Peyote cacti

TheDoctor Keine Nährstoffe, Samen sind nach 5 Tagen aufgelaufen.

TheDoctor Die bräunlichen Verfärbungen bei einigen ziehen sich zurück, kam anscheinend von zu viel/starkem licht

TheDoctor The spikes are developing right now and should disappear in a few months!

TheDoctor It’s really fun to grow cacti from seed! These ones a lophophora wiliamsii, but I have all the other types as well. Like Alberto vojtechii, jourdaniana, diffusa, fricii

TheDoctor I put a layer of plastic on the box, so the humidity stays high~

TheDoctor In the Next weeks I’ll graft some of my baby lophophora onto Trichocereus bridgesii and pereskiopsis. I sprayed the box to keep the baby’s moisture!

TheDoctor Quite interested in how they gonna look next week, because by then they’ll turn 2 months

TheDoctor Getting a bit much sun now, so some are starting to get red. But that’s not bad, I’ll keep them in more shadow now.

TheDoctor Welcome to the ninth week for my peyote (lophophora wiliamsii) cacti’s! They’re doing pretty well and I think the last month they didn’t received as much sunlight as they could’ve absorb, that’s why they are not that big yet, now I put them in indirect/direct sunlight. The place they now have is a lot brighter🌵👍

TheDoctor Soo, im sorry for the interruption and that I deleted some weeks, but keeping up with this diary is hard work actually😅 I chose a different batch of seedlings to document from now on, because they grow nicer, faster and better in overall. I hope you enjoy these ones from now on!

TheDoctor I had taken my peyotes into my tent to give them perfect conditions before winter dormacy, they burnt slightly, but nothing to worry about. They grow really fast!

TheDoctor Cute little boys in their small community, so Magical to see something growing which will outlast You.

TheDoctor So this is basically winter dormacy now, that’s why I didn’t update her for three weeks. But they seem pretty healthy:)

TheDoctor They’re doing good. But you need to keep in mind that I’m growing them in kind of a ,,rough“ way, so they don’t receive artificial lights or so, that’s why they’ll be smaller than other seedlings at this age. But I’m quite happy with that because they’re so damn cute haha

TheDoctor Some small rust infections on my peyote babies, but nothing to worry about. I’ll open the lid of they’re box now so the humidity lowers a bit and the fresh air will fight the fungus.

TheDoctor They woke up from their sleep, now they start to gain some mass! Really nice to look at, especially one which might be cristata-mutated!

TheDoctor They’re doing really good and finally they’re showing real growth! Literally every week they grow a bit more, so in the next month they should grow a lot:)

TheDoctor Currently they develop into beautiful and unique plants. Everyone has a different pattern and that’s so amazing and I’m really in love with those small cacti!

TheDoctor They’re doing really good so far. Nice patterns on each peyote show the great diversity of the plants!

TheDoctor Growing really good, I put them under LED again, as the days are getting shorter. Super cute😍

TheDoctor They now receive artificial light in order to the shorter light-hours, looking good 👍

TheDoctor Nothing new to report here. They’re growing slowly but consistently✌️👍

TheDoctor Welcome back to my peyote diary after the winter dormacy. They’re doing good and I transplanted them and they start taking off in their new pot! Really nice to see them thrive and grow. See you next week!
