I've only been growing cacti for about a year now, and my collection is small, and so I don't have a whole lot of advice to give. I will say, though, that I have five baby Frailea castanea and they don't seem to be doing anything. They could be dead, I'm not sure. Apparently, they don't like it here.

My cacti have been growing like crazy this year This H. undantus doubled its size in about four weeks. The whole top portion just came out of nowhere http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/2274_DSC_0015_2.jpg Here's a T. pachanoi. The Wider portion at the top is new this season http://www.cactiguid...

Yea, man. Those are pretty. A lot of work but it's a labor of love.

The more I see Copiapoas the more I think they're one of the most attractive genera. Beautiful flower.

Don't you have another A. asterias similar to that one? Is the other one active yet this season?

Yea, the Feros are awfully cute when young, too. And yours look quite happy

That crest is something else! Welcome to the forum.

Well, I had to give my vote to Ralph. That mound with the red fruits and the white and yellow flowers was just too much. But Lee and MildBill get honorable mention.

Beautiful habitat pics, Peter. I go to Phoenix about once a year. Next time I come maybe I could get a wildlife tour?

Dustin, that's terrible. I imagine you can probably salvage the plant, but not something you want to see when you go check on your cactus. I hate my darn cats. Not just becasue they get into my plants, but becauce they will eventually ruin EVERYTHING nice you have. I should have never got them. Now ...

Oh man, there's nothing like seeing the first green pop up from inside those baggies. Congrats and looking forward t updates from a fellow seed growing weenie! We need an official CactiGuide "I'm a seed growing weenie" T-shirt. I want a mug too :D Daiv, you ever think about going into mer...

If you're really hungrey, and you don't have anything to do, you could always eat some L. williamsii

Cool. Lots of great pics this time. This one will be a tough choice
