Can someone identify this ?

Would anyone be able to identify this cactus for me please? I saved it from a nursery where it was being watered every day this winter.

Re: Scarring on cactus

Thankyou so much, I wish I had asked sooner! Do I treat all my cactus with a miticide or just the affected ones?

Scarring on cactus

Can someone help me identify what the problem is here? I have bad scarring on about 7 cacti in my collection. I have been presuming that it was caused by an application of Confidor last year, even though I am very careful to spray when it's not hot. Now I'm wondering if it's something else. Differen...

Re: Mealy bug friendly?

Thanks IanS , interesting watching the marshmallow test. As I'm nearer the end than the beginning I have an uphill battle to discipline myself! So far Confidor is still available in Australia ,so I think the immediate soaking of new plants is sensible and as I have another glasshouse now I can quara...

Re: Mealy bug friendly?

I'm very interested in the mealy bug topic , and quarantine of plants. I have been having annual outbreaks of mealies over the last few years , usually in late summer and have treated with Confidor( imidacloprid )each time, as per instructions on the bottle which is three treatments two weeks apart....
