Hello all, hoping someone can help me identify what’s wrong, the flesh seems to be changing to a grey colour. Is it fungus or signs of a pest? What is the best course of action if it is?
Thanks in advance

Re: Thinking of getting a greenhouse or cold frame. Advice needed please
Yeah I’ve seen on reviews of greenhouses people complaining about plastic window mechanisms failing not long after buying.
Right then I need to keep an eye out for a second hand greenhouse slightly bigger than I need and double check the hardiness of my collection!
Thank you for all the advice

Re: Thinking of getting a greenhouse or cold frame. Advice needed please
That’s good to know that most are hardy and you’re right I don’t think many nights especially in row go below -5. I take it people heat them for seed growing? Not really a priority at the minute, I just need more space. Thats clever that the draws can slide making use of the space. I’m making note o...

Thinking of getting a greenhouse or cold frame. Advice needed please
My collection is quickly outstripping windowsill capacity and I think I need to get some more space outside. I was thinking that a cold frame might be a way to dip a toe in outside storage but also tempted to go for it and get a greenhouse. Any advice is welcome, I’m concerned about needing to heat ...

Gave them a good blast of clear ultra 2. A couple of days later this little fella popped up. Much bigger and not pale like the others I’ve seen

Is this scarring at the bottom of the schottii stem? Could this be cactus mite damage?

Can’t say I can see webbing, but I’ll try an have a closer look in the daylight tomorrow and angle them like you mentioned I guess this is all part of collecting nature, bugs want to get involved! I try quarantining new plants, any other tips fo...

Re: Help. Is this spider mites? Solved
Yeah I’m starting to think that it’s cactus mites rather than red spider mites from what you’ve all described. I’ve got a loupe on the way so I’ll try and visually identify them and then treat them accordingly. Hopefully I can at least control them and limit the damage. Anxious the other cacti have ...
