Here are some photos from 2015

One of my favorites
T. hoferi
They are hard to grow from seed, they start off as very small seedlings compared to the other species.
I grafted a couple onto pereskiopsis first, then larger stock.

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus
I grown many of these, some with purple flowers, some that are much slower or easy to kill
but this form has been a steady grower and seemingly hardy
the flowers are the bland color unfortunately.

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus v. inermis
I've never been able to keep one these on there own roots
I have several, I like this photo because of the flower cluster
One of my bigger ones has some new heads, I will try again to root one.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

If you include Rapicactus in Turbinicarpus there is a good article in the latest issue of the Free downloadable Essex Succulent Review:-

I bought seeds of several Turbinicarpus species, 10 seeds each and sowed in 2006.
All of them were very similar but I think the 1st photo is T. rioverdensis.

2nd phot is a Turbinicarpus hybrid, T. alonsoi x Strombocactus disciformis.

Beautiful plants!! I have some Turbinicarpus seedlings, but they seem to grow exceptionally slow for me (maybe lacking heat).
Growing mostly under LED lights, in northern latitudes. Especially interested in stem succulents and caudiciforms. Dreaming of my first greenhouse.

Here is my contribution. Turbis are slow growers for me too, even with all the heat we have here. But they bloom since very young.

How many species are you growing, and which ones (2 or 3) are your favorites?

Lets see valdezianus many , jauernigii many, pseudopectinatus maybe 10 ? harder to keep alive , lophophoroides 2 from seed, pseudomacrochele many, knuthianus 2 old ones, klinkerianus many, alonsoi two tiny seedlings bigger ones died, many mystery turb from seed from Aiko, saueri ssp. gonzalezii two I bought from miles, bonatzii 2 I traded for , another one I dont know maybe schmiedickeanus , andersonii 3 old ones, ysabelae a few from seed. Some are easier to grow than others at least the way I grow them . They are all rot prone :x

I found pseudopectinatus, ysabelae, knuthianus get orange rust on the stems if planted in my desert soil which has a higher than 7 PH more like 8+ , adding store bought ground up pieces of wood ( store bought soil sold in bags ) helped . If I add this to Ariocarpus they die . Echinocereus rigidimuss also likes organic wood pieces added but its not from the chihuahuan desert so kinda makes sense.

If I had to get rid of half my collection I would keep all the turbinicarpus :D

Hello Keith, that sounds impressive. Are they all winter bloomers?
Won't you add some pictures, too, please?
Thanks,
Nachtkrabb :-)
Love and Revolution!
...and still more cacti.

Winter bloomers yes I think almost all are . Pictures are somewhere on this website of many of them.

My T. dickisoniae, T. gracilis and T. flaviflorus are in bloom right now, and there are small buds forming on top of all T. pseudopectinatus (they usually bloom in February/March).
Many Turbinicarpus species, though, blossom regularly throughout the year multiple times.

Good looking. These are also some of my favorites. You never know when an occasional bloom will show up, but the typical season for most of them is late winter here.
