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.
Location: East Asia
Ht.: Around 2-3 inches from base
-----
Height and width: Around 3 inches
-----
The biggest one is about an inch tall
-----
"Stems" around 3 inches long.
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Please Help Me Identify
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

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

The difference between knowing something and thinking something is having proof to back it up

Re: Please Help Me Identify
2nd is definitely not a notocactus, it's a echinopisis of some kind
