Need cactus ID, please
Comments (2)It's a Deamia testudo or Selenicereus or perhaps a Lepismium or some other genus - what I can say it is is a jungle cactus. You're growing it well. It's a great plant and while perhaps surpassed in beauty by a blooming Pilosocereus is, IMO, not ugly and has some of the largest cactus flowers seen ever....See MoreNeed cactus ID please

Comments (10)Okay! Thanks for your input. I just couldn't find one that looked close enough to this species so I just wanted to make sure. And actually this picture was after I cut off the bad parts.The stem was pretty much broken off so I just cut off the gross gooey parts. The rotted parts were turning black and have some white fuzz (mold?) on it. I was too grossed out to remember to take a picture xD Do you think it's too small to make it? My friend was about to throw it out and I wanted to try and save it :o...See MoreIDs please for Home Depot cactus rescues
Comments (4)Thanks! I think horstii is probably right for #1. I googled photos, and some of the plants looked to have less prominent spines, but some looked a lot like it. I've been looking at photos of Parodia, but haven't found one that looks like #2 yet, and so many Mammillarias to wade through :-) I'll just have to be patient and wait for flowers. That should help....See MoreNeed2SeeGreen 10 (SoCal)
