Well then, congratulations! I guess the first thing to tell you is the proper name of your new cacti: Tephrocactus articulatus v. papyracanthus Don't water until your new plants have had time to grow roots. That may be a couple of months or longer. Keep them in bright shade, but no direct sun until ...

The flower in the first picture is almost certainly fake. It is a real flower, but not from a cactus. This is common practice by unscrupulous cactus wholesalers designed to attract inexperienced customers. Look for glue where it is attached to what looks like another Mammillaria. These usually have ...

My hunch is that mystery plant #2 is a Glottiphyllum, maybe platycarpum (syn. depressum), or another species. It looks like it is overdue for a repotting. I suggest taking it out of the pot, then remove any old, dead leaves, check the roots, and replant with fresh soil. It looks like it is growing n...

That's what I would do. The first will never look right again, and the second will be scarred for life. Sorry.just mike wrote:I should probably throw them out and start again?
Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to learn and play. Please come back and show us any new succulents you get.

Yes, remove the top portion with a sharp clean knife. Lay the cutting down in the shade to let the cut callous over. After a week you can plant in DRY soil that is about 75% inorganic materials like perlite, pumice or lava rock (scoria), gravel, etc. You can use shredded redwood bark for the organic...
