A Couple of Cactus for ID Please

Post by savant »

Hi all, I've had these two cacti for a few months now and I'm at a loss as to what they are.

The first one I think has a name like castles and the other one might be a Noto but hopefully some one can put me right.

First one looks like cleistocactus strausii, and the second looks like Mammillaria hahniana.

They look like they are ready for repotting :)

Agreed - on both the IDs and the need for repotting. Just as well to wait 'til next spring, though, they should be going dormant now.
