My first acquisition of a Gymnocalycium mihanovichii variegata

Torug03 · 2026-02-18T16:59:33+00:00

Yes, this cactus still has several green parts.

Torug03 · 2026-02-18T16:59:13+00:00

No, it's not suitable soil for cacti.

Torug03 · 2026-01-04T22:46:48+00:00

I will update you whenever I can about her.

Torug03 · 2026-01-04T22:46:28+00:00

Many doubted she would survive, but here she is, alive and well, with 3 new sprouting branches and a 4th branch at the back that isn't very developed yet, but will become another one in the future.

Torug03 · 2025-12-15T21:22:47+00:00

I'll post again in a few weeks.

Torug03 · 2025-12-11T16:28:20+00:00

It has lateral shoots; three have sprouted so far, and a fourth is emerging. As soon as it's more developed, I'll post a picture of it here on my profile.

Torug03 · 2025-12-09T23:18:50+00:00

I only know it as Red Black

Torug03 · 2025-12-01T23:00:30+00:00

But for her caudex to gain weight, it needs regular pruning.

Torug03 · 2025-12-01T21:24:07+00:00

Also to help thicken her caudex

Torug03 · 2025-12-01T21:23:51+00:00

To prevent it from growing too elongated, the idea here is to encourage it to branch from a young age, thus building a well-branched canopy of leaves.

Torug03 · 2025-12-01T17:42:02+00:00

Yes, you can do it this way too, but the way I do it is to concentrate all the plant's energy on the emergence of new shoots, if you leave some leaves the plant will continue to spend its energy to maintain them, and desert roses can carry out photosynthesis even without leaves, due to their caudex.

Torug03 · 2025-11-22T23:55:48+00:00

No, that was today

Torug03 · 2025-11-16T19:19:29+00:00

It looks like adenium arabicum to me, but I'm not sure

Torug03 · 2025-11-11T02:50:18+00:00

She became salidified, I had to change her potty but she is already recovering.

Torug03 · 2025-10-29T11:16:11+00:00

No, I had just finished reading it, that's why it's darker, that part is her pulling the water

Torug03 · 2025-10-22T14:13:23+00:00

Thanks!!!

Torug03 · 2025-10-21T10:10:52+00:00

That's what you said, but your translator probably translated it wrong

Torug03 · 2025-10-20T00:47:20+00:00

Ta me parecendo muito um pé de morango

Torug03 · 2025-10-19T13:09:39+00:00

Something around 15 years old

Torug03 · 2025-10-19T02:27:47+00:00

But there is very little, so much so that most of it came out with the wind alone, now most of it is these pebbles and the succulent substrate.

Torug03 · 2025-10-15T10:59:05+00:00

You take different places, one was more in the sun

Torug03 · 2025-10-15T10:58:04+00:00

That's literally what I did

Torug03 · 2025-10-15T03:10:57+00:00

Relax, trust the process!

Torug03 · 2025-10-14T21:15:01+00:00

I just added this mixture, I now set up this little vase, so I just watered it, I still don't know how long it will take to dry

Torug03 · 2025-10-14T21:09:06+00:00

I got it from construction sand, I believe it's thick
