This new segment on Tephrocactus articulatus will make it 10 in a row on the tallest stem.

Well done Iann, never got past 6 on any one stem.
Interesting to see both plants are in what could be termed small pots for the size of the plants, so maybe that is a clue to growing longer stems, ( never re pot them) they will only fall apart, and just how many of these plants does one need.
