Mini Three head cacti.
Mini Three head cacti.

Re: Mini Three head cacti.
Maybe a monstrose seedling or possibly the growing point could have gone blind at an early stage and it has offset. You will have to wait and see if it continues to produce monstrose growths, or eventually just produces three normal heads. Interesting non the less and a good close up for that magnification and limited depth of field.

Interesting! I've noticed that a combination of a fine particle mix and a wet soil will lead to a large number of monstrose/crested/double headed seedlings. A more open mineral mix will lead to much stronger seedlings.
