Hi there,
I inherited a disheveled cacti around two years ago, it had been left dry and had a santas beard and hat pinned to it! I sliced the top off, basically leaving the root and a callous above the soil. After a few weeks it started sprouting like crazy, and I now have around a dozen offsets as well as the original plant left! Problem is I can't ID it/them, can anyone help? Thanks very much.

Thanks for this, makes perfect sense really, as I have similar leninghausii's in the greenhouse too! Wasn't sure if an ID was possible from such small plants.

Re: A dead easy ID for someone . . .
Both those IDs are correct, synonyms for the same cactus. One of the easiest species to ID.
