I got a decently sized clump of Conophytum truncatum last september. It has recently started shrivelling and I believe is beginning a leaf change. However, while in some heads I can feel a noticeable hard lump others are just very squishy. Should I be worried? This is first clump I got and I really ...

Thanks for that long answer! Will try.

Definitely is. I've had scale outbreaks before, just never this bad.

Thanks, will try.

I recently left my plants alone for ~ 1 month since I had to go somewhere, and I came back to almost 1/3 of my collection covered in scale bugs and mealies. Can anyone give me a way to get rid of a lot of scale at once? There's about 40 affected plants :(. I think they were there before, just in sma...

That ariocarpus seems to have grown a whole lot!

G'morning memememe, Many of my taller astrophytums (asterias) are also developing the indentations towards the middle like the one in the 2nd pic. A cactus can change the body volume which depends upon water volume in soft tissues. Soft tissues can change the volume but skin can not. A cactus with ...

Could it be some pest that reoccurs when the climate is right? Very interesing - would be a really cool mutation if it was one.

Beautiful plants! I have a question: Many of my taller astrophytums (asterias) are also developing the indentations towards the middle like the one in the 2nd pic. they now looks like they have a bottom segment and a top segment (only on one side, the other side seems normal). I have given it water,...
