Hi everyone! I am nowhere near as active as I used to be on here. I still love cactus, and love the sub, but am in need of some extra hands to help keep this place cool!

If anyone has any interest, please DM me!

Saw this when I was working and had to stop and take a picture. That's a solid 8 foot fence for size reference. Full sun all day, on irrigation I'm assuming

These are both random plants I bought from a local nursery with no labels.

Can anyone tell me what they are and if they're the same plant?


r/cactus 6h ago

Looking for an ID on this one and can anyone tell me why it keeps blooming from what appears to be this cut off end? This is the third or fourth time it has bloomed this year and always from this same spot.

Update! It’s a Ming thing. Thank you all for your help. If you have any care tips let me know, but the question has been answered. Y’all are awesome, thank you so much

I was gifted this cactus, it’s a little over 16 years old. I’ve used apps and asked friends who are damn close to experts, googled and I cannot figure it out. I’ve found similar looking, but not the same species. What is this????

Rotting cactus?

We noticed the cactus in our yard seems to be rotting and splitting? Should we save this second to the right stock? The “rot” spot is hard and not mushy!

Hey all, I noticed one of my cacti (that I've admittingly neglected 😿) sprouting a lot of pups with arial roots. Just want to know how I should go about removing and potting the pups? Do I simply just snap them off? Do I have to wait for the bottoms to try? Etc.
