Lovely Beauties🌵☀️🌼

I made this bowl a while ago with some copiapoa but updated it with a couple of lophs. In a couple of weeks I'm entering it into a BCSS show where for the very first time there will be a dedicated habitat style class.

This guy did not want to push roots in soil, cut it back, waited a week to callus and placed it in water 2 days ago!

We all know some cacti don’t bloom every year, patient rewarded.

Inherited this from a customer at my work, an older man who is moving into assisted living and sadly won’t have enough light for it. He asked me if I would be willing to take it on and obviously I couldn’t refuse-but am wondering about the species. I am confident it is a myrtillocactus but it’s growing so bizarrely I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on it. Also wanted to note that this man grew this thing inside and said he’s owned it for decades which is nuts to me.

I am so honored to be taking on this plant, I own a little over 20 cacti myself-not counting my epiphytic cacti, and really want to know as much as I can about it as I can.

Side note it weighs a bajillion pounds and getting it out of his home and into my apartment (I live on the top floor of my building and there is no elevator) was by no means an easy feat

Last month I saw this prickly pear laying on its back in a trash pile and wanted to see it come back to life. I let it sit for a couple weeks and potted it beginning July. I watered it after 2 weeks and boom. New growth.

credit to sacred_rice_1473 for thinking of this idea!

Forgot the id but it is massive for growing in an Alaskan windowsill

Wait till I see a few guesses before I post a picture

I was away for some days and it turned red out of nowhere, it used to look like the one on the second photo before.

Went to repot my baby Bruce's dragon because it was sort of etiolating and the mix it was in didn't seem great, plus I just like knowing exactly what the mix is ya know? Found this and I'm heart broken. This looks hella bad to me. Should I cut this above the dark spot and reroot? Should I just put in a grittier mix and pray? I love this thing and I'd hate to lose it. I suck at this. 😂

My large 16inch ferocactus opened its first bloom today. Can't wait to see multiple open simultaneously

The first picture is from 2017 (taken from mom's Facebook). In 2021 the Great Texas Freeze took out most of our plants. Some recovered, but the majority of hers (all cacti) were goners. This thing had a large branch fall and take root and TOOK OFF between 2017 and 2021 so it was taking over this bed, but we can't find any pictures! And sadly we can't find any pictures of it blooming (though I know there were some!). Over the years she's been slowly removing its dead body and taking it to the curb or putting what she could in the trash. Recently she had me come help her clean out the cactus bed and remove the leftover stump that had been sitting untouched for almost 2 years. That's when I discovered that it had babies! So we potted them up and maybe one day, 10-20 years from now, it'll be back to it's former glory 🥲 (just not here because she plans on moving!)

Is he trying to say hi?

Just recently moved the little ones to a window, and the larger one outside. Should I cut the new growth off them or just leave it?

10 ordered 11 arrived and 11 have appeared. First cactus grow from seed. They're supposed to be san pedro from a cactus farm in Arizona. I have 3 named cultivars already from my fellow redditors so these are more for the experience. I have no idea what a sprout should look like. Any advice for these little jelly beans?

I searched it on Plantnet and it claims it's a "Cereus repandus (L.) Mill aka Peruvian Apple Cactus. Though when I google it I can't find anything similar

he looks like a snail 🐌

Can anyone enlighten me as to why my astrophytum is leaning? Just a couple of months ago it was still erected straight. I’m scratching my brain just for an answer
