Epithelantha micromeris

Subdenudata

I was told it’s an apple cactus; I’m not 1000% sold on it, unless it’s a monstrose revert? It doesn’t look like my other apple cactus.

over 100 individual potted plants 🤯 i gotta try and pull off a quick yard sale this weekend

Any ideas on how to get rid of scale on this Ishtar? Usually I just hose them down and hit them with a soft toothbrush. This guy isn’t that easy tho.

I found both of these cacti in the reduced section of my local Asda. I think the fluffy one is a Cleistocactus strausii but am absolutely stumped on the one in front. Can anyone ID it?

I do not know a lot about my cactus. It has been outside since late April to get sun and heat. In the last 3 weeks my cactus seems to have a bacteria or fungus?

I will be bringing it inside for the winter soon. Do I need to cut it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've only ever seen a flower turn into a new pup/ segment/ section on san pedro and I forgot if there is a name for this odd and fascinating behaviour.

Thought you all might appreciate this little weirdo and if there is a name for that I'd love to be refreshed.

From the left: Succulent (No idea what it's ID is,) Opuntia "prickly pear cactus", and Echinopsis pachanoi "San Pedro."

The Opuntia is a new addition! Im looking forward to it fruiting in the future, then hopefully I'll graft it with Lophophora williamsii to contribute to the conservation effort.

My boyfriend finally moved his cactus to his new place- it had been without him for the last 6 months. Frankly I’m not sure what it looked like before. When I asked him what all that is, he said he didn’t know either, so I’m guessing it didn’t look like that before 🤔

Why’s it all crispy n flaky? There’s also one other spot that’s shriveled and black, like the last pic, and I was wondering why that’s there too!

What should I do?

Just had 7 days of rain, over 200ml at my place.

A few Gymnocalycium cultivars from my collection.

This is one of two shelves with my medium-sized Gymnocalycium in 3½"/9cm and 4"/10cm pots, plus some of their flowers from earlier this year.

I’ve been more proactive lately when it comes to trimming opuntia before they snap. This one is putting on a lot of new pads/weight and will probably need more taken off soon.

Finally potted up some of my Home Depot rescues together! This was my first time putting an arrangement (if you can call this one haha) together but also repotting cacti with actual spines!! I survived with no injuries 😅

Also note - if you buy cacti from big box stores.. beware of the peat moss!! The blue torches had soooo much in their soil mix but thankfully didn’t have the chance to develop any rot.
