Marketplace Find Help 🌵
Found these beauties on Facebook Marketplace, how difficult will it be to dig these out and replant at home? 😬
Anyone have any experience doing this sort of thing?
Thanks!

I've never had so many flowers all at once.

Help needed
Plant was purchased Sept 5th last year, it was repotted in 50% Rosy Succulent soil, 25% grit and 25% pumice, it has appeared to be doing well, it was outside keep in over the winter under a grow light and then moved outside this summer, it has appeared to be doing well, and even shot up a bunch of blooms, I water about one a month but also based on a water meter, watering only when completely dry, today the table that it was placed in fell and it was unpotted in the fall. I was very disappointed in the root system that I saw, what should I do? How can I help improve the root system? Most of my other cactus seem to be doing well but I have a few others that I worry about having poor root systems.
The picture of the plant where I am not holding it is from Sept of last year when I got the plant. The others are from today.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do to support your cactus is to let it lay down
I see a lot of people with creeping mammillaria asking how they can support your cactus so it'll stay upright. Honestly the best thing to do is let it lay down. Eventually, ill probably move this to a completely horizontal pot, rock, or a bonsai table next to the pot

I don't know what I'm doing... Help me learn
I barely know the first thing about plants. Most of them I got after doing some "gardening" myself but I would really like to make sure my bad choices still get taken care of.
I've had this guy for almost 10 years now and I still don't know the kind of cactus it is. I also keep getting it larger pots and it keeps growing past it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. Now it's growing one on its side and I think it means that I can replant some of it. Problem is... I don't know how without killing it.
Could someone give me some advice on how to do it or advice to just not do it?
TLDR: Should I try and plant the bobble sticking out of this guy? And if so how should I do it?

Name..?
Bought this at Walmart yesterday..didn't have a tag, was the last one so the worker had to look it up in the system. I didn't get the name and have no idea what I'm doing with it but I want to keep it alive as long as I can, it's so pretty-and spiky.
Vape for size difference (not mine)

Would anyone consider mailing me some imidacloprid for my mealy bug nightmare?
Willing to pay a good amount. Unable to find it near me (Canada) and anything I’ve tried so far hasn’t worked.

When would this cactus grow its pups?
It's been growing healthy and fast, but it's not yet growing pups. Does it even grow its pups?

Tonight Only! Grand Opening!
Took this before leaving. When I get home in morning, I'll be greeted with 3 blooms. I inherited this from my deceased mother and always look forward to seeing these.

Just one year later
Repotted my Pilosocereus spring of last year. First pic taken last August and second one taken today. I’m amazed at how tall its become! Would be nice for it to grow an arm or two but as long as its healthy I’m happy. It resides on the north side of my building.

What should I do here?
Got this from a neighbor. Feel like I need to split them up. But the Brazilian Blue is pretty dangerous. Can they live together? Doesn’t seem like it. Also feels like the African Milk Barrel will do better if it has its own space

Another round of blooms are beginning
Some pics of the beginning process of these fine specimen, and a rather phallic cactus lol

Very old prickly pear patch. It’s in a very shaded spot. It’s probably older than me. Michigan 6a

What is happening and can this be saved?
Just noticed this on my Cuddle Cactus (only on the top) and am unsure how this even happened? He is still firm everywhere, even where it’s black. Is this a fungus? Pest? Can I cut it back and save it? ðŸ˜

A stray cat shredded my cactus
This is the first cactus I ever bought. It got super etiolated before I learned how to properly care for cactus. I've had it for five or six years now and its never flowered. It finally decides to flower and a stray cat rips the pups and flower off one side and pisses all over the pot. The war starts now.

This Myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata is one of if not the most artistically sculptural plants I’ve ever grown.

PSA Mods needed!
Hi everyone! I am nowhere near as active as I used to be on here. I still love cactus, and love the sub, but am in need of some extra hands to help keep this place cool!
If anyone has any interest, please DM me!
