ID needed for a whole bunch of sharpies

Post by pulp »

Hi everyone! I started hoarding plants a while back and kind of want to start labelling them, out of interest, but none of them were named when I bought them. Would be very happy for some help! Picture 7 has an Opuntia microdasys if I got it right? BTW am I hurting the small plants I've put together in a big zink pot? Read they shouldn't have too large containers, maybe I should pair them into clay pots instead.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
