both of them are tropical cacti. Fertilyze em regularly and keep them damp, not WET damp.. and they dont need full sun either.

I got some mushrooms in the pot for my Pereskia.. they were yellow, it was weird. First time I ever had any issues with mushrooms lol

Opuntia hondurensis. I have it tho

BTW the white flowers suggest Rhipsalis.. would go with the ones Dave mentioned.

O. humifusa is mostly an Eastern Cactus.. I dont think that they are native to AZ, nor any states that are close by, but I could be wrong.

no, I dont think anyone can, it was horrible. Their last minutes of life must have been horrible. We will know more later when they do the medical exams. I am sure this made the news all around the world. I live not that far from where the fire is. It's over the mountains from us. More info is comin...

?John, I am ready when there is a fire that is threatening us, the fire by Yarnell is burning off to the north and east more. Right now that fire doesn't threaten us, but these days I am always ready. In 2005 me and my ex-wife were prepared to leave during the Cave Creek complex fire.. The results a...

A fast moving lightning caused fire in Arizona has killed 19 firefighters and injured 20 more. Unconfirmed reports are that the town of Yarnell is burnt down. At this time it's believed all the residents are ok, but who knows for sure. I am sure there will be more updates tomorrow. RIP fire fighters!

#6 Echinopsis (one of the Trichocereus now in Echinopsis, maybe spachiana?)

I mean some people I know that aren't cacti collectors do it cause it's more natural then other things, but.. And I know the exact process but I will never tell anyone on here.

lol sorry I forgot to put the G. bruchii in there, that's what I mean. Vlani thanks for filling in the rests.

Everything's bad for you and has side effects, but you cannot live without many of them in the required quantities. Most substances are toxic if taken in overlarge doses, including water, but you can't keep enough down at a time to poison you, though you can drown in it trying! :lol: Agreed tea and...

We can't hold a candle to those out west, but it's still miserably hot down here. Highs at 99 every day and the heat index is still 105 at 6:30. All my plants are very unhappy and no amount of watering can get them to perk up again. My cacti seem to be content with it, though :D hahaha I hate heat+...

yeah Steve, that's why I said deserts of Cali, mostly the Mojave and the Central Desert.. (Sonoran for part I think, whatever else it is lol I can't remember) Our high was 113. not as hot as they thought. lol tom 114. so I dont know tried to rain briefly!
Good luck to those who are in the heat wave

yes the heat will be wide spread.. and hot.. .. All I know is that I am worried about some of my plants. it might get too hot for them.. for how dry they are.
