Hi, I need some help identifying these cacti/succulents. I already did some research but would like to know if I am right.
1. I think this is a Euphorbia Horrida, it has the same dark green color with the red-ish spikes and the dried flower tips.
2. I think this is a Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, it has the same vibrant green color with the white-ish spikes
3. I think this is either a Micranthocereus auri-azureus or a pilosocereus lanuginosus, I lean toward the pilosocereus given its a more common plant (and I bought it at a garden center).
Any help would be welcome, thanks!
Am I correct?

Regarding the second pot: these might be some Pachycereus tepamo or P. weberi. there is slight chance of mixed species pot as well. Anyway, plants are young and the exact species is not so important. At the time they will be mature you will know more about them.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

The first may be Euphorbia polygona.
The last looks like Cleistocactus strausii, IMHO. Spination can vary on young plants. New growth is getting etiolated, it needs more light.

For comparison, this was sold as P. pecten-aboriginum 7cm seedling. Now 34 cm. Vivid red spines on top when growing.Stijnvanhussen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 1:34 pm 2. I think this is a Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, it has the same vibrant green color with the white-ish spikes
