Are they really that demanding? What temperature do they get during dormancy?
Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
Re: Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
They get maybe +5 or 6 C (windowsill) but maybe the problem is in my inadequate care i.e. not often re-potting or nutrients.
From other hand my E. sneedi v. sneedi plant has been more regular bloomer.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
Re: Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
You should definitely track that down.
Do you plan on using any fertilizer that could encourage blooming in the spring?
Re: Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
Yes, I'm planning this. But maybe too many offsets suck of juices from central (and potentially blooming) ones?

Re: Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
Nice cactus. I have a Escobaria sneedi v. leei a big clump but never flowers . Have made cuttings also pretty easy to root them .
Re: Escobaria sneedi v. leei offset
Maybe keep them colder, if you are able too. They can take quite some frost. Maybe the flowering even depends on it.
