Caudiciforms

18 years ago

I want to start a collection of caudiciforms. I realise there are many different plant species in this group. Can anyone help re spare plants (swap or otherwise), or details of a good source.

There are many species in the group, but not many available in Australia. Don't really know of any sources in NSW. I;m sure there are private growers though. Do your research, as most caudicforms aren't cheap particular the good sized ones. However they are really great fascinating plants, slow growing but very rewarding.

Hello, Mark, I'd like a cutting if they're still available. Please email me at cacatnip@yahoo.com. I also have some cuttings of Senecio orbicularis if you are interested in trading. Thanks! Here is a pic of S. orbicularis. It will also form tuberous caudex from a cutting: -curiouscomputer

Pachypodium caudiciform NOID?

It depends on the species of the Genus Pachypodium and where you live as to availability of different species and cultivars. A garden center or specialty greenhouse will be where you can usually find them but of course "Big Box" stores are now beginning to carry the more common species as well.....

In regards to ez's question, I think they readily branch after the first few years of growth, especially when given a micronutrient fertilizer. I received this 5-year old one from someone in my local C&S club about 2 weeks ago with about 1/4 inch of growth. I watered it once with Superthrive and it is currently branching at 5 points along the stem. It might be hard to see in the picture, but the top four growth points shown, as well as one on the other side of the stem, are all forming lateral growth buds.

Rudolf doesn't have everything! His list needs major updating, I went up there a couple of weeks ago. His retiring soon so after that, I doubt there would be anyone in Australia that would be growing much of what was formerly on his list. Better get in quick.

Thank you one and all for your comments from which I gather none of you have spare plants to trade or otherwise.
Rudolf will be in Sydney this weekend and I will see what he brings. There is a cactus and succulent show next to the Top Ryde shopping centre on Saturday.
I am not a member of any of these clubs and grow the plants for my own interest.

hello crazy orchids ,

I am trying to liven up this forum, and I was wondering if you could post a new message detailing your success or otherwise in your persuit of caudici forms. Did you obtain anything from Rudy . If so how about a picture
