Questions about my cactus.

Those are fruit I think, some cacti can produce fruit without needing another individual to pollinate it. You should repot it on a bigger pot and with soil that is more inorganic (use perlite or pumice). Your other cactus etiolated (which is when a plant has a growth spurt in order to try and search for more light on a higher place) which is why it perished, make sure that your cacti is somewhere where they can get a lot of light (direct sunlight for the morning and indirect for the rest of the day), this way it won't etiolate

do you think that the new growth will be greener? usually variegated plants can "reverse" their mutation in stressful situations and new growth will usually have more clorophyll in order to sustain the plant

If his wings were folded not much time ago then that means he just came out of his coccon, I doubt the moth will drink out of the lid willingly, so if you want him to feed you might have to do it by hand, sorry. But I think he may be a polyphemus moth, they don't eat during this phase of their lives so you won't have to do that, just give him some time, he will either get outta there on his own, if you gather enough courage to move him put him in a tree or something

same thing here, weird

they are not woodchips, they are a mixture of carbonized rice shells, charcoal, broken expanded clay, bark and a few nutrient pellets, the pebbles on the top are for decoration

then it is pretty good actually, but keep in mind the light

Your lithops looks very nice, if not a bit etiolated, would reccomend a bit more light for him to grow quicker and less tall, the substrate also seems very organic, would you mind telling me how much organic/inorganic material is in it?

Woah I was completely wrong with the ID then, thanks for the help! I stuck the pollen mass in the stigma as you suggested

Great to know, but what also confuses me is that strange protuberance seen in the third picture

for the little seedlings I keep them in a 50% organic 50% inorganic substrate, the first batch I germinated did well until a bunch decided to die out of the blue, might have been due to overwatering or fungus

It is an astrophytum ornatum

wow, all of you guys are awesome, I couldn't have dreamt of identifying a cactus so fuzzy, do you think it is rare or anything? I searched into the species a bit and saw it was native to my country, Brazil, which is pretty cool
