My little dude has been in this pot for about 2 years. He’s starting to get a bit wider at the top than the base and is about 7” tall right now. I think he’s due for a repot but I’m not sure (this is my only cactus, I mostly have tropical houseplants with only a few succulents). Is it time?

Current pot is 3” wide by 2” deep, candidate pot is 5” wide by 3.5” deep. Is this too big a step up?

Hey all, I received this Blue Torch a couple weeks ago. Please correct my ID if I'm wrong! The top is actually blue, but where it was in a clear cache is green. I acclimated and repotted it. When I watered, some of the substrate settled, and the base is slightly exposed. Will it thrive or should I dig it up and plant it deeper?

Good Morning,

I have a cactus, whose name is Onion. He has these little white fuzzy spots on him, and I’m wondering what the are. There looks to be even some brown ones as well. He’s a mammillaria elegans, and I’ve had him since January. I’ll throw in a couple pics, but I’d like to know about his overall health, and if he’s doing well. He has a little lean to him, which I think is due to him leaning towards the light? (I have a growth light for him, as I’m hesitant to put him outside due to weather.) And I also notice that he has little pink flowers that go in and out. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Happy to see how pink the blooms are on my new mammillaria bocasana 😍

Today is all about Echinocereus. The Gymno is beautiful too, but its flowers just can't seem to open.

J'ai que des petits cactus mais je suis fier d'eux 🥳
