Re: Opuntia cylindrica cristata minor

The non cristate form is not frost hardy but ok down to 0 to 2 deg C when dry. If that's any help. I lost mine to frost. The cristate variety obviously don't grow very tall at all. Thank you Habanerocat :smile: I'll give mine some extra protection, it's with the rest of the Opuntias at the moment.

Re: New Cactus

Thanks everyone. I had a look down your list and I think it's a Pilosocereus menesianus.

Cheers to all :smile:

Re: New Cactus

Hi Everyone :smile: Saw this on the wrong shelf at the garden centre so just had to buy it :grin: DSC04535.JPG I think it might be an Oreocereus celsianus? Anyone else got any ideas?

Most of the plant identification requests on the Forum are for Dutch plants bought from garden centres and DIY stores etc. There's probably no more than about 50 different plants grown in large quantities in Holland. Somewhere, back in the distant past, there was a useful link on the Forum to a web...
