Hello 7george

you are right all my cacti are outside the house, whether they are small or large,
the cold is not strong enough to put them in, all the ones I have shown in flowering live outside the house
in full sun

Hello dinfelu,
I like those large, question mark-shaped central spines of the Mammillaria bombycina and of course also those pink flowers it produces.
The background of the first image is also interesting to me. It looks like there is a potted Calla Lily present and also another bulb-produced tall red-flowering plant. Based on the arrangement of the flowers I cannot tell what it is. Is that some kind of sub-tropical plant?

hello harald

the plant with red flowers is a native plant of Mexico ... Euphorbia pulcherrima ...
I have 4 of them I like a lot, if I remember correctly in your country it is called poinsettia

the other plant is one of my favorites, along with the heliconias, it is a tropical plant ....

strelitzia ....


I take the photo in that place because at that time there is more light there .... how are your ariocarpus?

Looking at that photo, I thought "Those red flowers look almost like Poinsettia - but it can't be, it has no leaves!" How does that work?

The spines on that M. bombycina are amazing, they don't get that kind of spine development here. I guess that's the difference between the weak northern sun and the sun in Mexico.

Hi Spence

It seems to me that this one that does not show leaves is a wild form of plant and grows a lot maybe more than 4 meters

It is placed where it receives several hours of sunlight
There are others that grow in nurseries, they are small and almost disposable because after Christmas many of them die

By the way, in many houses in the city there are large poinsetas and it is quite a spectacle to see how they appear from the walls

Another very interesting thing is the white pink yellow orange colors

As the days became shorter, those that are wild began their red coloration, those that I have as a nurseryman still do not and do not grow so much

Your comment about the sun reminds me of a friend who lives in Boston and she told me in Mexico in the winter you can go out and sunbathe in the garden and it warms you here in Boston you go out and it's the same inside the house as outside… .it doesn't heat the same cold inside as outside

Hello dinfelu,
I had noticed your Mammillaria hernandezii plant with a big flower bud, ready to open on your post from November 14th. Did that tiny cactus flower once more or is that another plant?
I do love M. hernandezii and purchased a plant twice, only to have it die after the winter months. Perhaps it would have survived in a pot or the temperature here is too low. I also lost a seedling of two other midget Mammillaria (M. baumii and M. gracilis) a couple of years ago. I also had planted them in the ground. After that I decided to try to raise small, slow-growing cacti in pots and have done somewhat better, although still not near perfect. A few weeks ago, one of my pots received a visit from a curve-billed thrasher. That bird decided to ascend into one of my pots and pulled out all three of my Turbinicarpus valdezianus seedlings, plus another species of Turbinicarpus. All of these plants had just been purchased this spring.
I only hope, that I did not lose them. The pot is now in a different location and the space around the cacti and partially also above them is covered with stem segments of my Cylindropuntia (cholla) plants. Thus far the destructive bird has not shown up to try his evil deed again. :D

Hi harald

This is the second flower, the first one opened but I was not lucky enough to find the open flower
I am trying with small mammillaries, I have few large cacti, especially columnar ones, maybe 6.
I just saw your temperatures and if for me they are very low, our lows at sunrise are 7-8 degrees Celsius and we reach 21-23 at noon

I have also had losses due to bird attacks, one of the ones that hurt me the most to lose was a 2-year-old black obregonia ... very small like 5 centimeters and a 2-year-old lophophora williamsii I have them all in pots, now these little ones are rodeo with ferocactus so that the bird thinks twice.

Look inadvertently I have made the same decision as you ... protect them with bigger and better armed cacti
