Re: Trying to figure out if this is variegated or stressed
I can see variegation over new tubercles on your photo, which is called twilight variegation. The twilight variegation is not a true variegation, which is caused by a hybridization stress. I do not know the intension of original creator but: Retusus: white flower Agavoides: red flower He might want...

Re: Trying to figure out if this is variegated or stressed
The plant looks and feels healthy. I just unpotted it and everything feels like it should.

Re: Trying to figure out if this is variegated or stressed
I'm not sure. I bought it from a private collector in a batch.

Hello. I'm selling this Ariocarpus retusus x agavoides, and I'm unsure if it's variegated or stressed. Thanks for any help!

Re: Greenhouse options
<...> Polycarbonate greenhouse? Undoubtedly 👍 <...> Single wall or double ? Double is better in all means: shades sunlight a bit and provides insulation also. Remember about more shade in spring-summer and (!) effective ventilation (automatic lids, sun energy fans etc) Thanks! Good to know.

Re: Greenhouse options
Double wall insulates better. I was just reading about this last night. I want to build something in my own backyard. I do not own a greenhouse yet. I live near large numbers of commercial greenhouses and know one that owns one and one that was the Chief Grower at another. The owners greenhouse is ...

Greenhouse options
Hello. I wanted to ask for some advice on getting a greenhouse. I'm planning on buying one I can piece together for now until I build my own. I live in Northern California, zone 10b. Winter nights usually stay in the range of 35℉ and 28℉ for usually a night or two. Can be pretty rainy, but nothing t...

Re: What makes Stenocereus gummosus spiralis, spiral?
The spiral is common in nature. Many of our cacti spiral as the tubercles are arranged in Fibonacci spirals. In the case you mention this is done to an abnormal degree, therefore the plant is a monstrous form. In the wild if it limits its reproduction the plant would tend to die out, but often in c...

What makes Stenocereus gummosus spiralis, spiral?
Hello. I hope this is the right place for this, but I've been trying to pin down a Stenocereus gummosus spiralis and I have no idea how it gets that way. Is it a type of "monstrose"? Is it genetic? If so, how common is it? If I grew 100 from seed, how much potential is there that one would...

Hello. Need some help IDing these two cacti
I was thinking the larger one was some type of Browningi. I was thinking the smaller one could be some type of Haageocereus but I have no idea.

Re: Wooden container for cacti
I like Dave's idea with the plastic trough's much better than the Hypertufa. You just lay the gutters up lengthwise as your plant grows. But if you like the looks of Hypertufa ( and you can get creative with the outside design by inserting chips of rock etc.) You could always use the trough as a fo...
