Re: Weird spots on Echinocactus grusonii

Thanks a lot. Didn't know about that possibility of fungal to have delayed effect.
I've read that Echinocactus grusonii could be kept in partial shade while young not to have sunburns. For now I keep it over there almost half a year and it grows pretty well, maybe spines slightly smaller.

My first thought - those were burns because it was staying on the direct sun and I moved it into the shadow, but then this year new spots appeared. They ar...

Thanks a lot for your help, I checked all sources you've sent. 1st image I still don't feel for sure which one is that Mammillaria haageana or Mammillaria woodsii.
