Well here are the mixed C&S I started in March. For slow growing plants they change a lot in their first six months.

Seedlings after pricking out in June:

And today starting to look crowded:

Any IDs or advice again would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You have 7 Astrophytums in the mix, one of them is A. asterias (second from top right). There is one that appears to be an Oreocereus (second row from bottom, second from left). Two Agaves on the left column and maybe an Echinocactus grusonii on the bottom row left of middle. The one top row second from left may be a Ferocactus. The species ID will have to wait until they get older. Some of the rest appear to be Mammillarias.

I think there is no Oreocereus on the picture (Mammillaria bocasana?), and I agree to wait.
The Oreocereus seedling doesn't seems like an Oreocereus (no hair).

Seed! Thank you so much for the ID. It certainly looks like that is what it is. Each leaf is getting a bit flat, but at the base of each leaf a new plant seems to be forming on the stalk. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like as it grows through the season. Josh, the cabin is nice. When my daughter graduates in a couple of years, we're planning to move up there permanently.

Hiya folks, Here's an update on my baby Sans. coming off this rhizome. It's starting to show its height. Of the 3 pups that sprouted, one much taller than the rest. the leader of the pack I mist it sometimes & water it fairly often. I unpotted it today, roughed up the underside w/ a tiny rake & then soaked it in some water. Potted it up afterwards into some mix & a bit deeper pot. We'll see what happens.

I bought T5 fluorescent grow lights from a hydroponics store and hung them in a basement room with no windows. I keep my 'jungle tropicals' and my c&s in the same room, at room temperature with supplemental humidity (50%-ish). Everyone seems to get along in there, and then when the outside nighttime temps are staying 50F and above, they all go play in the back yard(they have to readjust to the sun every year by gradually bringing them out of the shade, otherwise leaves burn). ps, welcome back, and the supplemental lighting may lift your spirits also. ez
