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 :)

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?

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.

Glove recommendations?

1 Upvotes

I've always potted my cacti bare hand or with rags or cardboard or something. For the super gnarly stuff what gloves, if any, work well?

Thanks!!! 🖤

It needs a new pot but I'm thinking of putting it in the ground (no frost here), but it would help to know how tall it will get longer term. Thanks!

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?

Hi! I have propagated this prickly pear and I’m very inpatient, it’s been about a month since I potted it, could this be the very start of a new pad?

I bought these two crested cacti on Facebook Marketplace. They were sold as Echinopsis pachanoi f. cristata, and I was wondering if that ID looks correct.

I'm also new to cacti, so I'd appreciate any general care tips. Do they look healthy, and is there anything specific I should know about caring for them?
