If you put that Malphora in the ground, then you'll really see rampant! Cuttings are also easier than falling off a log. Of course the experts will tell you that its dormant in summer

Wow! That's quick!hegar wrote:Hello John,
you are right. The Echinocactus horizonthalonius does not give you much warning when it intends to flower. At my place, when I see a little pink on the plant, the cactus will flower that very same day. The blossom opens up at around 9 a.m. and closes at about 3 p.m.. I found, however, that the plant will flower repeatedly.

Yes, I did know that it is edible, but I never tried one.Saguaro123 wrote: Did you know that you can eat the Mammillaria fruit? I tried them and they tasted pretty good, even though they aren't filling because of their size
The Echiveria flowers are normal. They will continue to grow until they touch the ground.![]()
Are you sure if your E. horizothalonius isn't varigated?
