Need Help Identifying Cactus!

Post by lonewolf »

I have two cactus recently purchased from house sale and I need to know what kind they are to take care of them. They are big. One with buds is 14 inches tall and other round one is 10 inches tall. Any help on watering would be appreciated. Need to repot too? New to cactus world!
Thanks!Image

The first and third are Echinopsis oxygona

The second is a Ferocacactus - probably pottsii, but I can't say for sure.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti

Sweet garage sale! (one of my favorite past times) how much were they? They're sort of big!
Thirsty for knowledge. Please water me more than your cactus!
