this is 2x lophophora grafted onto trichocereus cacti, after seeing a blog posted on a similar subject i really got excited to add mine. Hoping this can create a few leads on similar posts, advice and more. These two trichocereus have not rooted and im pretty fine with that. To my knowledge this will help the peyote take and mature without any rapid growth what may cause splitting.
I added this into a pot with a Euphorbia lactea crested graft to add more of a landscape to the look.
So far so good these grafts have taken hence the repot and being exposed to a outdoor environment.
Watering to this point is very minimal although we in spring approaching summer. Although i do water the Euphorbia lactea crested more regularly due to it being well more established and more thirstier than the lophophora grafted on the trichocereus. Living in a coastal environment effects the humidity which always tends to be high so that's also reason adding to why i have decided to keep watering to a minimum
Substrate:
Living in the South region's of Africa, mimicking a substrate through research what will be replacements for some amendments what are not availabe wasily locally i added red Kalahari sand, Pumice, Akadama, Silica Sand with a tiny bit of added Gypsum. I wanted to add worm castings but decided against this as i have a different approach in mind to help feed with minimum nutrients and more mineral based.
Lighting:
I have them in a shaded area well lighted what gets a bit of late afternoon sun. Preventing to much sun on these two little newly taken grafts
Please Note:
Im a newbie to all of this with only being guided by google and advice. input is happily accepted.
