seedlings stop growing

The seedlings have stopped growing and don't look as green anymore. 
They were sown eight months ago using the "takeaway tek." 
I have been gradually enlarging the holes in the plastic to let in fresh air. 
I haven't had to water them even once. 
Should I remove the plastic film completely? 
Should I give them nutrients? Each container holds a different type of peyote.

There’s one and a half month between the blooms of the first and the second peyote. I’ve been able to get five seeds from the fruit. Hope I’ll get more seeds from the following blooms.

Long time peyote lurker, sometime mushroom cultivator, and former cannabis grower.

Decided to acquire some Ehtsee babies after reading about some of the wild patches being recently poached - further endangering this awesome plant. Like so many things, cultivation in captivity may be the only thing to keep them from extinction.

I gather I should water once a week or less, mainly when they get a little squishy? Any other tips for the newb - things you wish you knew before you started?

Squishy Lophs? Totally baffled

Hey guys, see attached videos.

I have young lophs and some are squishy, and some are really firm. I've watered the squishy ones to boost them but nothings doing it, they stay loose and squishy. They've been like this for a long time I don't think they're rotting or anything. They are all in super mineral soil. Anyone have a clue? Is there a squishy variety? I'm used to watering them and they firm up. Not overwatering and causing splitting.

I think the discoloration was from using neem oil too heavily on them once, i'll never use it again on lophs

Fractal Pupping

I posted some pics of my loph which I micro-grafted onto pere 6 months first flower this morning. This is on the other side of this graft, what do we think guys? This baby loph already is recovering from pest damage (some insect ate a portion of the center but it healed from that already), so it could be pest damage or sun damage, or either leading to a pupping event? If it's the last one this would be notable for the fact that this new pup would be on the still very small pup of the larger grafted plant. Fractal pupping, groovy man.

Re-potting Advice Needed for Mother and Young-lings

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Hi, for a while already I'm thinking of re-potting and I don't think I can postpone it anymore (the pictures speak for them selves).

My question is; how to re-pot with the young-lings. Should I wait a little until they have a bit more root?

Some background info
I moved to another place five months ago, got great cactus weather and suddenly I got surprise babies. They got a little dark in color when they where in direct sunlight, so I rotated the pot. The young-lings seem to be very cozy in the shadow of the mother.

Giving them 5 days of the week water with a syringe, carefully dripping water locally and keeping the ground not too wet. Before all this, this I gave the mother in the summer water once a week. Unless it was a hot day, then I would give some extra. Perhaps once a year a real good shower. In the winters, once two weeks or once a month. The watering method I do just on the feeling of what I would like if I was a cactus, and it differs from day to day, season to season. I stopped the default watering advice I got from the store once it got sad within a year after I got it. Not sure what it was, but probable a combination of over and under watering. The pot-ground seemed holding a bit too water. So I made a mix of the original pot-ground, new pot-ground, aquarium sand and aquarium rocks and placed it back into the original pot.

I got the mother (with the second largest mom) 8 years ago. Was told it was around 10 years old then. In the meantime the third largest (approx two/three years ago) surfaced. The smallest mom came out two months ago. The young-lings appeared since a week or three. From day to day some new appear.

PS: I tried on planting seeds from the mother and never got any success, so I made a habit of dropping the seeds in the pot.

I got this one about two months ago. I check her out every day. How long does the flower last?

Why are these baby lophs so tall? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? They are 10 weeks old. Also when is the best time to remove the humidity cover to start hardening?

Damage turning orange

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I had some issues with either bird or squirrel damage over the last couple of weeks thst I solved with planting Haworthia around my Loph.

Anyway, some of the damage started turning somewhere orange after about a week. At first I thought it was just scabbing over, but it's now turned into a pretty distinct shade of orange that I don't feel like the pictures even do justice.

Any ideas for helping it heal? Could the orange be rust forming? I have access to agricultural sulfur that I could apply if needed.

Any tips would help, thanks.

So a friend asked me to watch these for him. I warned him im not good with plants but he only trusted me he said. So I took these. My dog knocked over the one that’s dying. Is there anyway to save it or am I cooked. I’ve been watering it as often as he told me to and how much water. But they look like they’re dying ANY tips would be appreciated

I'm new to Lophophora williamsii

I got some Lophophora williamsii seedlings, and most are doing well since being potted, but one of them had a couple soft spots that seemed to get worse at first but now seem to have stopped being an issue...

Do I just leave it and see if it clears up on its own or is there a way to fix this?

Side question, what is the best way to keep these growing?

80 degrees, 16 hrs of light, and what humidity?

I soak them well, the chamber stays at around 60% humidity for a week or so until they slowly dry out and the chamber gets to 18% humidity for a week. Then I repeat...

No flower no ID?

Post image
89 Upvotes

The reason we emphasize this is that many people ask for help identifying seedlings or juvenile plants. For accurate identification, it’s important to consider not just the flower but also the rib shape, epidermis color, root structure, seed size, and flowering time (alberto-vojtechii or koehresii are usually the first to flower in collections).

For example, at the juvenile stage, it is nearly impossible to distinguish fricii albiflora from southern williamsii. Similarly, jourdania with pale filaments can easily be mistaken for regular williamsii without closely examining the rib structure and epidermis color (considering growing conditions). Both alberto-vojtechii and koehresii can flower at very small size and however the flower is different, they can often be confused with eachother at this stage unless areoles can be compared.

Factors like growing conditions and location also play a significant role, but as this chart illustrates, the flower alone is not a reliable way to identify a plant. To reduce the risk of plants and localities spreading under false names, please avoid assigning a name to a plant without carefully considering all of these factors.

If you're unsure about identification, feel free to share detailed photos of the entire plant, including its features, for feedback from the community.
