I think that plant needs repotting Mike :lol: Beautiful plant, Ralph! Ray (or anyone!)- I’ve got a 2 foot tall oreocereus ritteri currently in a 3 inch pot that is worrying me slightly. Any pointers for successful repotting? I don’t grow many columnar cacti so this is completely out of my comfort z...

However, I picked up a couple of those plants last year (armatum and eytianum), which has got me a bit more interested. I’ve now got 10 or so, many of wh...

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.
