Can someone identify this cactus and succulent
Comments (8)I do not thik the Mamm above is M. parkinsonia. Here is mine for comparison. The needles are much shorter, the"tits" smaller , more numerous. Very closely set. Could that first one be M. nejapensis? Mamms are hard to ID. there are so many of them that look a lot alike....See MoreCan't Identify Cactus
Comments (4)Hello--it's some kind of Echinopsis. I'm not going to say the species because someone will come along and tell you the right one--I'd just be guessing. Do the flowers smell a little citrusy? It looks like it's happy to be blooming like crazy!...See MoreHelp identifying/care advice for CVS cactus and succulents
Comments (15)Hi Chelsea. If no-one else answers, create a new thread. I reckon that more people would be likely to check it out. Lovely looking plants :) Funny how it's so similar to this thread, even the plants lol. I could give only some advice but I think it would be better not to do anything with the plants until your ready with everything at hand from the suggestions from others here that know a lot more than me. First thing I'd do is to get some pots that have large drainage holes. You might be advised to get one a bit bigger for the bottom right one. You'll definitely be told/advised to get a pot for the one in the glass. Also the mix advised above is what probably most here use. Half cactus and Succulent potting mix and half perlite, but the Perlite needs to be sieved or rinsed first. Both can be bought at garden centres and places like that. I hope it all goes well for you and your lovely plants :)...See MoreTrouble identifying cactus - maybe a copiapoa?
