Trichocereus peruvianus ‘MG Red Spine’ x Trichocereus ‘Sapito#2’ 25 Seeds

Description

A hybrid cross of peruvianus MG RED SPINE and SAPITO#2. A seed cross from Australian breeder Rodni Kisar.

 

Currently researching origins of MG RED SPINE.

 

Trichocereus ‘Sapito#2’

SAPITO#2 was a seed grown cactus that Rodni Kisar received from a SAB forum member who had named it peruvianus Sapito. Rodni cloned the cactus, giving it the name Sapito#2 and removed the incorrect species of peruvianus. This clone displays long 10cm+ spines at the base, growing out to be almost spineless at the tip.

A hybrid is formed when crossing two genetically different species with each other. Most hybrids are manmade however some are natural.

With cross pollination the mother plant is the first name, and the father plant is the second. The mother is the plant whose flower was pollenated, and the fruit ripens on, and the father is the pollen donor. When the crossing plants, in most cases, the resulting offspring comes closer to the mother than to the father. However, there are a lot of exceptions to this and sometimes, the genes of the father are simply more dominant.

 

Botanical Synonym: Echinopsis

 

Germination Tips: To germinate Trichocereus J2 x Trichocereus peruvianus Sharxx Blue Hybrid Cactus Cross seeds it is best to use a container with drainage holes. Takeaway containers work well with holes punctured in them. Layer with high quality potting mix and top layer with zeolite – layers of 2 cm each is fine. Sow seeds on top of the moist zeolite, do not cover seeds.

Place this container into a sealed, larger clear container with water in its base. Prop up the seed container, so it isn’t sitting in the water. The humid environment you create with containers will keep the seeds moist from then on. Place lid on and do not remove. Do not water again until re-potting is needed. Removing the lid will destroy the humid environment you are trying to create.
