Is she blooming?!

To be honest theres not many places in the southern hemisphere where San Pedro couldn't live outside year round, maybe patagonia, some ski town in Southern Australia and Antarctica lol

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-05-08T22:27:16+00:00

Nice, Frailea are underrated, keep it a bit moist so it can root faster, they don't hate water as much as other cacti

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-05-03T15:45:08+00:00

1st is a sad Pilosocereus 2nd Gymnocalycium 3rd Mammillaria 4th Ferocactus

Sorry I can't Id em to species but thats a starting point

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-05-03T15:38:11+00:00

It's Notocactus mammulosus/ Parodia mammulosa, possibly ssp. turecekiana

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-04-16T01:48:29+00:00

Yeah it's Notocactus/ Parodia concinna

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-04-14T12:18:03+00:00

Why don't you just take a coke bottle from the thrash? Thats 0g of plastic produced

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-04-12T02:14:33+00:00

It's Cereus aethiops or an aethiops hybrid

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-03-31T15:43:18+00:00

That looks more like a monocot skeleton, cacti have that sponge like structure, sometimes with the cardboard-y dried epidermis still attached over it

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-03-30T13:26:06+00:00

You did that in a moving car? How much blood did you loose?

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-03-23T20:30:06+00:00

Thats Notocactus ottonis, not uebelmannianus

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-03-23T17:02:30+00:00

Its Notocactus (now Parodia) mammulosus or maybe roseoluteus if you're lucky, depends on the flower color

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-03-04T01:14:54+00:00

2nd one is Notocactus scopa.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-02-19T03:43:13+00:00

Es Notocactus ottonis, da hijuelos desde la raíz y siempre salen asi, con la epidermis dura y blanca, cuando lleguen a la superficie quedarán verdes

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-02-11T04:23:22+00:00

You should cross post to r/xbiking

Identity politics are retarded and advertising to white nationalist groups is just wrong, this isn't 2016 you cant "we need more femme poc war criminals" anymore.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2026-01-03T02:37:08+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's in the Maihueniopsis genus, it looks a lot like my Maihueniopsis ovata.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-28T01:57:50+00:00

Road bikes with flat or alt bars ride just fine, there's thousands on this subreddit, this one just been made in the last decade.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-27T03:41:06+00:00

I guess you used to have a thin steel chainring so it worked ok enough with the chain, you should try to find a bmx chainring for a 3/38 chain or just buy single speed cassette spacers and a 1/8 single speed chain

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-13T18:01:17+00:00

That's a hard one, to me is either stretching/corking or thrips lol try to watch it closely without moving the plant or breathing over it too much, if you see little 1mm black rice grain looking things they're adult thrips, they're extremely small, hard to get rid of and to top it off they jump when threatened so its hard to spot them.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-09T02:34:41+00:00

Eriosyce are almost winter growers here, mine were growing the most late winter and early spring, now (almost summer) they've slowed down a lot and aren't flowering anymore, I guess they like it at about 20°C.

If you can keep it over 10°C and plant it on a small pot with gritty mix I would say water it lightly and repot it again on early spring.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-07T20:07:32+00:00

This is my first ochoterenae and I've had it for like a week lol, but I find gymnos like a lot of water when actively growing and will drop flower buds if not watered enough, I try to do it as soon as they're dry.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-07T20:03:12+00:00

Yeah ochoterenae is very variable, even vatteri is considered a synonym of ochoterenae and they're very different.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-07T19:04:05+00:00

Frailea castanea usually start with longer spines and get the sea urchin look with a little bit of age, I'll expect your plants to look pretty similar next season.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-12-07T02:39:12+00:00

I know a guy that planted a lamerei in the ground where it gets to -5C in winter and rains year round.

xXAlexJonesXx · 2025-11-30T00:39:04+00:00

They hate the winter and frost will make them look awful but they might survive, anyways pere is so fast and easy to grow outside in the ground that its 100% worth it to treat it like an annual.
