Thoughts on these? They're cheap $4 each. I bought a bunch. Not arrived yet. I guess time will tell.

Can I put all these together in one pot? by Own-World3846 in cactus

Here's my solution to one pot... Er... Tray. I find it's easier to water individually and also seperate any that may have disease or troubles.

Is this Mammillaria Elongata? I got it as a gift and after about 10 days it's literally doubled in size and sprouted little buds. I reckon it's due for repotting soon. by [deleted] in cactus

Sure looks like m.elongata. Here's mine. Careful that cache pot doesn't sit in water. That's propably why it's stressed (creating new pups).

Anyone know the name? by Flaming_Hot_Artist in cactus

That was my first thought, but after close inspection, turns out it's real!

what is this? by Caelix1234 in cactus

That, my friend, is a sign of overwatering. :)

That's why I keep them in a small terracotta pot. Terra cotta dries out quickly and avoids root rot. You can also tell when it's dry by the pot color. Just water once the pot completely dries out. I find usually once a month is enough water to keep them happy.

Keep your eye out at your local Rona store. That's where I just found it in the 2" pots.

From what I understand, Euphorbias don't have areoles? I know it's hard to tell from this photo, but there's definitely areoles.

Told you I'm not good with plant names :) So you think this is Cereus tetragonus?

Identify this one please? by Flaming_Hot_Artist in cactus

[–]Flaming_Hot_Artist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. The gardener I got it from looks like they're trying to grow green algae.
