This #echinopsis Lime Green pup Athena is plump and strong, she is growing slowly but surely. She was very undersized when planted. She is my very first propagation project. My pride and joy. πŸ€—πŸ’šπŸŒ΅

She looks so much bigger!!
She was 14 mm at the beginning, now she is 16.5 mm. It's a big progress for an Echinopsis cactus. She's much more plump, and she grows in all directions. I'm very pleased, Annika @LittleSongbird
How are your tiny pups doing, a little Bunny Ears and the second one , the round one with long cottony spines?
@SvelteKingfern
Oh, she's a big girl now!! Go, Athena! πŸ₯°
My pups are all alive! Mg Rhinoceros cactus pup finally rooted. It took her a while, but it's worth it. My peanut cactus pup also rooted and has the best system out of all of them! I'm definitely seeing growth on her too. My thimble cactus looks like it's trying to flower, which is awesome and I hope it does. My bunny ears (Cinnamon Cactus) is doing good as well! I don't usually check on her progress because those are the worst spines I've ever touched...
That's a big progress of all of them. Good job Annika, especially at Winter time. πŸ‘ @LittleSongbird

Athena sends her kisses 😘
Looking good, Athena! What a cutie! So it seems like her growth is about 0.5 mm per month?
Looks this way @UltraKoreanfir . Damn, that's very fast growing. πŸ€—πŸ˜±
And she has grown this white felt on top. This says that she's ready for further growth.

Such small things make all the effort so much worthwhile.
She makes me happy, that little lime green gremlin. πŸ€— @LittleSongbird @UltraKoreanfir
She’s such a beautiful shade of green!
And I was trying hard for a couple of months to make her more dark green. I didn't know she was the Lime Green Echinopsis LOL @BabeVila
@SvelteKingfern oh btw, thank you SO MUCH for the pup separating instructions! Because of your precision and thoroughness, I successfully removed one pup from my aloe and one from my zebra plant! They healed for several days and today they were potted! The other 2 pups on my aloe, I decided to wait until they get a bit larger, and have more roots. But thanks so much, I really appreciate your help πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ»
You're welcome 😁. I'm very happy to hear that you successfully removed 2 pups. I'll be glad to hear further news about their progress. πŸ€—πŸ’šπŸŒ΅πŸͺ΄ @BabeVila
