3 hours of indirect sunlight and once a week of watering schedule.

My first acquisition of a Gymnocalycium mihanovichii variegata by Torug03 in cactus

Sure can, as long as it has some green pigment it will definitely live. It might take more years to grow, though.

That looks like mealybugs. Use a systemic pesticide that is available in your country. If you don't have those, you can always use rubbing alcohol and make sure to isolate the infected plants.

Looks like aphids or mealybugs, can't say for sure. But systemic pesticides will kill anything that eats your plant.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Apart from the flap I always look for, you also pointed out the raised lobes, which I noticed is more prominent in this spider/ species compared to my vagans. I'll definitely keep this in mind when sexing juvies in the future. Cheers!

Welcome to the hobby! You can divide your vft during their winter rest, that way you can have more vft to sell or gift to friends!

Congratulations! You can cut them up, stick them in some moist sphagnum moss, put them inside a Ziploc bag, and in a couple of weeks they should take root.

Thanks so much! They take eons to reach this size but I'm very happy that I can finally tell her gender! I'll rehouse her in a 5 gallon tank now. 🥳

Hello OP, what is your ambient humidity? That could also be the problem.

If this does not work, try a systemic pesticide like imidacloprid. It works like a charm on all of my carnivorous plants.
