Re: Hollow myrtillo
Wow..
I've never seen that before, it even looks clean, not rotten.

Perhaps it was crossed with a pepper.

Re: Hollow myrtillo
Maybe not directly relevant but I do have another Myrtillocactus query.
So, 15 months ago I inherited some plants from former Glasgow Branch member Margaret Thomson, already mentioned here in the Miquelopuntia repotting thread.
Virtually all of Margaret's plants have thrived for me and her Kedrostis won a 1st at the Glasgow Branch Show.
One of only two notably failures was a Myrtillocactus which rotted over winter. This was kept bone dry and its temp. never fell below c. 7 degrees all winter. So guys, should I have given this higher winter temp. or what?
As with the Miquelopuntia, I've never grown a plant of this genus before.

Re: Hollow myrtillo
What was the top, upper section like.
I had similar to this when I was trying to use euphorbia abdelkuri for grafting, it just had lots of vacuoles but this looks unhappy, could it be as a result of cold growing during the winter so its alive but not happy.
Always found myrtillo good for grafting just a shame its temp sensitive

Looking like a rescue opportunity is nigh
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
