Re: Gymnocalycium identification

Looks like Gymnocalycium quehlianum. But I think it is better to wait blooming and check with flowers.

Thank you :)

It is 16°С outside. So, I think that growing season is ending :(
A few cacti (two S.mirabilis and one T.swobodae) have buds and looks like they will not grow to flowers. :(

Re: A Blooming Thread

Mammillaria was blooming last autumn-winter. But it is blooming in summer time this year for some reason.

Re: Field numbers explanation

I have one more question regarding field numbers and selection. Let imagine that someone has a few cacti with one number. Hi or she pollinate these and select subjects with some distinctive features, i.e. longest spines. Is it possible to get some cultivar with really long spines compare to initial ...

I agree with first ID and I'm not sure regarding second plant. But second plant looks not healthy.

Re: Cacti collection from Samara

The larger has already bloomed 4 times over the last 14 days. Wow! :o That is amazing! I thought that they bloom a few time per year. What about watering? Is such blooming require constantly watering? I learned about the "don't turn a light on" thing the first night when I turned on the p...
