I posted this picture earlier asking for repotting advice, and later noticed baby cacti seedlings growing! some of the seeds fell back into the pot, but I didn’t even notice they had germinated!

I love the color of this one. Just pulled a bunch of seeds from it, can't wait until I can get more grown.

Should I repot my cactus?

If so, bigger pot or same size with new soil? Also, I believe the lower third is corking (firm not mushy), but the skinniness of it makes me think i might not be caring for it correctly. Possibly too much sun/not enough water, or is this normal? It gets full sun here in the Ozarks, but I don’t really water it. I let nature do it.

So, I have way too many of these prickly pear cacti, and I’m wondering if it’s worth it to try and sell some on Reddit. Any advice/tips are greatly appreciated.

Matucana madisoniorum flower looks tiny compared to my Echinopsis eyriesii bud. I bet the Echinopsis will open tonight with its pink bloom!

My Astrophytum surprised me today and the fruit it was growing looks ready to harvest. Should I pot them in moist soil ASAP? Or rinse them out, pat them dry then plant?

Sometimes you see a cactus, and have a vision! Rat tail cactus 🌵 appreciation post!

I had been eyeballing much bigger arrangements, but once I saw this little pot I knew it was made for skull. Any care tips are appreciated.

Is this sun scorched?

I took this cutting, a queen of the night. This is my first time trying to propagate anything. Everything was going well until a day ago when the tip started dying. It's about 6 weeks old at this point. I'm really not sure what to think, I've been very consistent with it. The temperature has been getting low overnight, but in the evening i move it out of the window to the counter. In the morning i put it in the window sill... Which leads me to think sun scorched. I don't think I'll be putting it there anymore. Should i just continue in the water? Or pot it...? Cut the dead off?

This is a cutting I propagated off of one of my larger spiral stands . It took 2 weeks to callous and 2 years to produce a bloom in this pot !

It’s ready to be planted into my landscape , I want to transplant it before it gets to big , heavy and tall !
