Mutant cacti - monstrosities and crested plants - are some of the most desirable plants in any cactus aficionado's collection. In this tutorial, I explain how you can easily obtain a whole set of weird and wonderful cactus mutants, by recognising which hybrids have a tendency to produce the most bizarre offspring and then the process needed to grow them from seed.

Ah. Very cool. Was watching this out of curiosity about mutant cacti, but you also illuminated what I did wrong with sowing my dragonfruit cactus seeds. Thanks for the excellent video!

Glad I could shed some light on cacti from seeds in general! Happy growing.

I just got Euphorbia Lactea Cristata. I'm a bonsai guy but when I saw the Cristata, I had to get it. It looked weird af that I had to get it. Now I'm into Cacti and Succulents

You’ve been sucked into the rabbit hole now… there’s no escape! 😂 thanks for watching.

I love to grow Freds (m. bocasana monstrose). They rarely produce flowers and I have never gotten a seed pod, so I grow from cuttings. They sometimes spontaneously self destruct. Those are cute little seedlings you have started.

@AridZine Месяц назад

Fred was my introduction to monstrose cacti - I absolutely love them. Youre right - they need to be reproduced by cutting since their flowers are sterile.

Oh boy more learning…I looked up Mammiliaria bocasana monstrose and found out you did not just name your cacti, I had never heard about the “Fred’s”! As Joey Santore says, let’s go down the rabbit hole about them…maybe a video about them? Thanks hairlesscactus! ( another video?!) 😁

I have an idea of pacing a drop of water that has auxin and cytokinin, on the Myrtillocactus geometrizans growing tip 2-3 times a day. In theory it should be able to absorb those hormones trough skin.

@AridZine 22 дня назад

I’d be interested to know the results - and if any resulting monstrosity is stable.

Those are some nice seedlings!

Yes I did learn something new, thank you! can you propagate a monstrose cacti from a cutting or offset? 🌵

@AridZine Месяц назад

Thanks! Yes you can take a cutting and they’ll usually maintain their monstrose form.

Thanks! If you’ve got any questions, hit me up - always happy to help.

tpm is actually a pachanoi you may be confusing it with cereus peruvianus monstrose

@AridZine 25 дней назад

Hi mate, appreciate the feedback but have a read of this: trichocereus.net/nitrogen-tpm-trichocereus-peruvianus-monstrose/ Lays out the history of the strain pretty well and points out it’s incorrectly referred to as a pachanoi
