question about peyote

[adetheproducer]

Nice collection you have there. I have had more succes with seeds lately I now have turbinicarpus lophophoroides, pseudopectinatus and Epithelantha micromeris going strong. Got some ariocarpus mixed species just sprouting. Discocactus mixed and Blossfeldia liliputania about a month in. Also my collection has substantially increased I don't come on here much any more for learning. I find I know more and have more experience with cacti than most other people on here and I am a complete novice. Check my posts on cactiguide.com/forum I go by the same username.

Today i made my soil mix.
6 parts regular cactus soil
1,5 parts perlite
1 part grit sand
0,5 part gravel

Sand and gravel found and washed , the sand especially!I couldn't found limestones so i end up with gravel.I mix the soil and now is in oven on 200 c for 2 hours.

What do you mean by ´regular´ cactus soil?? That rubbish sold by MiracleGro that is 90% peat??

And most garden centres sell dolomite lime - did you actually go to one?
Otherwise you can use any calcium carbonate - crushed sea shells or crushed eggshells are all calcium carbonate.

searching in the italian section:

wets only the ground and not the plant
makes holes and increase it, until remove the bag within three/four days
if they tend to brown, put them in a less bright place (up to six months the plants are very frail. not transplant ever them)


after that, search in this thread my friend!!

What do i do?

.

The first pic shows a kind of sunken in place, is this spot soft? Are the roots wet? Oh I see the post was from September, 2015. Dare I ask? Is the Peyote dead?

soooooo, we have been traveling for 6 months and when we got home he was obviously sick i have been trying to get all the knowledge of what the next step to do to save our baby is but in the past 3 days it has gotten so bad i need some emergency help please!!! it was incredibly healthy and was beautiful when we left. we dont know what the 'babysitter' did while we were gone but i am so worried we gonna lose him this is him today[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Frank psychotic episode or lucid dreams? I can't sleep on any of those two drugs. Scopolamine maybe but that dream isn't dream.

hi there, i think you may be able to help in in this time of emergency. we have just returned home after 6 months traveling to find this is what happens when u leave the peyote with someone i am freaking out and am so scared of it dying. can u please help. in the past 3 days it has only worsen to the point i want to cry. i thought i would have time to do loads of research first before taking any next steps. i dont know anything about peyote nurturing as this is my boyfriends plant and we never had any problems with him. before we left he was magically healthy and looking amazing. i am power reading all i can for now as i cant get any soil until tomorrow
i also feel there are blister like features

Hey! I have 60+ year old Peyote wiliamsii and im thinking of eating it. I've search a lot online for information on older cacti but havent found any info. I've learned that the mesc dose increases with the age.

My question is, does anyone have experience eating a really old cacti like 50-60+ ?

Peace!

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and in need of advise. I have a young Loph for a few months and been wondering whether it's ready for use. Pic below:

It's not a lophophora.

And it doesn't look very healthy, poor thing.

 

[shells]

that's sad news. any idea what it is? i treated it like a lophophora because that's what the cacti store said it was....

 

[adetheproducer]

Looks more like a gymnocalycium or maybe a matucana. It has had too much sun and water by the looks of it. Change the soil to a much more rocky and gritty mix which little to no organics and leave it dry for a while before watering again. Only water when it's gobe totally dry and it will need a dry rest period for a few months through winter.
