Re: Is this discolouration caused by a fungus?

Is it just on one side or on both?

If it’s just on one side it could be scorch. If it’s all over I’d say red spider mite was a possibility.

Re: A friend calls this the spikey cucumber

Very nice.

I’ve got a few echinocereus in bud at the moment- looking forward to seeing the flowers!

Re: First Pterocactus of the year

Thanks Ray, really appreciated.

I’ve got a couple of megliolii plants that I think have collection numbers but I pretty much cut them back to ground level last year. More than happy to share cuttings when I have some.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year

Ray, Ralph (or anyone in fact) - I don’t have loads to trade but if you ever want to swap any bits of pteros I’d be more than happy to oblige. I’m looking for gonjianii and hickenii particularly but always happy to pick up something else I don’t have.

Re: Rebutia and Aylostera flowers

Thanks Ralph. This was bought from a nursery where I’ve had some questionably named plants in the past as well so more than happy to be corrected here.

Re: Rebutia and Aylostera flowers

I bought that from plantlifecactus on ebay. Might be worth getting in touch with Stuart to see if he has any more.

Rebutia euanthema
Rebutia euanthema
Rebutia/aylostera ‘sunset glow’
Rebutia/aylostera ‘sunset glow’
Dipping my toes into these plants recently. The euanthema is three plants in one pot so will be broken up at some point.

Just realised I can black out the background using my iphone- think I’ll use this a bit more in future.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year

Noticed buds on my valentinii for the first time today. The hard prune last year has obviously had the desired effect.
