I wonder if my Pterocactus araucanus will ever flower...

I cannot remember if mine has Mike, pretty sure it has not.

Some great photos here! I bought a mature p.tuberosus from ebay a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the plant arrived broken at what would be ground level.

The 'top half' flowered that year but hasn't since.

The 'bottom half' has since regrown 8-10 shoots 1-2 inches long but now appears to be struggling a bit unfortunately!

I feel there are some clones that don’t flower…. I’ve got a tuberosus that’s over 30 years old and it’s never flowered. I’ve tried pruning, leaving long, early water etc. No joy. It grows along side kuntzei plants that bloom every year…. I don’t get it.

Thats quite common in plants Cindermanrolls, roses, apple trees or whatever some flower well and others just sulk (a bit like people )

Mine did nothing this year. Shame on them...

Here's P. megliollii in flower today.

Nice! I have one in bud, but it will need a few more days.

I like the stumpy segments on that one too, Ralph.
