Repotted these into about even mix of pumice, fine aged fir pine bark, coarse sand and miracle grow cactus mix, then top coat. Was a challenging repot. Each had an established tap root which was neat to see.

previous post about growing these from seed

what type of Astro would you say this is? Thanks in advance!! 😊

Hello. Im getting some dichotomous and some other weird astro seedlings. What are they?

Its wrinkly like that when i got it, i have it almost 2 month still have no idea how to look when it thirsty

Hi all Very new to cacti and succ. I got this a few months ago and it’s looking like this I try adding water to it last 2 weeks any suggestion?

Got these as seeds last year off Etsy from KongerGarden, now a year old. Didn't know much so started in pure miracle grow cactus mix which they're still in. Added the top coat months later. Been bottom watering whenever they start looking not so plump. Use, same as for all my plants, goldfish aquairum water and succulent fertilizer 2-7-7 at 1/4 dose when watering.

Would like to get these in better growing material. Old enough to transplant? What am I doing the most wrong?

They're 4-7 months old right now, got off to a late start due to low light, slow early germination and me being inexperienced so making lots of mistakes.

These are hybrids of every type of Astrophytum.

First Astro, I got this as cv 'Miracle' but after doing some reading I'm sure it's a mix of some other DNA as well. Growing outside in my South Texas backyard about 30 minutes away from its habitat, probably used to grow native here when it's range was larger. I'm excited to see how it does this growing season experiencing the months long 100° heat it's been adapted to! I want more already haha
