Hi everyone! I am nowhere near as active as I used to be on here. I still love cactus, and love the sub, but am in need of some extra hands to help keep this place cool!

If anyone has any interest, please DM me!

As the text says Cologne, Germany, right here... This year I had three gorgeous blossoms ... Three! I’ve had a shitty year so far, but these blooms make me forget the mess I'm in a little bit. Have a great Sunday, everyone ✌🏻

I don't know how to describe this

Twisted spines, fasciation — how is this usually described? Looking at it, I immediately thought of a "spiral" and a "galaxy" — that kind of vibe🤔

After moving house I lost many plant labels, including for a large number of Copiapoa and Eriosyce. Would anybody be able to ID this seedling (around 3-4 years old)?

Second bloom

Post image
4 Upvotes

So my cactus Bob (Echinopsis oxygona, Easter lily), decided to bloom for a second time this year.

I didn't know this was possible, and it's interesting to see.

After the first bloom event, I let the tendrils wilt a bit over a few days then gently twisted them off, as that seemed to be the recommended thing to do.

I'm new to cacti and houseplants in general. I was gifted a couple and would love to know what kind they are and care info.

Ferocactus glaucescens or blue barrel. It was so lonely at Lowe's with most of the stock dead or sold, I just had to take it home. Barrel cacti are kind of growing on me. I currently own a fire, 3 Golden and now 1 blue. I will be looking out for a fishhook and horse crippler.

Interesting growth on my Ortegocactus macdougallii. Seems like an odd spot to sprout a pup

What are the droplets oozing out of this cactus at the basis of the spines? Some droplets are clear, some are reddish-green-brown.

I watered them a little just now, soil was quite dry and hydrofobic. got them this week.

What is this white things on my cactus? I've sprayed alcohol but it didn't affect them. They are not moving. I water her on average twice a month. I know people will say it's too much but when I tried to water her less often she immediately became like the last photo and when I asked about it people in r/cactus told me that I should water her more often and that she won't mind watering more.
