Thanks, folks!
So March is here and winter is stepping aside little by little. Realizing that my pot count is over 200, I assumed that at least 50 of those should get a new soil this winter during their rest. My notebook list about pending soil change ( = cactus software prompt ?) is showing ~that number and most is done, some are left for summer days. Not doing this in time would bring my plants into stunted condition because of the salt accumulated in the old substrate.
Not much is happening among my plants this winter. Some
Mammillaria &
Turbinicarpus with sunny spots bloomed only.
M. sanchez-mejoradae: did several waves with more than 10 flowers, some are still opened.

M. carmenae, tiny plants, many buds also.
T. valdezianus: these flowers are long lasting, more than 10 days each - due to low temps I guess.

T. bonatzi, some days ago.
This Gymno (G. bruchii) opened the very first flower this spring. From a rooted offset.

Here is a nameless "Titanopsis", no flowers seen yet.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
