All good points! Yes I don't think mine has fertilizer in it. I agree it's a lot wetter here it rains a lot in spring and early summer. Sometimes for weeks straight so I have to bring them under porch. These guys here do get long amount of direct sunlight when sunny but it's not uncommon for it to b...

Edit : Is there a reason why yours has bigger and more sounds then mine ? IDK, there could be a number of reasons. The mix it's in contains some time release fertilizer and was under direct sunlight for 8+ hours during the growing season. Also, yours is sharing a pot with another cactus, so maybe t...

Yes they seem to love the direct sunlight and tolarent of damp soil as long as it is sunny. Only time I move mine is when it rains for several days straight and of course for winter.

Holy huge! lol that is a awesome plant

I betting on it being slugs! i always get slug damage on outside plants and they seem to have a taste for succulents.

Thank you both! I think you both are right that is a Carnegiea gigantea. I would have never guess or thought you could find those around here lol

The cactiguide says that species is pretty rare to find but sure does look alot like it. I think it might be just a look alike or a similar species. Any ideas what it might be?
