Re: bifurcate areole
Yes, but they are two parts of the same areole, one part on the tip and other part at the base of the tubercle.

Re: bifurcate areole
Bifurcation in this case means that the areoles are split between the tip of the tubercle (from where spines usually grow) and the space between tubercles (from where flowers, and sometimes offsets, appear).

Re: Hana's cacti
Have you ever checked the roots from time to time? How long after it started rooting? I would like to know that too :D Have all three offsets rooted? Have you tried rooting other Aztekium species Frank? I never heard of anyone successfully rooting A. ritteri (I know many people who tried) or A. val...

Re: Zac's Seedlings 2024
Another thought regarding rot-prone species, if anyone has an opinion..... Would the droplets of water on the seedlings from after I mist them be a source of rot? Should I be bottom watering to keep the bodies of the plants dry? Hello Zac, I don't think remaining droplets of water will present any ...

Lovely colours! Rebutia/Sulcorebutia/Aylostera group is my favourite among South-American cacti.

Re: Some of my seedlings
Strombocactus do you grow them enclosed in plastic ? They germinate easy but so small and more difficult than other tiny seed succulents like lithops. Dry out or rot is my experience. Yes, I use the same procedure as for other slow growing species (e.g. Aztekium). Seeds are sown in a sterile condit...

Re: Some of my seedlings
Seedlings of strombocactus disciformis grow very slowly. I sowed many seeds but about 50 seedlings have servived. The photo is some of them, 10~15 mm in diameter. Yes, they're not much faster than Aztekium species. Price is much lower, though (at least in Europe), due to low demand. How old are you...

Re: Help with ID please
I can't help you with the first one, but second one is Notocactus (Parodia) ottonis. At that size you may expect flowers very soon.

Re: Turbinicarpus
They are offsets I cut off a bunch of them a couple years ago and even through are big and flowering, no one buys them at the shows Yes, it's an interesting phenomenon that I've also observed. I'm not professional grower but a hobbyist and I don't attend shows regularly but when I have excess seedl...
