Re: Coryphantha ID
I was at a local nursery the other day and noticed a flat of these striking Coryphantha labeled C. elephantidens, but that does not seem right. My first impression is C. robustispina (C. scheeri v. robustispina). Am I completely wrong here? IMG_20220909_142020575.jpg IMG_20220909_142043454_HDR.jpg ...

Re: Rot in M. geometrizans
It does not look healthy after your last cut, you shouldn't see any brown tissue on the cut.
I think you are over watering, is the soil drying in between waerings?

Re: Ferocactus ?
I would agree with you on #1, second one reminds me of a tall Lobivia, but I can't remember which.

Re: Cactus identify plz
Some kind of Ferocactus that has been grown under poor light conditions, needs more sun, but not full sun-needs to be aclimmated slowly

Re: Hana's cacti
Several cacti have been planted on the ground. They were covered by winter weeds and I removed weeds in this afternoon. The photo is one of them, unknown name. I bought seeds of Ferocactus-mix and sowed in 2003. The current location is too shady. I will repot this one in September. I do not know th...

Re: Where did everyone go.

Re: MrXeric's Grafts
This 7 month old graft of Ariocarpus fissuratus, from seed sown last year, bloomed yesterday before the rain. I've been watching the bud form for the last couple months, thinking it was an offset at first since it didn't form on the the apex but lower down, almost Mammillaria-like. https://imgur.co...
