Does anyone know where I could get Cereus forbesii v spiralis clones, or seeds, or something? I've seen similar plants named C.hildemanianus spiralis - etc. But i suspect that they are the same thing even though these two (at least) are not synonyms.
Cheers

good luck wiv that matey!
its fully sick...

oh my god!

wow

Wow indeed
I recall that Vlado had Cereus "somethingorotherensis" "twisted" on his seed list, might be worth a look

this is a realy cool plant i have looked at quite a few pictures and read a lot about this one. unfortunately i have no idea about aquiring one

Sorry I cant help out here either. If someone finds one let me know

Now who's been a good boy/girl this year?

Its good to some cactuses getting into the spirit of things and enjoying themselves a little at Xmas.

Anyway thanks for the replies. From what little Ive read it is a bit hard to come by, at least in clone form. I'll check Vlado (once I've figured out how to access his price list... I'm sure I used to have one). I also saw a site in Holland that said they sold seeds.

It sort of seems that there was only one original spiral plant. So I suppose the seeds could produce a variety of pheno's, because the original spiral clone would have to crossed with a non spiral plant. I saw some pictures of small plants which twisted one way then the other etc , but it didn't say whether they were cuttings or from seed.

wel, in my cnoweledge exist two littlediferent clone of this cereus, one with longer spines and one with shorter a friend have all the two and produce seeds and little plants(wel now are big plants but..)plants start twisting at the end of first year/beginning of the second, if you are interested now in some seeds and you can recive it in australia i can ask for some...
hope to be util,
