When it might flower depends on what species it is. And also on where you grow it. Cheiridopsis are very roughly winter growers but in many areas winter is too cold and dark for them to grow, so they either flower in autumn or spring or maybe not at all. I wouldn't expect flowers on your's until next "winter" at the earliest. They need almost no water in summer because they will be dormant, although they will probably still be plump and green. It is normal for the older leaves to die back in summer, generally leaving just one pair of leaves on each head. Eventually the plant will clump up so that you will get a mat of many heads.

Nice plants. Can't help with identification but I've repotted many cactus recently to a new growing medium. You will want to pot these in a fast draining mix. Many members here like to make there own gritty mix (you can search the forum, many threads) or you can amend a commercial bag of potting soil by amending it at least 50/50 or more with something such as pumice or perlite. Sand may also work as long as it's very course, not the type of sand used in sand boxes. If possible, use a potting soil without peat/low in peat as once it dries out it's nearly impossible to re-wet and ends up just repelling water. I would recommend avoiding top soil. You can pot these in ceramic just fine as long as there is a drainage hole in the bottom. Before potting, clean as much of the old substrate as you can from the roots and let the plant rest in a shady, dry spot for a few days to a week; this gives the roots time to heal after cleaning. Once potted wait a few more days before you water. You'll want to water your plants once the soil dries out during the growing season, typically spring through fall with most cactus. The timeline can vary depending on the plant's environment, pot and medium but about once a week seems typical for me. I check my plant's soil before watering by sticking a wooden skewer into the soil along the edge of the pot all the way down, if it comes out dry the plant is ready for water. Water thoroughly until water comes out the drainage hole and make sure all excess water is allowed to drain out the bottom of the pot. During dormancy, typically winter and sometimes the height of summer as well if it's really hot, these plants will need very little water if any at all as they won't be actively growing. A good rule is if in doubt about watering, don't. Good luck with your new plants!

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Can someone please help me identify what Family, Genus, and Species of cacti/succulents I have growing? I have uploaded pictures of each of my plants. If my plants have a nickname could you please give me that info also? Thanks

I would start off with morning sun:). At about 11am the plants should move into some shade. I'm not saying everyday at 11am go outside and move the plants into some shade, but put somewhere outside where the sun shines until about 11am or even till 12pm then the plants get shaded. The afternoon sun is usually what burns the plants. Unless you live on the equator and even then morning sun could burn plants;). Do this for a week or two. I have a feeling full morning sun will be enough for the echies, but that cactus can take all day sun. The two above get all day sun:). So after about about one or two weeks of morning sun move the plants into more sun. A spot where shade comes at like 1pm/2pm. Do that for a week. Then move to a spot where the shade comes at about 3pm. Do that for a week or so. If you get no burns at the 3pm mark, they're ready for the all day sun:). Does that make sense. It's kinda hard to explain. Your mix looks fine so your good there:).
