My modest collection

[abhikjha]

Beautiful succulents! Where do you get them from? Do you grow from seed?

Thanks a lot

Nope, I purchased them, all of it in India. We have a very thriving Facebook cactus buying and selling community. Extremely organized and active market.

I think you Pseudolithos caput viperae is need of a lot more light. The should be round, not elongated. I've had this one for a year and in the background you can see 6 more seedlings I just acquired.

Hi Mike,

You have Pseudolithos sphaericus or more commonly known as migiurtinus. It's round in shape and some variants gets columnar as well.

Pseudolithos caput viperae which is a rare variety has distinct snake head shape. Here are the pics from Google

My favourite though is cubiformis
