Need help with this dyckia ID!
I really want to know the name so, any help is appreciated! The grey coloured specks on the bigger one is new, wasn't there when I bought it. Also, it's a super slow grower, is that normal?

I think thats scale insect. Suggest adequate treatment
Re: Need help with this dyckia ID!
Too small for scale, also some dyckia species do have white specks.
There is no cactus you can't eat, but you just might regret it if you eat the wrong one.
Re: Need help with this dyckia ID!
Except those are transparent and resemble tufts of fuzz, like on other bromeliads. Also are more densely covering the leaf.In addition, the only one ive seen with specks is fosteriana, and neither does the plant or the spot pattern resemble it.
