cutting

Post by cactushobbyman »

I received a single cutting from paulzie almost two years ago. It has grown just a little. Sorry, I don't know the name. :-k

Holy cow! Dogtail cactus or Selenicereus testudo. Looks better than mine at the moment. Squirrels or rats or something found mine and must have figured the soft spines were no bother.

Nice job!

If it is the two on the very bottom shelf, I believe Haworthia fasciata zebra plant, middle shelf, Chamaecerus sylvestris peanut cactus. :)

yeah, the C. sylvestrii is the one I was talking about. Looks very long. Not so peanut-like :-)

Better pic, I think they are C. sylvestrii. Six months ago they were turning purple from too much light. I think they are looking much better.
