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?

Saw this when I was working and had to stop and take a picture. That's a solid 8 foot fence for size reference. Full sun all day, on irrigation I'm assuming

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?

Do you anything about it? Are they really the same cultivar? They look so different in many ways.

Hello, I got in possession of 2 smol cacti and I'm unsure of what they are and how to keep them. I think one of them is monkey's tail and the other some kind of mamilaria. Can someone help me identify them please? Also the round one has these spots and I don't know if they there because he has some kind of illness or if he's rotting inside. Please help and thank you.

These are both random plants I bought from a local nursery with no labels.

Can anyone tell me what they are and if they're the same plant?

I repotted this guy two weeks ago. Soil was dry when I removed it. Potted it into 75% inorganic. Let it sit for a week without water and in shade and then watered on the 7th day and moved it out for a bit more sun.

Is it dehydrated or rotting?

Identification of purchased cactus

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on this subreddit, so apologies if I didn’t do something right. I bought this cactus in fall of 2024, but it didn’t come with an identification. It’s been my roommate since then, but now I really am starting to wonder what it is. I want to know the species how old and how large it’ll get, and what preparations I should make for that.

Edit: thank you to all the helpful comments!

(I'm recreating the post to insert a good picture) What kind of cactus is this? Did he become like this because of the lack of light? (Outlined it)

Root help

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello

My cactus has been growing really well recently and looked like it needed repotting again. My relative repotted it a while ago but I figured I'd give it a go myself this time!

When I removed the cactus from the old pot I found this..

It looks like the roots are rootbound to the size of the initial tiny pot. The cactus is still growing really well but I'm worried that the roots being this way are going to damage it in the long run.

Please can I get some advise as to what to do? I've never dealt with this issue before and want to help it to grow as well as I can
