This thread was inspired by Prisms setup thread where he and Myc posted some nice images of their babies.

Everyone please feel free to post images of their cactus. They can be any variety cacti you are proud of!

prism · 10-03-08, 11:07

Oh Cool!!

I will get some pics tonite and post em!!

cuts · 10-03-08, 11:31

YEP me too. Gotta get my digital camera up n running

Shadowlord · 10-03-08, 13:38

I'll take some new pics of my Pedros. They are growing quick! The Peruvian Torch however doesn't appear much different. I'll see if I can find my original pictures and make a b/4 and after set up.
My cacti, BTW, were kindly given to me by a fellow member here.

You know who you are!

Nunyabiz · 10-03-08, 13:55

Heres some of the latest and greatest.. Cant get em all in this post so ill post some more later. Planning to get some Bridgesii and Peruvianus cuttings next spring. Those four tall pedros were like 14" this spring. They grew over 6 inches a piece from cutting. next year they should go nutz.

prism · 10-03-08, 14:08

Awesome Nunya!!!

cuts · 10-03-08, 14:12

YEA man, gotta give you props on them

bobdolerson · 10-03-08, 18:00

The bud grew since 2 weeks ago, and the smallest in the picture of 3 has grown that big from a bud 3 months ago. I never imagined they'd be this fast.

The smallest had some rot problems that i think came from an adjacent cactus cutting with an infected base, but it has since healed and grown another inch.

Btw, will they add to their width as they grow? or is that a problem? I can't leave them outside (neighbor kids like to steal/break/fuck up for no reason) so they don't get a lot of sun, i was thinking that could be it...

Raziel · 10-04-08, 19:01

Nice cactus Mermaidia

Wish I had a decent camera, only have a phone camera but have loads of cacti to show off. If I can get my flat mate to lend me his I will post some pictures.

How old are they and were they grown from seed ? I live in England so obviously isn't cacti weather so growth isn't that fast for me

Nice pics all !!!

Mermaidia · 10-04-08, 19:06

The pic with the little one in the middle was started from seed. It was the only one of CM's seedlings i didn't kill.

the first was given to us almost 2 years ago. All the pups you see are from the last year.

The others were also given to us.

Nightwind · 10-06-08, 16:27

prism · 10-06-08, 16:31

Nightwind · 10-06-08, 16:42

thanks,the old girl in flower, that branch snapped off two days later.

HUMBLE STUDENT · 10-06-08, 18:53

BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS! did you collect any seeds from them?

twoguysupnorth · 10-06-08, 19:13

really nice! i like looking at established plants and babies. i like your little doll too,lol.

rocketman · 10-06-08, 20:05

Wow! All the beautiful cacti!

I wish more folks would grow these great plants

Fresh Brewed · 10-06-08, 20:15

Wow Nightwind! Impressive...How long have they been planted in that spot?

suckerfree · 10-07-08, 01:11

moon and hylocereus

Trichocereus bridgesii var. monstrose

assorted pedros and peruvian

Hoodia gordonii

Peyote (and in the blue cups you can see the bottom's of my pere's)

twoguysupnorth · 10-07-08, 01:16

just bought or planted from seed this yr you really have to look.

Shadowlord · 10-07-08, 02:08

Great Pics everyone!
As mentioned in my earlier post, here are some b/4 and after photos of my little babies.
Once again, they were given to me by a cool fellow member here. Hopefully he'll see these pics.
Here are some of them when they arrived and were first potted:

Shadowlord · 10-07-08, 02:11

And here are a few more, taken tonight, showing their progress.
The little one, a Peruvian Torch, doesn't seem to be growing very fast if at all. It looks fine otherwise, but little growth while the San Pedros are growing well.

teesus · 10-07-08, 08:41

the latest addition to my garden. i found it yesterday in the gardening section of a hardware store for 3.99 euro

golly · 10-07-08, 09:13

Oh,,, the carnage..!!
All just dug from the garden and potted for winter..Tip cuttings taken..
The spiny one [Bridgesii i think] is going to be a real hazard when he grows up..

prism · 10-07-08, 09:15

Awesome!!

cubpedro · 10-07-08, 10:30

Cornfield · 10-07-08, 16:36

Let them eat cake.

mycobri · 10-07-08, 20:05

some of these outdoor pedros were once pups.
they grow in shade and have some etoilation.
Now they will (hopefully) go dormant
to survive a very cold winter

i have to Thank East for this one

planted this log horizontally in the Summer
since then it has grown a pup

last but not least -my Favorite

Ariocarpus Fissuratus that was rescued from a
Texas construction site. it was over 20 years old when
i got it, and that was over 3 years ago

PsychoDrogue · 10-07-08, 20:40

Pretty cool on the horizontal one. I was thinking about doing that with one of my cuttings but it'll probably wait til i have a few more to spare (next year).

prism · 10-07-08, 21:14

So will they pup all over the side? Is that the idea?

If so, That is awesome!!

PsychoDrogue · 10-07-08, 21:53

Im not sure if it pups the entire length, im sure it would after some time, but the entire bottom half will shoot off roots creating a much larger root network, much faster.

Nightwind · 10-08-08, 03:04

the big one in flower has been there for about 20
years and all the rest from about the same time on.

every year for the last ten, the old pedros
have gone to flower and then seed, we keep
every year in our seed bank.

got about 250-350gms last year.which is when
those pics were taken.

cuts · 10-08-08, 11:47

hey mycobri, I was reading into Ariocarpus Fissuratus and i was wondering about the effects and the amount of buttons you'd have to eat for full effect....if you know. BTW nice cacti guys. Wish i had a working digital camera

chimp · 10-08-08, 17:15

Here's some of mine..I haven't gotten the whole collection moved to my new spot yet..But I am working on it slowly but surely

Shadowlord · 10-08-08, 17:30

Looking good Oibchip!
I see you have one w/ rabbit ears too! LOL!
The other one looks like a goalpost HeHe.

Nunyabiz · 10-10-08, 13:01

Heres some more.. The first pic is one thats been harvested and the second is a pic of it growing back. It has 5 heads now. Was about baseball size before cutting. The last pic is a grafted aztekium.

Does anyone know approximately how much dry wheight youll get per foot of fresh cacti?

rocketman · 10-10-08, 13:40

Awesome pics everyone! I am honestly surprised to see how popular cacti have become here

little white rabbit · 05-13-09, 10:50

here are some pics, taken with my systers cellphone. bad quality, but everything i have at the moment... maybe i show some more pics of my complete collection when i have a camera. i've already talked with a friend to borrow his

1. first seedlings of the year, L. williamsii and diffusa, T. peruvianus, terscheckii and pachanoi
2. some two day old L. williamsii from the rest of the seeds
