Cacti ID

[theodor1289]

Hello!

Could you help me ID this little fellow ? I'd like to read more details about him such as watering instructions etc. Thanks !

Chamaecereus silvestri - or some hybrid of it I would guess (without seeing a flower)

Hi,It needs much more light as it is etiolated (growing long and narrow at tips ) A well draining medium for the pot and water once the soil is dried out.

How about Chamaelobivia "Rose quartz"? And I agree, it's etiolated.

Always that bit harder to identify etiolated plants but I'd say the true Chamaecereus silvestrii is a better bet than any of its hybrids.

You need to see flowers to tell for sure, but these are easy-to-flower cacti so that shouldn't be a problem. Just needs better light - unlike some cacti, they don't need hot, blazing sun, but they do need bright light. Some direct sun would be good, but gradually introduce it so it doesn't sunburn.

Thank you all for your help !
It is enough if I put it near the window ( on the inside ) or does it really need to be outside, in direct sunlight ?

Hi,where abouts in the world do you live?

[theodor1289]

That would be Bucharest, Romania.

They will flower indoors if you've got a window with good light. See - http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/LOBIVI ... estris.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
