I thought it might be interesting to show some fairly typical Turbinicarpus roots:

Thank you for the kind words Keith. Yes, I keep them bone dry during the resting period. They've received last water of the season at the end of September and won't get another before the end of April next year. Exception to the rule are several "winter hardy" species that will get first water at the beginning of March to simulate snow/ice thaw.
