Please Help Me Identify

Post by TinaBee »

Good day. I saw these following Cacti around our garden, they are a bit neglected. I don't know anything about plants... But I sort of want to take better care of these plants and I need help identifying them so I can do more proper research.

While not being able to identify your plants due to being new at seriously cultivating cacti, I can offer one bit about taking care of them.

Cactus die from overwatering and sitting in water. Your ceramic containers should have drain holes drilled in the bottoms if not already with them. It takes a masonry bit to drill through glazed ceramic or a diamond coated bit. A little water on the drill site will help reduced heat and fast wear on the drill bit.

Otherwise you have a lovely collection going!

best,
Steve

1-mammillaria elongata
2 echinopsis, perhaps echinopsis calochora
3-parodia scopa
4- Huernia schneideriana, now under whatever ceropegia species is placed in...

Neither of those 2 clump. The first kinda does, but not from upper areoles anyway. But echinopsis (core echinopsis do)

2nd is definitely not a notocactus, it's a echinopisis of some kind
