Just got back from a cactus rescue mission at a local garden centre. These poor little things were in the darkest corner of the store, bone dry in nasty peaty soil as usual. Can anyone please help. Only one had any id, Pilocereus, which I'm thinking is completely wrong. It has 4 ribs. I'm guessing there's a Parodia and a Gymno here?
Thanks

Re: Help needed please
The "Pilosocereus" looks like Stenocereus pruinosus
Re: Help needed please
+ Parodia, Notocactus and Wigginsia. Better to show with flowers, they're too young and not very specific.
Re: Help needed please
Agreed with mmcavall. The 1st one is Stenocereus pruinosus.
3rd looks like Parodia erinacea, but mine has less spines.
4th more like a barrel cactus/Ferocactus?

Re: Help needed please
Thanks for the guidance. I guess I'll need to wait for flowers but number 4 looking like it could be Wigginsia sellowii
