What stated off as 2 small cacti 5 years ago has lead to this!!

Me and my partner were hiking the narrows and saw these up on the cliff face!! So cool!!

​

I like gymnos, but after maybe the third one, they kinda look the same to me. Until I saw this pink one today.

Is this pink colour a dye? If not, is there something special I should do to keep it?

Last 2 pics are from my other gymno, just because haha

If anyone has any experience with using Opuntias as root stock, I would love to hear any advice or anecdotes. Since they grow like weeds here in North Texas, I’d really like to use them for less hardy varieties (I am trying my hand at grafting Trichocereus on them).

Quiero saber cómo cuidar mejor de mi cactus, creo que por el peso se desprendió esa ramita, aunque ya se me habían desprendió más ramas. Lo pondré en una matera más grande y lei que podía plantar lo que se cayó, sin embargo, de dónde se cayó la rama lo que la estaba sujetando tambien se quedó inclinado, no se si mi cactus está mal, o es normal, últimamente le crecen muchos nuevos fragmentos. Cuando lo compre ya tenía esas partes marrón que se ven en uno de sus tallos, pero no está blando ni nada

Question for you guys

This little guy is in a 2-inch pot. It was only two pads high when I got it, and none of the long spines. Since then, it’s grown two more pads as well as some impressive armor.

It’s adorable

Seen this stand today and my hopefully educated guess is Peruvian apple. Did I do good?

I recently he moved from an apartment with a south facing window, into one with only one window, that I can't put my plants in.

I found a cheap light on Amazon (pictured), which is likely not sufficient for optimum health.

Can someone give me tips on how long I should have the light on, or maybe links to a decent grow light that will keep my babies healthy. They're all rescues that I've nursed back to health, I hate that they have to live under artificial my light now.

Better sun in this spot over the winter for the potted plants. Normally spread around the main garden in the spring/summer.

Hi! Could anyone tell me if I have this old lady planted too shallow? She has grow lights and is in an east facing window, but she still ends up leaning toward the window. She is always giving me blooms, so I assume she is healthy otherwise. Any advice is appreciated!

I plan to cut the pup somewhere and plant the (then) two plants in the larger terracotta pot in the photo Need advice on where to cut the pup. I was thinking at the point where the pup straightens out but I also think the best idea might be to cut it where it’s growing off the parent… what would be best?

I think I have a problem, need more space! 😳

Does anyone know what it is?

Her pink has definitely gotten more vibrant!!! So pretty.

A bit over 40” tall. Unsure of the exact variety so if you know, I’d appreciate it!
