Re: 3 Non-Mammillaria/Non-Globe cacti IDs request
The first is Oreocereus trollii. I think the last one is Gymnocalycium anisitsii.

Re: cactus with red lower - id request
Lobivia acanthoplegma was the closest to a match that I could find, but it doesn't quite fit - I think it's more likely a hybrid.

Re: cactus with red lower - id request
Yep. There are so many of these hybrids that it's often impossible to determine which you've got if it's unlabeled. I really love the color of this one, though, wish I knew its name.

Re: Grass in outdoor cactus beds
What the Roundup web site says about that: "Thanks to this plant's hardy nature and extensive root system, it may require a second application to wipe it out completely."
I think they're being over-optimistic.

Re: cactus with red lower - id request
Looks like a Lobivia, now lumped into Echinopsis.

Re: Grass in outdoor cactus beds
Quackgrass is a real pain, it will come back. Germination inhibitors won't help, since it spreads by rhizomes. However, if you put down a deep mulch, the rhizomes will run just under the mulch and can be pulled out easily. I found wood chips worked well for this, I'm sure gravel would do the same. A...

Re: Recognition
Pot culture is very different from growing in the ground - excess water is drawn away by the surrounding soil in the ground. In a pot, only the force of gravity drains it, and it's a weaker force than the adhesion of water to the soil. Soil in the bottom of the pot remains saturated until the plant ...

Re: Euphorbia franckiana?
No - it's a Euphorbia, but nothing like frankiana. Maybe E. anoplia.

Re: Ilvin's Lithops Seedlings
Yes. some of them aren't in very good shape for transplanting but it can't be helped - you risk much more severe losses by not getting them separated. If rot should get started in that mass it would be devastating.

Re: Euphorbia? Stapelia Variegata? Help!!!
Yes, cuttings should work fine. Cuttings of this species root easily.

Re: Euphorbia? Stapelia Variegata? Help!!!
Fasciation, commonly called cresting, can occur in any plant. What you have is clearly a crested plant which has partly reverted to normal growth, which is not unusual. Yes, it's Ceropegia mixta, better known by the older names Orbea variegata or Stapelia variegata.

Re: Ilvin's Lithops Seedlings
It's time to transplant. Bigger is better, but they have no room to get bigger. Here's a page that covers this: https://lithopsblog.wordpress.com/2018/ ... splanting/

Re: Seedling repotting
You should give them all the insecticidal soap treatment whether you can see mealies or not - the mealybug nymphs are just specks.
