Neolloydia conoidea seedling?
I bought the seeds as Neolloydia conoidea but there is no central spines? Do they grow later or these seedlings are different species?

Don't look right. Compare these which grew up to be good little Neolloydias.

Re: Neolloydia conoidea seedling?
the first photo is maybe looking a little bit Turb krainzianus, but having said that I think it could easily be N.conoidea. Iann's photo shows seedlings nothing like any that I have grown of N.conoidea.
which just serves to remind us that this is a widespread species some variation across that range, hence the number of synonyms.
I have grown seedlings which didn't develop a central spine for two to three years - the type with a single dark central, and Iann's have already developed centrals in much less time.
The best thing you can do is grow them on and see.....

Neolloydia conoidea is very variable in habitat. It could perfectly well be that species. I'm sure you'll know for sure soon enough.

While i was searching some photos, i ve found this web site. Different individuals in habitat.
