Who am I?

Hi guys, I've bought this tiny one 2 weeks ago and don't have even slightest idea where to start searching. Maybe you know at least some family it belongs to?

Re: Cactus rotting in the middle

I use regular substance for cacti from the shop (ph 6.0-7.0, mostly torf, small amount of send, small amount of perlit) as 0.5 + 0.3 sand + 0.2 crashed stones. To be honest it's the best of what I can found at local shops :(

Turning cactus around

Hi guys, I'm a bit new to the whole process. I've recently read that during winter cactus can't be turned.
