Welcome aboard!

Some of the plants I have inside for the cold.

Hylocereus Costariencis

Image

Another Gymno that I’m not sure of the species

Image

Something that was labeled Echinobivia Rainbow Burst

Image

Another subdenudata

Image

A baby ragonesei. I think they are the cutest cacti when they are young and plump.

Image

Christmas and Zig Zag cactus (not sure of the scientific name for either)

Image

Once it warms up and I get out to the garden I’ll post more :)

Hello to Tucson,

it should be Kalanchoe daigremontiana - the "Goethe plant".


Best wishes

The first succeulant I ever grew was this. I have no idea what it is. I got it as a cutting from my neighbor. Maybe some sort of large echiveria?

Image

Image

And some large Opuntia, in the back yard, with dreadful tiny little spines. Not sure of the species with this one either.

Some more plants. Sorry about the leaves these guys stay out all year around.

What I believe to be echinocereus reichenbachii albispinus. If any one knows for sure that would be awesome :).

I think the first one is Kalanchoe delagoensis, not Kalanchoe daigremontiana which has wider leaves. No difference in the care, they don't need any - you just need to control their invasive tendencies. Looks like you've got that one pretty well contained.

Christmas and Zig Zag cactus (not sure of the scientific name for either)

Image
The Gymnocalycium is G.horstii or its sub species buenekeri. If it flowers white it is definitely horstii, if it's pink it could still be either :lol:

The Christmas cactus is Schlumbergera truncata - I'm surprised it grows in the heat and dry air of Arizona!

I love the crested Trichocereus, very impressive, did you grow it yourself from a small plant or buy it already that big?

Thank you for the ID info. In full sun here in AZ the Schlumbergera would shirvel to nothing in a couple of days. I’m sure when it hits 115 degrees in the summer I’m going to have to just keep all the epiphytes indoors.

As for the Panchanoi, no I bought it in November. Still need to repot it.
