Offsets or seedings
Was looking at this ariocarpus retusus v. furfuraceus and saw what maybe seedling coming or offsets. Pictures aren't the best but give it a guess.
Re: Offsets or seedings
Those are definitely seedlings.

To me, perhaps a bit like hylocereus undatus.

Looks like a Mesemb seedling like others have said. A hylocereus seedling would have small spines at that size.

This is what mine look like. Maybe similar?CactusFanDan wrote:Looks like a Mesemb seedling like others have said. A hylocereus seedling would have small spines at that size.

Similar, but the Hylocereus also have two quite distinct and relatively large cotyledons (seed leaves). I can certainly see why you'd think it was a Hylocereus, though.

Re: Offsets or seedings
Do you have a Mestoklema in your collection?
Definitely not Ariocarpus seedlings.

Update on the mystery.
Re: Offsets or seedings
Could also be Delosperma napiforme.
Looks like Mestloklema when young but it is self fertile, matures fast and once it starts blooming and dropping seed it will attempt to take over the whole greenhouse.

Re: Offsets or seedings
I was just curious as to what is the conclusion? Since there is no flowers, they must be offsets? And lots of them too.cactushobbyman wrote:Was looking at this ariocarpus retusus v. furfuraceus and saw what maybe seedling coming or offsets.

Re: Offsets or seedings
Not sure what they are, but they already have flowers.

Re: Offsets or seedings
Those are seed capsules. Perhaps that explains why you have them popping up in random pots haha.
