Neoporteria gerocephala strange growth

Question from a novice..
Could this growth be the result of spider mite damage or some other cause?
Thank you

Re: Echinocereus subinermis wrinkled

Thank you for your help. The white bits are perlite. When you say to treat it as a cutting, should I leave it out of the pot, or keep it potted but dry till next year?

Echinocereus subinermis wrinkled

I’m worried about this cactus. Should I remove the plant from its pot to check the roots? It looks thirsty, but watering doesn’t remove the wrinkles! Is wrinkling normal for these plants maybe? Maybe it would prefer a plastic pot? 1897312A-BBE4-470F-B20D-4051A3C1664B.jpeg 7F7E46BD-733C-4A62-8D81-6C3...

Re: Echinopsis subdenudata brown marks

Thank you for your help. I have sprayed it with SB plant invigorator as suggested, and also noticed one or two other suspect cacti which I have sprayed. I guess the marking is permanent..... I might spray all my plants just in case....

Echinopsis subdenudata brown marks

Hi, Can anyone please inform me what is causing the pale brown patches on this Echinopsis subdenudata that had been perfectly happy (or seemed to be) in the same location over the last 12 months. The marks appeared first at the top of the plant and in the last week or so have rapidly spread.☹️ 7DAD1...
