Re: Just repotted
How many years between repotting for the Aztekium Mike? Mine has been in the same pot for 20 years or more and grows steadily. I’ve always shied away from disturbing it. It looks a little older than yours, I got it about 40 years ago and it must have been 20+ then.

Re: Just repotted
Probably about 5 years between repotting.
That is an old one though. Picture?

Re: Just repotted
With your obregonia, do you find it quite thirsty ?, also they seem to go yellow/pale coloured if they aren't repotted often enough or is it just mine & bad parenting.
The Echinocactus texensis is beautiful, it's one i have tried growing a few times but have given up now, I can't even remember seeing any for sale in the last few years.
Any growing tips for it ?

Re: Just repotted
Benign neglect and a clay pot for texensis has worked so far.
Obegonia is on the same watering regime as Ariocarpus, Pelecyphora, Aztekium etc.

Re: Just repotted
First repot in 9 years. Hopefully it won't be the kiss of death.

Re: Just repotted
"el48tel" is shortly to change his "handle" to "puzzled in Leeds" --- so can anyone answer simply and concisely the question from this newbie?
I thought you left catci and succulents alone for the winter(apart from a few winter growers and a few oddballs which folk keep throwing into the discussion). To me that (=dormancy) means no water; minimal heat; etc
So how does "re-potting" in January (at least 60 days from the equinox) equate with dormancy? Answers please before 22h00 if possible because at that time I may just bin my entire collection and take up crochet.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.

Re: Just repotted
Simple answer, repotting doesn't affect dormancy. Oddly, I looked at cactus books on Amazon last night and there were three different books on crocheting cacti on the first two pages.
