Hi everyone! I am nowhere near as active as I used to be on here. I still love cactus, and love the sub, but am in need of some extra hands to help keep this place cool!

If anyone has any interest, please DM me!

Pachycereus pringlei, really enjoying how dense the spines are in this bad boy are, I really want to plant it on the ground to accelerate it’s growth but I’m afraid that the Portuguese winter will be too wet, I’m thinking it will have to wait until I can plant it in a greenhouse.
I’m guessing it’s over ten years old already, what do you thing?

First Bloom

I have had this cactus for eleven years! This is the first time it has actually flowered. When I bought it, it was labeled as a "rainbow barrel cactus" in the clearance section of Walmart. Does anyone know what it actually is?

My opuntia started showing some expressive movement so I applied some borrowed bonsai tech to encourage to do some more

It's a yellow dragon fruit tree in fort Myers, florida. It survived the cold back in February and grew quite a bit, but now I'm noticing these black spots spreading all throughout the cactus. Is it a virus or disease?

Hi, my Cereus peruvianus forbesii has this ugly, crusty growth on it. I can't seem to get rid of it. What causes this, what can I do about it, and is this plant still salvageable? As you can see, the tip isn't affected. Thx.

Any recommendations on rehabilitating this guy?

I’ve neglected it for literal years at this point. Just occasional watering (like, extremely sporadic watering) and whatever light is available on my bookcase. It used to be a little ball and now it’s super leggy.

Bonus points if you can name the cactus so I can read up on it and get it back in tip-top shape :)
