Most people I've asked agree with you loph. It's probably koehresii. I had originally thought before it bloomed that it could of been Fricii due to the rib structure looked nothing like a Williamsii but now it's bloomed it sure does look like Koehresii. Especially since only one pup had formed. From...

Thanks. I was thinking more towards Diffusa because of the flower color. It does have some pink in it thoe. I would also think that since it only has one pup that wouldn't be normal for Caesipitosa. I have a few Caesipitosa grafts and they have pupped like crazy. I have some of the Clumping kind and...

I posted a pic earlier of a Loph I bought as a Flowering LoWill Caesipitosa. It only has one small head growing from a large big head grafted to a Pereskiopsis Sp. Now that it's started to bloom it's bloomed 2 flowers side by side and they are a pinkish white with more white being evident. I'm posti...

Thanks, I was just wondering because I know they had Fricii. I thought maybe it got switched by accident. Which would of been no problem. The Fricii was actually listed as costing more than the Caesipitosa. After I get a few more Williamsii specimens I'd like to move to Diffusa and other Loph variat...

Yeh I figured Pereskiopsis. I'm just not sure what type of Peresk they are. They both seem to be another type of Peresk other than Sp. I thought maybe the 2nd one might be pereskiopsis velutina. It's the one that has black thorns. I kind of like this type better than Pereskiopsis Sp. At least I won'...

I have a bunch of new cuttings that were bought as Pereskiopsis Sp. but look like something else. I only need them for grafting seedlings so I'm guessing by the looks of them they should be fine. I'm just curious what they might be. Hase anyone experience with them. One set as black thorns on them. ...

Just curious. What was his excuse? Did he refund you or give you a real specimen?

I checked the cactus again and they were all over it. It seems like they are eating the cactus inside out. There are some bumps on it. I had to cut my bridgesii. I'm hoping I can save them. They seem to lay their eggs on the soil and then crawl up the sides of my cactus. They are little spider looki...

I'll try and get a picture up. I've tried to kill them when I see them but the problem is I don't no where they are coming from. They seem to be most prevalent on the edges of the cactus containers. They are a little larger than spider mights and they are a bright green color. It's an unusually brig...

I have these little green spider looking bugs on the sides of my cactus pots and I found a few crawling up my cactus at times. The eggs look like specks of white stuff. Does anyone know what they are? How I could kill them? I've recently had a spider might problem I've been using soap to fix it's wo...

I just cut the other head from the Peresk. I grafted another Loph Williamsii to it. I watered it before cutting the rootstock. This time I could tell for sure it was nice and juicy. Maybe a little to juicy. They both are looking as if they are doing fine. I would think if after the 3rd or 4th day if...

I think the graft is taking ok. It's starting to turn a little red. Not much but a bit. I'm thinking of moving it to a window sill or outside somewhere in the shade. My HPS is horrible with my young cactus seedlings. It turn them red to quick no matter how far I move them from the light.

Yeh, I read your thing on using sap from the leaf. Unfortunatly it to late. It's been about a 1 1/2 days and I just checked it when I took of the top plastic bag to spray it and it looks fine. I did the graft really quick. It might of been a little dry because it's been kind of cold out here the las...

I've been going through the grafting post here. Is it true if the graft doesn't take the seedling will shrivel up and die within the first day or so? If thats the case it's looking good so far.

Check out e-bay. That's were I get mine. You can usually find them for about 2 bucks each. I just got 10 unrooted cuttings for 10 dollars. That included shipping
