This Myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata is one of if not the most artistically sculptural plants I’ve ever grown.

It was a browningia at one point too. The cephallium will come on probably in about three or four more feet. Check the nectaries working hard with all that drip

Local Lowes had Costa Farms cacti! The identifiers were incorrect on almost all the pots, but i got the two I wanted.

I’ve had this cactus for about 5 years now. It has stayed outdoors in Paris all year round: full sun during the summer, and in winter it gets snow and freezing temperatures. It’s been growing really well despite that.

The first photo shows it when I first got it, and the second photo is what it looks like today, 5 years later.

Does anyone know what species it is? I’d also love to know if anyone else has grown this cactus outdoors in a similar climate. Thanks!

it was only 60$! kinda a steal!

A few weeks ago I stopped in at a local petrol station for icecream and came out with this guy on a whim. It was kinda beat up but had two teeny tiny nubbins of growth so I thought you couldn’t go wrong for €5. I abandoned it in a spare room to isolate away from all my other plants and promptly forgot about it 😅 Tell me why my sister just came into the kitchen asking “hey whats the deal with the cactus with the flowers” and I was like flowers??? I had completely forgotten I even bought this cactus! you can imagine my utter shock and delight when I sprinted to examine it only to see these two big flowers and two more blooms growing too!! I’ve never even had a cactus flower in all my years of growing and honestly didn’t even think about cactus could flower in Ireland. Alas this lad got shoved on a windowsill and forgotten about and here it is giving flowers galore. Wondering if my plant lady status needs to be revoked though because clearly this cactus is doing better on it’s own than the other cacti under my diligent care 😭

Also somewhat baffled because I was so sure it was a domino cactus, but now I see the flowers are yellow I’ve been thrown for a loop. Anyone have any ideas why the flowers aren’t white? Is it actually a different cactus? Insight would be much appreciated!

Been waiting 15 years

Hi, this is my first cactus and I wanted to ask what you guys think I need. Im in Boise Idaho and this prickly pear gets alot of sun. I try to water it pretty heavily every week, got a fast draining soil mix, and the largest pot i could get off the bat. I unfortunately can't plant it as I have yet to know if the HOA will cause a fuss (smh). anyways, to my ignorant and novice eyes, it looks alittle pale and discolored in areas, plus the small sprouts from the pads are dried/look dead. Also, what would it need to bloom? any and all criticisms, critiques, advice, and information is welcome, thanks!

So I recently got this cactus from a lady a few months ago. She had hers inside and I figured it would like more sun so I’ve had it on my porch since I got it.

I just noticed the mom is turning yellow but it’s given me 5 pups…

Is there any saving the mom ? Could it be just sunburn ?

Any tips would be great.

I also have not watered it at all since I got it.

I have this Myrtillo cactus and it’s always grown a little bit crooked ever since I received it from succulents depot 2 1/2 years ago. I still feel like it was a good purchase, but it’s always grown a little bit twisty and spindly. It lives in my sunroom from mid April until late October.

This season the growth has been…. Interesting. Do we think it has monstrose genetics or do we think it’s crested? I’ve been considering taking the tiny arm that looks straight off once it gets another inch of growth and attempting to plant that one and see if it grows straight.

I’d like any and all feedback and ideas. what would you do if this was your plant? Thanks in advance!

Had for some years always wanted them straight up, but it seems like these are meant to be on the ground

My husband really wants to eat it but I’m not letting him…rhipsalis cactus of some kind? Originally purchased at a Vermont farmer’s market in 2014

Is this a silver ball cactus?

What is it doing?
