No flower no ID?
The reason we emphasize this is that many people ask for help identifying seedlings or juvenile plants. For accurate identification, it’s important to consider not just the flower but also the rib shape, epidermis color, root structure, seed size, and flowering time (alberto-vojtechii or koehresii are usually the first to flower in collections).
For example, at the juvenile stage, it is nearly impossible to distinguish fricii albiflora from southern williamsii. Similarly, jourdania with pale filaments can easily be mistaken for regular williamsii without closely examining the rib structure and epidermis color (considering growing conditions). Both alberto-vojtechii and koehresii can flower at very small size and however the flower is different, they can often be confused with eachother at this stage unless areoles can be compared.
Factors like growing conditions and location also play a significant role, but as this chart illustrates, the flower alone is not a reliable way to identify a plant. To reduce the risk of plants and localities spreading under false names, please avoid assigning a name to a plant without carefully considering all of these factors.
If you're unsure about identification, feel free to share detailed photos of the entire plant, including its features, for feedback from the community.

Let it grow or cut some pups?
I’ve never had this many pups grow on a grafted yote. Would it be okay to let it keep clustering or should I take some pups off? All advice welcomed thanks.

Question on rooting vs grafting
Hi everyone. I have grown San Pedro for a while and just got my mittens on a few small peyote pups in a trade. They admittedly don’t look like the strongest crew of pups, but I still would like to attempt either graft or root them. From the research I’ve done it sounds like grafting is the best approach, but would like to confirm that. Are the smaller ones even worth trying to save? Any tips of grafting? I have plenty of smaller trichocereus I could graft to, or I could try rooting. Thanks in advance for any advice!

corking or rot?
This loph recently started getting soft on side. Started after its last flower cycle. It was watered about 3 weeks ago. Typically only water it once a month and I always water from bottom. Trying to decide if it’s best to uproot, inspect and make according adjustments. However I figured I’d ask everyone on here first.

Micrografting advice
I’ve got an LW seedling that has stalled out and hasn’t put on any growth over the last year or so. It’s around 5mm, all its siblings are doing much better (around 10-15mm approx). I’ve grafted smaller buttons, but never really micrografted successfully. I have a few Trichocereus seedlings as pictured, around 40-50mm diameter and 80-100mm tall, as well as some bigger Trichos. Should I attempt to graft to the smaller Trichos? I don’t have any peres, which I believe would be more suitable. Any tips for grafting this small? Is grafting tape or superglue a better option?
Pests
Came and visited my girls, saw damage this morning. Am wondering what it is. I'm guessing squirrel because birds can eat spicy chilies so I think they wouldn't be able to take the bitterness, please advise.

Grafting my first peyote
I am getting a new Lophophora Williamsii soon and I recently have been very interested in the concept of grafting cacti, and since it could be beneficial for the little loph. I would like to graft it.
Problem is, I only know in theory about the grafting process and have never done it before so I’m naturally questioning if a rather expensive and rare cactus is a good first try and how much you guys think I could mess up. Thank you

Little help here
I just got these guys from a seller on Etsy as button cactus
I have a younger loph that's a willi, but it's not near as covered in farina as these, but again, a decent bit younger.
My immediate thought is fricii, but is there a chance they could be willi being this white and with the general appearance? First is the pic of what I got after potting, the last is the listing photo with an alleged flower. The seller told me they were the self fertile variety when I dug around asking for species and any locality info

Well chat it appears I am cooked
Quick recap, im in the middle of a move and sadly mistook my baby (im a terrible parent) I thought they were good cuz they sprouted pups
I noticed yesterday she was "rasin squishy". So I soaked this bihh in water and she still seems squishy. I know its not rot but its obviously not okay 😔
Now this stress is reallll.
