I have a few Cintias, all on their own roots. Also a few seedlings from seed off my plants. Two things of note when growing them - be careful not to split them with too much water, and watch you don't burn them in the summer. They're high altitude plants so need lots of good air movement and not too...

Having grown Sulcorebutias for 30 years, I can say that this is natural and nothing to fret about

Excellent

Spring is still a long way away here but it's certainly something to look forward to!

Fantastic Dave! As you say, there are some really kind folk around, happy to pass on plants at the drop of a hat. The Sulcorebutia sounds extremely interesting - any chance of a photo?

Are you sure it's an off-set and not a seedling?

Braw! Well done

I've left Schlumbergeras outside over the Scottish winter for three years on the trot and they're flowering away happily

Looks just dandy to me Steve. A cracking plant

Cracking plants and photos Dave

Aye, that's a right scunner for sure

Even if some are damaged, once they're re-potted and left dry for a fortnight, they should pull away no problem.

Excellent Maja

Fantastic!

A nice plant for sure

Sulcorebutia pulchra is now more correctly named Sulcorebutia callichroma http://www.sulcopassion.be/pdf/0116_2012.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very interesting! I wonder if there was ever a "Cactus boy" version and if so, what cacti were used

That's a late bud and a great photo
