Gymnocalycium quehlianum?

Post by Mrs.Green »

I think this could be G.quehlianum? Was in a hurry and didn’t noticed the ‘rusty’ spots on one side before I got home. Have seen similar spots on some other cacti but it doesn’t seem to spread. Should I be conserned? The spots are only one this ‘side’ , the rest looks normal.

Can be a G. baldianum as well.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Check with looking glass, mb red mites.
If no, some fungi infection, needs local care.
PS quehlianum indeed. :)

Thank you 7george and Anttisepp 😊 This was the only quehlianum in the shop and the first one I have seen IRL. I was pretty sure about the ID when I saw it and picked it up immidiatly. Quite nice flowers one some of the specimens I have seen on the net and I am hoping the weather next summer will be more Gymno ‘friendly’, so I can see some fully open flowers. I have studied it today with a looking glass but couldn’t see any mites.
