I have three torches at roughly 2 1/2 years old, but so long as cactus plaza didnt give me bunk seeds again then I have about 50 baby torches started in august. I hope to start another crop of 50-100 sometime this month, that oughtta help boost my cactus forest dream

oops I actually meant to say I have 12 torches total, three 2 1/2 year old , and ten 1 1/2 year olds. all the small guys in the pics are torches except for that one slightly bigger yellowish guy

yeah magic,that one is peruvianus!

All the seeds i got at cactus plaza had horrible germination rates even with GA3. Now Koehres_kakteen.de is the place to go imo. The person who runs it is the person lophophora koehresii is named after i believe.

Here is a picture of my only pervianus plants. They're too small to ID yet. These are the first cacti seeds I planted. Still pretty small, but they're about a half year old now. I love watching cacti grow from seed. Even though it takes a long time, it helps the years pass by. It brings me so much joy even though i run into a lot of issues. These first few years are full of lots of trial and error.

There is a trichocereus taquimbalensis in the very front, a bridgesii on the left hand side, and then some myrtillocactus geometrizans on the right side (the blue frosted ones)

They are looking promising hostilis.. good job well done
