#monstrose

I think this #LongformTBM - #Trichocereus #Bridgesii #Monstrose is the #strangest #alien-like #cactus that I’ve grown. As you can see it only as one areole at the base where new growth can start!? Yes, it is a mutant! (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/COYTTvJBIfp/?igshid=ex58w3vfk8s0

I'm really pushing this mutant to make it flower. Will repot it this spring and then it's getting lots of love throughout the summer. It's years away from flowering, but I'm trying to lay the foundations early. 😁 🌵 #cactus #crest #cristata #monstrose #echinopsis #gardening #garden #cacti #flower #plant #succulents #trichocereus #vlog #blog #gardentv #cactusjerk #lobivia #plants #seeds #cactusseeds https://www.instagram.com/p/B9i8Zk4I-m4/?igshid=1wedf9jkm04y2

Monstrose form of this Kalanchoe don't produce pups, but some parts on the mother reverted to the regular form and produced nubs. That was how I managed to get pups from her. So glad the pups remain monstrose! This is the first and hence biggest pup I've gotten from the mum. I only have 2 other pups, and those are small; they grew to about 5mm so far.

<b>Fasciation:</b> a mutation in plants that causes abnormal growth. in rosette succulents like this one, the typical growth from a single, central point is instead flattened or perpendicular
