An Echinopsis, a possible Pilosocereus, and maybe an Eriosyce?
An Echinopsis, a possible Pilosocereus, and maybe an Eriosyce?
I got this three days ago:
I thought this might be Pilosocereus gounellei , but I'm less and less confident it is:
I did have the name of this, but the name rubbed off the takeaway container the seedling was in. I think it's an Eriosyce:

I think the last one is a Gymnocalycium

I guess it does look a bit like one, but this seedling is from my first batch of seedlings, and I'm pretty sure there was no Gymnocalyciums there.
Edit: Also the purple isn't blush. It has been that colour even under grow lights.

Echinopsis terscheckii ?
Second one looks like some Espostoa or Oreocereus...

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

As for the purple one, stray seeds have a way of getting around. I planted some Echinocereus pulchellus var. amoenus seed from a generally reliable vendor, and one of the seedlings appears to be a Lobivia (and it's a much faster grower). Don't assume that it has to be something you intended to plant.

I had four seedlings like it. Only two left and the other is slightly smaller.greenknight wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 5:01 am As for the purple one, stray seeds have a way of getting around.

I didn't think E terscheckii flowered when that small given how big they get.

Definitely not a Pilosocereus gounellei

Just a suggestion: flowers match and sometimes cuttings can bring flowers quite early.I didn't think E terscheckii flowered when that small given how big they get.
Regarding the 3rd cactus for ID, I also thing this can be some Gymnocalycium, like G. spegazzinii, many others are purple at direct sun. Do you have a suggestion of Eriosyce with depressed spines like those above?

It's not sun blush. It has always been that colour, even when they started under grow lights.7george wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 2:05 pmJust a suggestion: flowers match and sometimes cuttings can bring flowers quite early.I didn't think E terscheckii flowered when that small given how big they get.

I have a Gymnocalycium striglianum which is smaller than yours but the color has always had this dark purplish appearance. A possibility for yours?
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!

Certainly seems possible.fanaticactus wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 3:51 amI have a Gymnocalycium striglianum which is smaller than yours but the color has always had this dark purplish appearance. A possibility for yours?
