Need help with Cactus/Succulent ID's
Thanks in advance! I purchase way too many that had no tags or stickers but were a good deal so I grabbed them!
#1 That is a tiny 2" pot for reference:
And here is a aerial view:
#2 This looks like a Echinopsis chamaecereus but I'm not sure:
#3 The cutest little fuzzy cactus:
#4 These little babies are in 2" pots as well
#5 I think these are Sempervivum calcareum or something close to it
#6 How do you tell the difference between a Mistletoe Cactus and Drunken Bones?
#7
#8
#9 Peruvian Old Man/Lady or neither, haha! Think it needs to be more whispy for those:

1 cactus, 3 succulents, 1 weed needs ID!
Comments (9)Thanks for the quick responses. Ill definitely be pulling up the weed. @zach I remember someone mentioning when I first asked about it, something about "hahnii", and I was able to locate a picture of it and it was a perfect match to the ones I have. Is that going to be similar to Dwarf Sanseveria?...See MoreCactus & succulent need an ID
Comments (4)The column is most likely a Trichocereus but I don't know which species. Here is a link that might be useful: Columnar Cactus...See MoreAre my cactus and succulents in trouble? (+ help ID)
Comments (13)Hey Erica and LilBit7765, thanks for your replies! I cringed upon reading "severe etiolation" and "rotting". Gosh! All along I thought my plants were healthy because they were growing! I guess I kinda assumed that growth in height, such as with us humans, is a good sign. Oops... As for the soil mix they're in, I stuck my finger in and it felt like just...soil? Compact soil? I'm not really sure. Obviously I still need to, umm, educate myself. I'm really a newbie on these things. So I'm gonna pull them out as advised and check for rotting. I have some follow up questions if you don't mind: 1) Would it be alright to pull them out now, while I look for ingredients for Al's gritty mix? 2) Are coconut husk cubes advisable for c/s? (just happen to have those around) 3) I noticed some pots have either one big drainage hole at the center, while others, some smaller distributed holes. Which is better?...See MoreSucculent/cactus ID help please!
Comments (7)Sarah The offsets could be removed and potted separately (they look large enough) - let them callus a bit (is that what you were referring to as give it a little bit of time ?). But as Brad said, new well-draining mix would be much better. Don't over-water the offsets - while they don't have roots, they can take the water and the stems may start rotting. Second plant is very nice... Rina...See MoreJan Nash

4. Mammillaria spinosissima susp. pilcayensis. Mine are blooming now:).
6. I’m thinking Rhipsalis cereuscula;). Drunken bones is Hatiora salicornioides. Yours has some similarities to that one, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Rhipsalis.
7. Those could be many cactus. Check out Pilocereus chrysostele. Many Cleistocactus look like that too;).
