I want to uppot them in new soil. Any tips?

He looks like a williamsii to me, but I’d love to hear other opinions if anyone thinks differently!

When will I learn 🤣

Hi, amateur grower trying to get a small collection going, and made a kinda dumb purchase of a degraft several months ago. Better than poached, and still really fun for a newb who thought I’d never grow any, but now I want “natural” ones if possible and seems deep root ones are healthier and can be watered less. Also one pup rotted cause they have soft stalks/necks or whatever that stay in contact with wet soil..

I’m considering removing the pups and rooting them (if possible), maybe some grafts onto trichos, to get the main one buried. Is this a good idea? Any tips on how to root the pups if so? Or should I just let it root in like an inch or two of soil/medium? It is working.. but I don’t like it. I do have some proper rooted little ones and seedlings 😔🤷‍♂️

I let them get blasted by as much sun as it can get with no shades. Water maybe once a month or less and not even dunk, just light sprinkle.

I don’t treat all my guys like this. But I really do enjoy seeing them at their extreme.

I recently got a few of these guys, does this look okay?

Hello, i received this from a friend who’s dad can’t take care if them anymore. It was in a dark space. I dont really know much more though. Does anyone have any tips for me? I have instructed everyone around the plant to not even think about watering it. Any other help would be very much appreciated

So excited my first cluster..... I cheated and bought them but it's my inspiration ready for more!!!

I’ve tried all I can with this loph, I recently watered it, along with the rest of my lophs and only this one started to wrinkle any advice would be appreciated, it’s also getting softer by the day . Already tried removing from light and heat for a few days but no luck, if not any better tomorrow I’ll take it out of pot and check roots, but don’t believe that’s the issue . Any advice would be good

I wanted to share some hard-grown progress with the experts here.

​These have been living in my Denver windowsill for the last 18 months. They spent the first 6 months acclimating while I dialed in the light (see evidence of loph sunburn), but they have really hit their stride since.

​Light: High-UV Colorado sun. SE facing window, filtered through curtain sheer. 7am to 1pm roughly for light.

​Substrate: scenic hills standard loph and ario mix. Top dressings optimized for visuality

​Climate: 25% average humidity

Photo 2 is the Ario before 18 months ago

​Curious what you guys think of the form and the wool development
