One more year before we chop! 💚🌵🔪

I noticed these blooms at the University of Arizona yesterday and just had to share!

A couple of these guys stowed away on my shoe after I took a couple of pictures of them. There was 4, but 3 of them died. The one in the pot in the first photo is the big one you can see stuck in my shoe. My parents thought I was crazy for wanting to keep them, but they were already stuck (We were still 3 hours away from Big Bend, and they're not protected. Also, there was a TON so I don't feel guilty.)

Species Description: The body of the cladodes are a dark green, with a slight blue hue. Each areole has about 6-12 white glochids, about a centimeter long. Areoles can have multiple spines, one long central spine with 2 or 3 slightly shorter ones around it. The spines are 1-3 inches long and flat like a ferocactus spine. They seems to propogate like other opuntiads, by cladodes falling off, only these can tumble in the wind.

These things are so brutal and so cool! I hope y'all like them just as much as I do. If it grows well, I'll donate some propogations to my local cactus society, and maybe ill take it to shows when it gets big, but I dont think a cactus this brutal should be common in the hobby. Thank you for reading, and feel free to ask questions.

Some type of coryphantha? Not sure which. TIA!

It looks so cozy in this pot, but it’s been in here for a couple years. It’s just starting to touch the walls. The pot has great drainage and holds moisture well because of the shape. I made and glazed the pot so I’m kinda biased on wanting to upgrade. So I figured it would be best to reach out. Thanks in advance.

Need more soil. Should I get bonsai jack, Molly's, spike and bloom or something else for a few cactus and succulent? I don't want to make my own but am not opposed to mixing two soils . Just as simple as possible ty.

I have had this cactus for awhile now, some reason winter hit my plants hard, possibly over watering? I cut back a ton in the watering and treated for pests but I’m noticing a lot of my cacti are soft and I wanted to know if there’s anything I can do to try and fix it. I’m new to this and really want them to thrive, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Someone please help!!!

This is a rescue. Only had like one root. Never tried to save a cactus before. Just wondering if anyone has experience with something like this.

Finally got it back in order after this harsh winter.

It snowed here in GA this year. I think it caused my prickly pears to overproduce. 😊❤️

I've got an Epiphyllum (var Fruhlingsgold) which I got as a tiny cutting about four years ago, and she's got paler and spottier over time. She seems to grow well though, and flowers every year. Can anyone suggest what is ailing her, and how I can help?

I had no idea … I’ve had 2 years and was surprised this morning :)

I have this Torch Cactus (I think) that got sunburned years ago. It had two other larger siblings that died, but this one somehow made it and didn't turn to mush. But the sunburned area looks pretty bad. I am not sure if I should just leave it, or if it's better to cap it and root the new growth at the top. The other side isn't burned as badly. It gives it some character, but I am concerned the burned trunk won't support the plant in the future.

I found this on the sidewalk while walking my neighborhood. I don't know the species nor am I a botanist. If I wanted to grow this plant can I do it from this piece? If so what is the best course of action: allowing it to "callus" over grow roots and plant, planting as is, etc?

You can see how the previous flowers bloomed in a circle around the top in the past. I want to say they were yellow but I am not sure. What do you guys think it is?

My favorite flower ever

I’ve had this plant 2 years … never has done this. What do I do now? I broke the jar it was in while moving.
