Help identifying this Unknown Crested Cactus

Post by Lolavy »

This is one of the first cacti I bought. It was a random / surprise selection made by the nursery, but they weren’t sure what type of cactus it was. Anyone know what it could be or have any good guesses?? TIA for the help identifying this cool, little guy!

Nice plant, congratters. Cleistocactus winteri?
Years ago I had one quite similar...

Sorry, Lolavy, I wasn't able to come to the forum for quite some time.
I got my C.winteri in summer 1999 from a dear friend. In 2016 we renovated our flat & had to cram loads of cacti into one single room "for a fortnight". There I couldn't take care or water as I wanted when the fortnight turned into a good month.
Quite some plants didn't survive it.... Well...

Hope you & your plant are well?
