Here is my lil green house there are over thirty
five various species,10+ are trichos, and several
tricho hybrids. I especially like the species
bridgesii (langenformis) and have five or six
varietals of this species. Most of my plants are
small as I cut them and rerooted many cuttings this
year. I did save a couple Juul's giant without
cutting them in hopes of flowers and seed, hope ya
like

These are the tips I
bought from you November 2004. I cut the original tips about 4
inches above the soil level. The stumps have produced multiple baby
pups in 2 months. The original tips are rooted again now and have
grown 6 more inches. I plan on doing the same thing again in April.
It is incredible how easy they are to grow. Notice the two largest
plants on the left side of picture. I left them alone just to see
how tall they might get.
The four small "torch cactus" front left are the 2 inchers I got
from you 3 months ago.
Thanks Again From- Tejas San Pedro's

Hi Verne,
Hope you've been doing well. I'm attaching some photos showing
progress of one of your babies.
planted_pedro_01 shows the top of that long log I bought from you. I
cut it into three pieces, and this photo shows the top piece planted
as a "log" in a spot that receives mostly shade. This was budding
when you shipped it to me but the bud had roughly the diameter of a
nickel back then. It's a lot bigger now. ;) I don't think it's
rooted yet (been planted for about 3 weeks) but I haven't wanted to
disturb it to check.
potted_pedro_02 shows another piece of that same log, but it was
potted with perlite and garden soil (got great soil here at my new
house in California.) I've got some organic compost on order and
I'll dig out some soil and replace it with the o-comp when it
arrives. My cut is visible on top and you can see a new pup has
appeared.
potted_pedro_01 is actually not one of yours; this is also an ebay
aquisition. Just sharing it because it's done so well in such a
short time. I had originally intended to cut this one in half, but I
had it stored flat in a dark place, and when I checked it one day I
found it was already putting out roots on the opposite end of the
column from where the pups were. (I think it was tricked by the
piece of artificial turf I'd rested it upon.) So even though that
column was something like 16" long, I just potted the whole thing.
The middle piece from that log I bought from you is still not
planted, and it shows no pups or roots, but I will probably plant it
this weekend in a pot and see how it does.
So thanks for all your growing tips on your website. I just bought
one of your nice mature columns on eBay. I figured that this
gorgeous specimen would give me a nice head start for putting a T.
Pachanoi plant in one of the sunnier locations on my property...
since it's rooted I will just dig a nice big hole and get it into
the ground as soon as it arrives.
Talk to you later,
-Paul |

In the photo I am measuring with my fingers about 5
inches of new growth last three months
They sat dormant in the garage all winter.
Now you can see the color change at top indicating new growth |
