Help me ID my cacti collection please!!! * 1
    #21998292 - 07/26/15 02:30 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi, I've only just started getting into starting my cacti collection and I just realised I actually don't confidently know the names of any of them. I've been looking them up online but I was hoping you guys could help me out.


All these cuttings are from the same old cactus and I still have more to pot. The stump is in the ground with a pup attached. The big cuttings in the middle are 80cm-90cm tall and 12cm-14cm thick. I think it is a trichocereus pachanoi but I'm not sure.


The big guy is a Cereus? I don't know what kind of Cereus though. The skinny one was given as a Candelbra Cactus but I don't know the proper scientific name.


I think it's mammillaria? Need help.


These spines stick and hurt. No idea what this cactus is though.


Obviously a graft with I think it's jusbertii stock, but can't identify the scion. It came free with another cactus.


Cereus but not sure what kind.


Candelebra Cactus? Need science name.


Some more cacti, these are medium sized and not so thick, like 4cm-7cm thick.


Two different trichs but I think pachanoi. Confirm please.


I was told it's a blue torch, I couldn't work out what it's scientific name was. It actually was a blueish colour before, but sort of wiped off like a powder coating when i handled it during a repotting today. So its more green now.

If you guys could help with some IDs it would be much appreciated.

Your candelabra is not a cactus, it's an Euphorbia. Don't know what species, though.
Your Cereus is, well, a Cereus. :laugh: It seems ready to be put to the ground and become a tree.
It is, indeed, a Mammillaria. Probably M. haageana or M. albilanata, they're not easy to tell apart (and, besides, they hybridize easily).
Your graft is a Gymnocalycium mihanovicii on Hylocereus sp.
Your blue torch is a Myrtilocactus geometrizans.
The hurtful spiny one is Austrocylindropuntia tunicata.

Wow great thanks! Now I can get to labelling :smile:

But what about the two smaller trichocereus and the big pile of fat trichocereus cuts from one big outdoor beast?

Also, how can I keep the cereus potted? I dont have space in the ground for him. Will he suffer/have trouble in the pot? I only just repotted him, he was massively root bound in a pot half this size when I got him. I took him out and patted the root ball for ages until it loosened up a bit and then I repotted him in a relatively looser soil mix.

Agreed. Definitely have a phenotype more on the scopulicola side of things than one normally sees, and many of the main group look like pure scopulicola.

It will need progressively larger pots as it grows. Or you can leave it as it is and it will grow a little more until it gets stunned by the cramped quarters. There are no miracles. Just make sure you water and fertilize it often and intensely, because all that aerial tissue relies solely on the volume of soil in the pot to get its support from.
