Third plant looks like a Thelocactus sp.? but I couldn't pinpoint the species.

Not exactly May but the first of them opened on June 2nd...not the colour I was expecting. Honestly I'm not even sure if this is M. theresae anymore. Flowers are close to magenta than light pink that prevails the web. Could this be a hybrid?

I don't know if you've seen this link before. Instead of water them thoroughly each time they get dry, he waters them frequently but lightly.

It is now sitting happily in fresh medium using the same pot...wish it a long and prosper life from now on :) The dead roots are trimmed off and the fresh cut dusted with cinnamon powder...2 weeks passed, and it...

Getting these Echinocereus rigidissimus ready for sale at the show this Sunday.

Thank you for the confidence boost Spence!

And yes I shall keep a close monitor to the amount of light they receive.

It may be true that some pests during any stage of a collection are inevitable, but if I were a half decent online seller, I'd inspect my plants before I ship them to the customer. He wasn't publicly shaming the seller. If I ever want to order plants through EBay I'd definitely PM the OP for the sel...

When I started this log my intention was to solely focus on cacti, but I simply could not fend off a few mesembs creeping in. Newly hatched Conophytum burgeri 1 week old https://i.imgur.com/HlgP91v.jpg https://i.imgur.com/p1vx9D3.jpg Lithops otzeniana 'aquamarine' https://i.imgur.com/rLGs8oi.jpg

The short answer is they are still alive The long answer is they all got anxiety attack and seized growing. A month since I exposed them to drier atmosphere and higher light, they blushed up and enter the 'hard grown' mode. Because I've been spoiled by ultra rapid growth under the baggie method, my ...
