Dragon fruit?

I have some trichocereus bridgesii seeds. Any tips on getting them germinated? I just have them in peat in a humidity dome with a warming mat.

Get them in some cactus mix after they sprout.. what you are doing is fine for starting them.. give the seeds some air for a minute or so and mist with water .. i did this daily with mine.. i only misted them if i saw the soil drying at all.. mind you keeping the surfice of the soil moist, not soaked..

Not really a cactus...bought thought I would share my aloeCam....a little side project i been playing around with. Just a livestream of my aloe plant, with a added bonus feature..lol https://altaran.us/AloeCam Let me know what yall think.

This is Carl. About 3 years old now.
He's a real prick sometimes...

Here's some old San Pedro's, they are about 35 years old and about 12-15 feet tall.

And some others, the upper ones are also 36 years old, the ones in the foreground were broken pieces that I planted a couple years ago:

I haven't a clue what this is, but I've been growing it for over 25 years:

Some Hens and Chicks and a Dragon fruit:

Some misc stuff, with a Lithops in flower:

Lastly, I don't know what it is, if anyone knows let me know. I call it dragon scale:

pencil cactus and a version of a night blooming cereus. both are cuttings from neighbors. have 3 or 4 more of the cereus recently put in containers.

Golden barrel from a dish garden mid 90's at latest. never got over 10" until it went in the ground 3 or 4 years ago.

another pencil cactus variety
and a 20+ yr old aloe vera
also have an agave thats flowering...giant spike prob. 6' by now.

These are 8 years old.. the cuttings in the small pots and cups all are the same age..
[San pedro cactus]

heres the agave...must be close to 10' spike.
century plant is common name.
there'll be hundreds and hundreds of tiny clones on the branches.

I've been away for away, my cactus have weird shabby skin around the tops.. is this from lack of water? They weren't watered for almost a year..

Please disregard the mess on the bench in the back.
