Re: Full sun vs Shade cloth

Thats true- but im speaking out of experience where , though placed at the same time, grown in the same conditions in winter, the stenocereus just went purple, while the cereus and neoraimonidia were defaced in an instant- i think its got something do with initial glausense- the latter were not heav...

Re: Full sun vs Shade cloth

Not all are susceptible - Some are more resistant than others
- Stenocereus (griseus turns purple, then stops, others have no change)
-Pilosocereus
- Ferocactus with proper acclimation
-Opuntias are almost immune
-Pachycereus is not affected
Could be others, but im sure for those at least

Re: Another UNknown opuntia

Spines are longer, and yellow and orange and red. Engelmanii var engelmanii is less spinier, shorter, and glochids are brown. Mine are yellow. Im just sorry the pictures are bad. Not the best lighting , doesnt show real colors.

Re: Must Cut, Rotting. 1st time, many questions

First off all, if you want highest chance of success , you have to cut it in as bigger pieces as possible. Second, if you are cutting it, make sure the center of it is healthy not like this one(rot) http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39973- it needs to look like this https://www.dmt...
