@@LoveOfcacti yea I do have some stuff for fungal treatment but I'm just waiting for it to dry up before applying. Thanks I will look into mt-45 though.

@@LoveOfcacti those specific seedlings that were rotting are actually in shade constantly because of the fence between me and neighbours and the time of year. I don't water them at all unless we haven't had rain in a long time and they need it. Same with the smaller seedlings in containers. If the soil is completely dry and I know it's been dry for a while I'll give them a good soak. No real frequency. Weather is all over the place.

@@LoveOfcacti I don't water anything in pots that are outside during winter only thing I will water in winter are smaller seedlings in containers as they will usually keep growing and can dry out quicker than pots. Well these guys are tolerating less than 6c because I know it's getting down to that temp. Even some of my smaller seedlings in containers aren't protected they are getting 6c and they are all good.

@@JamesEndo1 I sell cuts and some whole plants but I'm really in it for the genetics. So this is just the beginning for me. I wanto keep a lot of the real good genetics to cross with so don't offer a lot of those cuts unless there's a couple pups on it. Also in Sydney Australia. I will eventually sell seeds but probably not for a few years. Appreciate the comment 😁

@@CurtsCactus Understood. Good luck with your eventual move to the farm that you mentioned!

@@nch4352 it was grown from seeds I got from Peru so no name really.

@@drakeweddner yea I will do it on bigger grafts but not bothered with these smaller ones they don't really reach the edge.

@@CurtsCactus i figured you knew what you were doing you have a million cacti , I just thought maybe you were brand new to grafting

@@drakeweddner well I mean I am new to grafting haha so I know I'm not doing the best way and probably should be cutting the corners but Im lazy 🦥 haha thanks.

@@CurtsCactus in my opinion the absolute easiest way to graft them is as a slab using rubber bands czcams.com/video/kWXCCzmrgZQ/video.htmlsi=OOgSWwgbM9IAobHl Your jar method was pretty cool though I'll have to try that out

HB04 x T.Cuzcoensis

Tig x sharxx blue

@@paulmaenza4041 I think a CSD x anything would be really cool haha

@@uraninite8151 i check all the time. Just give it a light pull and if it seems attached then you know it's rooted. But just gently pull them up to look and gently place back down. Worse case is you snap a root when placing it back down.

@@CurtsCactus I’ll give it a try

@@CurtsCactuswell I checked. No roots just mold? I’m quite surprised since I used a lot of perlite, have been barely watering (few drips) and I used fabric pots. I might move them outside but I’m worried about the cold and too much sun. Any advice?

@@uraninite8151 ah see this is another reason why I do check in case it's rotting or anything. Mold doesn't worry me too much as long as the base isn't going soft. And I would generally have the cut completely dry before placing it on your medium. And wouldn't start watering it even with a couple drops untill I think it's getting real close to roots. If your worried about the cold you must be in winter? If so don't even bother looking for roots haha takes a lot longer in winter than summer. As soon as spring comes around they will probably pop out then. Maybe let the callous dry again and then prop it up same position and you just gotta wait longer. I've had cuts root in 3 weeks ive also had cuts root in 6 months its just variable factors.

@@CurtsCactus thanks man. Yeah it is winter. They all seemed calloused but I’ll let them dry again just to be sure

@@willseafixitall I took that one to my farm haha but I've got others that are diseased if you want haha where you located?

@CurtsCactus SC ,USA are you in the states as well?? I'm interested in those your willing to get rid of Cacti are awesome very hardy only thing I've seen them not come back from is root rot if it get to deep

@@willseafixitall I'm in Sydney Australia so unfortunately can't send anything over

@@willseafixitall yes I have noticed that with some as well. gotta get this information out

@@Hoppy_for_life well I'm in Sydney Australia can't ship overseas though so can hit me up on insta Curtscactus or Facebook Curtis relf

@@uraninite8151 so if your cacti are grown in shade and immediately put into full sun they will burn. So they need to get use to full sun gradually increasing the amount of sun they get. Some days in summer it's just extremely hot and sunny and I cannot avoid the sunburn so it does happen but you just need them to get use to it. Also afternoon sun will burn more than morning sun so if you can get all morning sun and give them shade in the early afternoon that would be better. Even once they are use to a lot of sun if they are yellow it's too much sun and they won't get much blue. Too much shade and they will grow skinny. So you need inbetween I try to give them as much sun as possible before it becomes a negative. Also the blue is genetic so some will never get blue on them. Hope I've explained it as best as I can haha. Any more questions feel free to ask again.

@@CurtsCactus Thanks that’s a perfect explanation. Cheers

@@shampton68 I throw it on top each year as top dressing and water in with gogo juice or any fertiliser really just so it sets it into the soil and doesn't blow away. And over time it breaks down pretty much gives them a feed every time it rains after that. But I also put it in my soil mix. But you could definitely do the tea I just have never done it. Would be a great liquid fertiliser

@@huntintrailmetals9343 they will do eventually though mine have never flowered. It's like the CSD clone hadn't flowered for anyone in years and someone recently just got flowers. People were saying it couldn't flower.

Sounds like stress. They will be fine you just gotta let them recover. If the soil is completely dry give them water. If it's wet then they probably need to dry out

@CurtsCactus okay will do!

They look like normal after a few days of shade ​@CurtsCactus

Yea I don't use them personally because when they do dry out you will have to water more often, which is fine when it's just a small collection but when it starts to get too many your watering every day in summer for at least an hour so maybe if you are in a wet area then for sure give terracotta a go.

Hahahaha glad I wasted your time. You'll never get that back. It's all mine now. 😁👍😘

Well now you've said that and I did a quick research I've got no idea whether it could be one or the other And I have kind of given up on finding out exactly what it is due to the most likely remedy for all of these issues is focusing on soil health and positioning I also do not have the brainpower to work these things out haha but I wanto bring them to light so we can all work it out together but yea my conclusion is if you focus on soil health and positioning you shouldn't have to deal with these problems. Also the reason why I thought it was viral is because a lot of the time the community would use the word viral so that's just what was my first thought and thinking viral is what spreads and not looking too much into bacterial. The stuff I have shown (yellowing) that has definitely spread I never had it until one year and it popped up on quite a few of my cacti but it never really gets much worse than those yellowing marks. Genuinely appreciate your comment! We all need to communicate as much as possible in a constructive way 😁 also really appreciate you watching my vids and thanks for the nice words! 😁

No problem! Haha hopefully I can follow through with it all

Yea damn must be hard for you I understand the struggle of having an outbreak and it just feels like it's spreading everywhere. Focus on the minerals. Lots of drainage and good accessible nutrients. Appreciate the comment 👍

Im pretty sure I got it without any names. So no id. But I will check when I'm home and correct if it does have a name.

Send me a pic on insta if you can I'd be interested in seeing

@@CurtsCactus does facebook work? no insta here

@@1fps804 yea sure Curtis relf on fb

I was short on time and very excited couldn't have done it any better. Soz brah.
