I made a mistake on the previous post.
I should say, please compare to the photo posted 25 November last year.

Nothing beats a good "before and after" photo:
Wonderful turn-around, Frank!

Re: Ariocarpus stopped growing
It had an interesting color when it was half dead... but it looks a lot healthier now, obviously likes the change in the medium.
It was really shrunken in the first photo, you can see that much better in the side-by-side than you could viewing the pics separately..

Ah, yes -- and so easy to do in Photoshop! Problems have a bad habit of sneaking up on us slowly, and side-by-side shots can be a good diagnostic tool in that regard.greenknight wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 7:54 amIt was really shrunken in the first photo, you can see that much better in the side-by-side than you could viewing the pics separately..

If you don't want to pay for Photoshop, you can use The GIMP - it's free, cross-platform, and just about as easy to use: http://www.gimp.org/

G'morning Steve,
Thank you very much for your assistance. A side by side photo is a good method for the comparison.
I did not describe but I used a fertilizer which was for cactus & succulent avilable in here.
I spread the fertilizer over top-dressing two weeks after repotting.
