Please help identify my two rescue Cacti :)
Comments (2)The one on the left appears to be a Mammillaria, but not prolifera. Maybe M. rhodantha pringlei? The one on the right might be a Pilosocereus, but it is hard to say what kind until it is larger. P. baumii is not a recognized name, although Altman Growers sells plants under that name which end up in most of the big-box nurseries.

It would help if your 'soil' looked like this: That is a very simple mix of sifted/rinsed perlite and soil, in 1:1 ratio. Only perlite is needed and it is available in many stores. It would drain much better, and you could water the plant when needed - not when it is shrivelling from thirst. Or, you can use any or all of the other ingredients gardengal listed. White mushy stuff below the soil could have been mold that started growing from too much moisture - I didn't realize that it was below surface. But there are bugs also that live in the soil. Usually, they move....See MoreMary Daisy Dinkle
