Re: Mammillaria theresae
That's some plant Diane, and on its own roots too. You may well be right regarding clones, I have a thirty year old plant with only three heads lol. Love to see that plant in flower, next year perhaps ? Cheers

Re: Mammillaria theresae
Diane you tease, how can you possibly not show a picture of that plant in full flowerDiane wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 6:07 pm This is my big ol' Mammillaria theresae. It must be over 30 years old now, and almost certainly originally a seedling from Pete 'n' Ken many years ago. Not grafted, and in a 7" pan, with 17 heads. I have crossed it with other plants and have had lots of seedlings from the seeds produced, but none of them have ever offset. (It looks a real picture when in flower from all heads).
I do think that some clones branch readily, but others remain resolutely single-headed.

Re: Mammillaria theresae
Does no one give a tweak to encourage multiple heads on their plants ?, I often experiment, why have a plant that isn't a more desirable shape, my baby Theresa has quite a few little heads as it met my tweezers when smaller. I suppose it helps it isn't a favourite and i had a research back ground so we were encouraged to try different techniques in laboratory proceedures.

Re: Mammillaria theresae
Thanks, Tony! You're third link is the one I referred to above (2015). I tried to post it from my iPad but the file wouldn't load, 1.3 MB, so later on, I'll resize it and post again.

Re: Mammillaria theresae
Absolutely beautiful Diane! My own plant is on it's own roots but badly in need of a re-pot so maybe the next few years will see it expand a bit further
