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.

I have this lovely cactus that I replanted last month start to flower!

I’m assuming this means it’s happy? What happens after the flowering? Will it grow another cactus?

I think it’s super cool that the flower opens and closes based on the time of day and light exposure.
(Also found out it’s my cake day) 🍻

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.

Bruce's Dragon and heart break...

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. 😂

SW Michigan -- eastern prickly pear (opuntia cespitosa)

not sure if a critter caused this or what but its been present since the plant reinflated itself this spring. it caused one of the pads to fall off but that pad is now growing new pads of its own so idk if i really need to be that concerned? but im new to prickly pears so idk if this is a disease or pest or something other than just regular overwintering damage or curious critters taking a nibble.

What's going on here?

I don't normally run to Reddit for help, but what is going on here. I've had this cacti for years and we seem to have hit a growth spurt as of late. Are these tufts just part of the growth or is this dude preparing to bloom? I've had a number of my other cactus Bloom this year, but this one never has. Oh, and any suggestions on straightening this guy up. Obviously, we are kinda top heavy here. I tried last year to get him straight (hence the stake) but we have developed a lean again. The root kinda does 90° turn so i'm combatting this weird root too. He spends most of the year outside and then moves into the house for late fall/winter/very early spring.
