Right now I got a mid sized san pedro plant, no biggie. Always keep some aloe in the jardin for sunburns. I have some lophora williamasi seeds coming in the mail, if anyone has any tips on how to germ em I'd appreciate it. The site I got it from also sells mature buttons w/root intact but I'm not sure I want to be recieving peyote in the US.

Who else loves cacti?

....wait for it....wait for it.... :wink:

"Like most cacti, Peyote is fairly simple to propagate from seed, although it may take anything from three days to a year for seeds to germinate. Also, even though cultivated Peyote can grow much faster than plants growing in the wild, it may still take more than five years to reach adult size. Thus, Peyote is an entheogen for those willing to wait for their rewards."

I somehow managed to kill my aloe. Have a nice San Pedro going and some succulents including elephant bush and rainbow bush. I like cactus and succulents as houseplants b/c they are so easy to care for ( except for the Aloe which I think was under-watered and planted in too sandy potting soil)

I've said it before, but that San Pedro is the most bitter thing you will ever taste!

I just picked up a few. My girl friend has a bunch. They are sweet. I'll get some pics soon.

I have grown san pedro cactus plants for years and really like them.Sit them in full sun and feed them full strength miracle grow.You can almost literally watch them grow.I have been wanting a peruvian torch cactus.Vancouver seed co. has them but I dont believe that they will ship them to the u.s. Does anybody know if they will?

I keep some aloe vera as house and bathroom plants

Growing cactus from seed can be tricky, don't keep the medium wet, it needs to be kinds dry but not bone dry, judging it is the tricky bit, they will rot and die easy when young.
Coco is an awesome medium for cactii, I have half a dozen cactii, all in coco, sadly someone stole my San Pedro a couple of years ago and I've never got round to growing any more. I have half a dozen succulents too but those are in compost.

Man, that is so twisted, someone stealing your San Pedro. I feel for you...

Hey Ocean,I ordered some to the US.,and got them, no problems.

^^^Looking good Shack. Not 100% sure but could be Cereus sp. maybe??

I'd encourage anybody to try some cacti from seed if you a bit of patience. I germed this little button maybe about 6 or 7 years ago, had a tough life of short summers and cold winters so could be bigger...

Got some 4 rib San Pedro clones and some other Trichocereus sp. seedlings too...sometimes wish I lived in a really warm climate.
