dead giveaway.

After just 2 months in the dirt the log o’learnin has its first pup!

My last post received a small amount of hate on everything, saying that the container won’t hold up, it will take minimum 8 months to pup, my soil will rot the cactus. Everything seems to be going great! It’s only been watered once in the 62 days it’s been in the soil.

Pretty happy I’m excited to see if any more pups. Someone in the last post mentioned something about pupping cream or powder that can cause it more likely to bud out. Might look into that.

Just figured I would post a little update since I haven’t seen the log in roughly a month and was happy to see it grew an appendage 😀

Seems to look like the google image pictures of a flowering San Pedro Cactus - can anyone confirm or deny my suspicion please? Thank you!!

I picked up a grafted TBMA as part of a moving sale several months ago and it has done nothing and the graft stock hasn't tried to push pups. There are no areoles, so is it just chop time or is there some way to make this do something? For reference the second pic is a Bridge Baker #something that has sprouted three pups in the last month. Different graft stock and more skilled grafter but can't help but think the TBMA won't grow anymore. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I was vacationing in Arizona. I bought the seeds at a tourist trap. I am growing doubtful that they were San Pedro seeds.... Can someone identify the Cactus?
