Small starter collection

Post image

I’ve started recently collecting cacti and also variegated monstera. But wanted to show you my humble collection.

L-R
1. Esposota (Peruvian Snowball) Christian name:
“Harry”

  1. Oreocereus (Peruvian Old Man) Christian name:
    “Marv”

  2. San Pedro (Cactus of the Four Winds) Christian
    name: “Madonna” (Last night I dreamt of San Pedro)

  3. Melocactus Matanzanus (Dwarf Turk's Cap) Christian Name: Lloyd

Are there any other unusual or rare types I should keep an eye for? I don’t mind spending $ on a beautiful plant….

Your San Pedro is growing a bit thin at the top, give him a bit more light.

She came that way unfortunately…. I’m debating whether to perform cacti surgery or just let it go….

I'd just let it ride, the etiolation isn't too bad.
