Cacti and Succulents

Evening guysWe have been gifted the below plants and not having had a lot of experience with cacti & succulents I wanted to give them the best chance of survival.The pots all have gritted cacti soil, all the pots have drainage holes.The pot with the 3 plants, we have sitting in a West...

Flowering cacti in my polytunnel :-Weingartia neocumingii :-Parodia ottonis :-Gymnocalycium baldianum :-Mammillaria bocasana :-

Actually I don't find it east to propagate from cuttings, they just don't seem to 'take' , I must be doing something wrong.

I've seen your photos on that thread @KFF

I think you have three different cacti in the same pot there. Possibly four. I'd be inclined to put them in separate pots in some new compost. You can cut off any obviously dead parts,but only one appears to have been badly affected.

Thanks for your response it's on by the kitchen window and it's South facing so we have sunlight all day. I though maybe It may need a bigger pot? I get more and more flowers each year and I think it will definatly become damaged if I try to straighten it. Glad it seems happy

OK cheers will try that tomorrow

Thank you i will do it tomorrow

Thank you Yes the taller one is an aloe and when I bought the smaller one the label said it was a Gasteria Okavango. I have moved them to a shadier area of the room, and the aloe seems to be going greener already but the smaller one has no change yet. I watered them a couple of days ago so I...

I water when i remeber really same as my two cactus on the windowsill. What feed shall i use never fed it.

Rebutia? if so, not very Arizonian

Thank you @Selleri , I have several different types of these and many of them flower. Yes they do resemble snowdrops

Well not quite the next day but here are pics of seed grown echiveria sown 10 months earlier. Half size seed traysEdit : He lied. Top ones are full sized seed trays

Oh that's good to know. Thank you both v much. I'll put some on perlite or grit and bring it inside and spray then.

Google. cactus rot caused by washing up liquid. Lots of info.

I wouldn't even like to try and guess on that one, it looks pretty young and cacti alter a fair amount as they mature.

It certainly does look like leaf miner I think... There is no real control for them at this time of year.. I would remove the worst affected leaves and then you could try a spray of Neem oil to catch the adults before they lay eggs.. Since the damage is mostly cosmetic, the remedy is to...

Thank you both … with your help I have now been able to identify the plants. First one is Aloe striata Second one is a Kalanchoe hybrid called 'Elk Antlers'
