Thanks, I'll have that in mind as well.

Re: Ferocactus plant ID, please

It's still in its juvenile form, where the areoles are on prominent tubercles (big bumps), mature specimens are less tuberculate. I see your point; so I'd rather wait till the single areoles turn into rib lines! ...I have a Ferocactus pilosis that I grew, like you, from a packet of mixed seed, and ...

Re: Ferocactus plant ID, please

IDing young Feros is not easy, but you could be right. Actually, this plant is about 11 years old, but all I can give it is a sunny (sometimes) windowsill facing south-west between midday and 6 pm.

Ferocactus plant ID, please

Good afternoon dear cactus friends,
The raised from a seed mixture plant surely is a ferocactus; I call it gracilis but am not sure of it. Can you approve of my guess?

Re: Tricho spachianus problem

All right, I'll give it the last chance. And get rid of the plant if it hasn't come to normal life till the next winter.

Re: Tricho spachianus problem

Well, I first thought of red mites (and the like) but it isn't the most vulnerable plant (and species) in my collection... As I 've cut it time and again, it's pretty short now - about 33 cm high:

Tricho spachianus problem

Hi guys! In 2012 I got a seedling of the plant wishing to see it flowering on a windowsill or in the balcony (that's all I have to offer my cactus plants). But since 2015 I've been having this problem: IMG_5130.JPG I've rerooted it a few times, used some antifangus medicine - all in vain. The proble...
