r/Trichocereus

I'm about to go crazy because I chopped this Sun Goddess on Feb 8 due to root rot (and actually posted on this sub for advice about what was going on and pictured in pic #2) and it rooted a little less than 1 month later but has not grown at allllll since. Before the root rot, there were a ton of pups that I removed (pictured in pic #3) so I am assuming that growth was focused towards the pups rather than the main body.

However after all this time still nothing. I want to use it as rootstock but I don't wanna graft anything to it until I see growth coming out the tip. It was shipped from CA to FL in January so I wouldn't think it would've went dormant but who knows. Any advice or feedback is appreciated.

Got this beauty off an auction, but I can’t pin down its exact government name. Any help is appreciated!

I took a cutting from this TBM-long form and grafted it to a grandi. Well, both the graft and the parent plant decided to pup and I noticed they looked distinctly different.

Spent some time feeding a few cacs today, using a new flower mix with NPK 9-50-20, mixing that with an 18-0-0 nitrogen fert. Hell yeah.

New Tek $8 bag lava rocks from HD and some local wild caught bricks🤘🏽👍🏽💙🌵HAPPY BICYCLE DAY!

This plant loves to show off

Potted up new babies, Happy Bicycle Day y'all, much love💙🫠🤘🏽

I really hope this guy flowers. Anybody have pollen and looking to cross w something like this?

I just started with cacti & cacti seeds January of this year, feels pretty awesome getting the first of the seedlings outdoors to feel the sun 💚

Learned a lot, these guys were some of the first that I started and took some abuse while I got settled and in a good rhythm! They are a little small so we are starting off easy & keeping their time to a few hours and under shade cloth. Rain & cooler temps have kept them indoors for a couple days, but hoping that some outside time & some good fertilizer will get them caught up to size pretty quick!

We eventually learned they won't melt quite that easy as seedlings, they enjoy some water & nutrition early on 🤣. Everyone's been removed from their awful beginning substrates and moved into more nutritious soil to finish growing out.

Inherited this a couple years ago, at one point someone said it was a Carnegiea Gigantea.

Wasn't taken for good care of before I got it. It's known age is 40 years at the very minimum because my grandparents inherited it after my Great Great Grandmother died in 88'. Who knows how long she had it before that.

Top only looks like that because I drilled the core down a bit in 2024 to get it to push pups. Which it did. The pup rotted from being over watered while I was away for a month and had someone taking care of my plants. The pup was very globular and never started growing up while it was alive, and was about 4-5" in diameter.

Thanks for any insight! 🤔

these are such nice bloomers.
