Re: Can anybody identify this cactus and tell me if it has pest damage please?

Thank you for your reply, I found a pic of a hand written label for it and it said Opuntia Subinermis. I also found a post on Reddit and someone else had an identical looking, to me anyway, plant from the same nursery and it was labelled Cumulopuntia Dactylifera. I also just saw one through Google c...

Re: Video tour instead of Open Day

That’s the cleanest looking greenhouse I’ve ever seen! Maybe I do want one after all..

Can I ask how you deal with pests please? I always wondered how people cope with so many plants

Re: Tephrocactus Geometricus advice

Thank you Ralph, Tony and AnTTun. Really appreciate the advice and pictures, there are some plants that get worried about more than others and this is one of them for me.

Can anybody identify this cactus and tell me if it has pest damage please?

Hi

I’d really appreciate some help with this one please. I’m a bit concerned it might have red spider mite damage or something else wrong with it. I also don’t know what type it is as it wasn’t labelled in the nursery

Re: Tephrocactus Geometricus advice

You were right, it is a new ball.

I’m still concerned that the main plant is deflating, is there anything I should do?

I last watered it 8 days ago and it was pretty shrivelled then too.

Also, is there a way to post portrait pictures here without them auto rotating?

Many thanks

Paul

Tephrocactus Geometricus advice

Hi all,

Just wondered if you could confirm if this was a flower growing and also to ask you for any advice keeping this type of cactus indoors. Are there any things I should watch out for?

Kind regards

Paul
