simply awesome man. guess I'd better start my seeds now hehe quite a few years to mature. thanks for sharing. peace, e :teeth:

[spacecake]

those are amazing! very nice! what do the temps get down to in your area, outside? do you heat your greenhouse?

killer plants man!

Well, the temperature here, ranges from -5 oC (winter) to 30 oC in the summer...
I move my cacti inside in Oktober/November ,when the temperature reaches 7 oC or so...
Stop giving them water till March.
I do not heat my greanhouse..I think that's just a waist of money,because they like the Winter rest...

That's an easy answer...
I bought them at a ''smartshop'' here in Holland...,but some private local growers here sell them aswell.

How do I grow them ?
I just give them alot of water when they need it... so do not give them a little water every day or so,..but lots of water every one or two weeks,in the Summer.
For example..this peyote get atleast a liter water,and my big Peruvians two liters or so each.

It's doing pretty good Tasty...!

Lot's of small Peyotes almost didn't make it thru the winter,because it was such a long one,and it was freezing in my garage,where I keep them in the wintertime.
So far ,i lost two Peyotes,but the big one in this tread is still alive...

I shall try to make a picture of it when I can...!

[koldj]

Damn, brotha. Definitely the best looking peyotes I've seen. I love those tufts and the flowers :D.
