Other plants and cultivars / Noobie looking for Tephrocactu...

Last post by Mujician - Thursday, 04 August 2016 - 15:52:09

Hi,
  This is my first post here, and I'm looking to learn. I'm also looking for a Tephrocactus Articulatus cv orange, or maybe super orange. There was one listed on eBay, but I haven't found any for sale since.

I would like to learn about cultivars, but I have no clue where to start. How did the first cultivar come about, and how are they developed? Is it possible for little old me to create something new? I'm mostly interested in Rebutia, Astrophytum, and Euphorbia. Thanks

I like your plant and especially those flowers on that crestate and normal plants grow from a single point, but this plant grows along many points.

Wow very awesome!!

It looks like you are not even intersecting the cores.  Is this not necessary with this species? All cacti?

I only have one ACM graft and it grew for a year, lost it's tubercles, then grew them back while growing a huge body.

I have purchased an Agave titanota 'Black and Blue' before few months, but it was different from yours, actually yours looks very beautiful and I hope you'll give some tips for this.

I have never seen so these many types of agave ever, so thanks a lot for sharing these variegated agaves here and I have only two of them in my garden which are Agave Kichio kan and Agave Kichio kan nishiki.

I believe that taking care of such plants might some troubleful and images show that you have saved them very well and I can learn from here for my backyard plants as well.
