How to recognise a validus

this is a taquimbalensis

The two "validus" came from Sacred Succulents labeled as validus.  I'll add on there that they are SS validus.  I don't want to change them to taquimbalensis though because that will just confuse things.  I could even say that validus isn't a valid species and just mark any validus in the future as terscheckii.  But again, it would just confuse things.  These are the plants that sacred succulents sells as validus, so, I think it would be most beneficial to label them what SS labelled them.

Not all of the ID's in this gallery are 100%  It would be a pretty hard job to do if I had to 100% ID everything in here.  Especially given the confusing nature of trichocereus (and other cacti) taxonomy.

And by the way everyone, I'm working on updating the gallery now. Been slacking off for a while.

Thanks,

fair enough , ill try to hunt down some of them , i saw someone in uk has seedlings
and i just learned how cool SS are the other day 

[New Wisdom]

I have one seedling from SS (grafted) labelled as T. validus seed.  Going to be grating it to a huge PC pachanoi to speed up the growth. Very stoked to see what it turns into. It doesn't look like any of my taquimbalensis or terscheckii seedlings I have, but it definitely has a big trich look by the number of ribs it has. Still very juvenile spinage so It's not a good ID reference so I wont be adding it to the gallery just yet, but I will share some photos.

Hi forum members,

I'm looking forward to telling you about the progress of my plants which I almost all have been growing from seed 
My favourite plants are the beautiful acacias 
The climate here where I currently live (South of Germany) has average warmest days in July with 18 deg. C (wikipedia) (usually gets quite hot, though (30-35 deg. C.) and average coldest times in January with -0.7 deg. C (wikipedia) (can easily get down to minus 10 deg. C., though).

Attached some of the plants I have grown/ am growing (enjoy):

1) A. acuminata (broad phyllodes)
2) A. obtusifolia stem/branch (approx. 2.5-3 year old plant)
3) A. obtusifolia (approx. 2.5-3 year old plant)
4) Mitragyna speciosa (RIFAT strain) (bought as small plant)
5) A. obtusifolia (lower stem) (approx. 2.5-3 year old plant)
6) A. obtusifolia (branch/stem) (approx. 2.5-3 year old plant)
7) A. simplicifolia (simplex)
A. leiocalyx (phyllode)
9) A. leiocalyx (large phyllode) and small A. floribunda
10) A. maidenii

Best wishes,

Added to gallery.

Hi,
I couldn't wait sharing pics of my young a. phlebophylla plant, that I started from seed. I am so happy that I had some luck being able to raise such a rare beauty )). Thanks to the guy from australia who sent me some viable seeds ;-) What a gift ).

cheers,

Added (some) to gallery. Removed the duplicates.

Wow MadPlanter! You're plants are looking great:)

My Ibogas were growing fast indoors this winder but are still just finding their stride out in the greenhouse.  How much sun are you letting yours get? I read that they like it a shady, but wondering if I'm giving them too much shade.. They're nestled between my salvia plants under 50% shade cloth.

[MadPlanter]

They are under a tree that's pretty shady. Rays shoot in a bit in the early morning and dappled through leaves and branches during the day. They really like it under that tree! They really didn't like my greenhouse though. Its super bright in there all over.

Next summer I hope to have everything nice and large and capable of seeding. From there I hope to be seeding others with these grand plants. We shall see if I can pull it off...

[Saros]

Nice:) I have some Psychotrias under a weeping cherry tree and they're loving it. I just parked them there because I had no more room under the shade cloth. I hadn't thought to put any of my other plants under there. I think I'll try sticking one or two of the Ibogas under there as well and see how they respond.

Seeing your success with these beauties so far is inspiring. Good luck!
