grow before eat the cactus will reward The most profoundly accurate statement in this entire thread. It has been revealed to me time and time again, that you will get out of a cactus what you put into it. The guilt. I have felt immense guilt from "wounding" my friends. This is until I was made awar...

Whoa! lots of new faces... Been a while since I've been on. Anyway, my cat agrees with the dewman on this one, but prefers a cold prep. The rascally kitty does a couple of freeze/thaw cycles, then cubes and blends the material in it's entirety with an equal volume of water. The resultant muck is the...

With th exception of the two Peruvianus' (left and right ends), they're all Pachanoi. The thicker Peruvianus is a newly rooted cutting, and the one with the crazy pups (several ribs have 2 - 3 right on top of each other, and one rib has 4!) was grown from seed, and has finally accumulated enough mas...

Thought I'd share some pics with you guys. I was caught off guard by a late freeze this year, you can see the evidence of frostbite, but they're growing like mad now!

I'll be right there with you. Regardless of faith, the planet (and the human race!) needs all the loving intent we can muster.

Hi Konstrikted, First, SWIM tells me that there's no need to de-spine Pachanoi, or even remove the waxy skin. 4 hours in the freezer is probably unnecessary. SWIM says he doesn't even bother throwing away the core (in fact, he believes using the entire plant is important to the overall experience). ...

I will get some pics up when I get home, but I've had great success with pachanoi in an ebb & flow setup.

I've been told that in lower dosages the stimulant effects of such cacti can be very condusive to long duration, high endurance activities. I asked SOTC ( Some odd tabby cat ) and he felt that it would be very helpful if one was a resident round about sealevel and decided on a hike up at a higher a...
