Hello All,
Please could anyone help identify this lovely cactus?
I don't have the knowledge to positively identify it myself, but it has gone downhill since I re potted it and an identification could help me with a recovery plan as well as general care if it pulls through!
Its spines are quite distinctive with the lowermost spine being longer than the others. I don't know how old it is but it's about 4 inches in diameter.
Many thanks

I have one very much like it and it's labeled Melocactus zehentneri (although I'm not quite sure that it is - it has not yet grown a cephalium)

Thank you teo, yes I find it's so hard to tell when they're immature, they can look so different to the adults.
