Cactus ID Please!!!

5-hydroxytryptamine · 10-24-09, 22:19

Hi, I got this at the supermarket today. It looked like a pedro but I am no cactus expert...If I am a Lucky rabbit it will be my first active cactus!!

A lot of spikes broke off!!

should i rinse the roots and put in new soil/pot (its rooting out, plus the soil may need to change)

Thanks!!!

if im not incorrect i think that is Bridgesii or so it looks

Irishlion · 10-24-09, 22:38

that is diffently a trichocereus Bridgesii longispinus I would take that biggest cutting and make a tea and seperate the other 2 into diffent pots before their spines begin to poak into each other, Crowed bridges aren't a good thing. BTW NICE specimens man.

supermarket? wow, that does look like the bridgessi

. thought the spikes would be white by that age, but think that's ok.

Yes I would transplant if the roots are sticking out you dont want the sun to hit them (cover roots with towl intill transplanted) my peruvainas montrose had it's roots sticking out for a while and a white powdery mildew started climbing up the cactus. and took care of that but it lost alot of it's blue color.

No man, just wash them off and they will be fine and make sure you make a good drainage soil for them and MAKE SURE, you slipt those guys up.

Bridgesii at a supermarket?

Where is the section for MHRB?
And the one with dried P. Cubensis?
Tell me the name and location of this supermarket and I'll emmigrate!
