Hi @Ingardening89 I’m no good with either cactus or aloe 🆔 but I can add a few tags for people who most likely can 🆔 for you. They’re both really nice 👍. Also if you add hashtags to your post it helps get more people noticing it. Like #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #AloeVera #Cactus #HappyPlants #SucculentLove
@MariansOasis @Ingardening89 Sorry I am no good with cacti either. I would guess a golden barrel cactus 🤷♀️ But does it not give you the 🆔 here where I’ve circled?
@Ingardening89 It looks like a Lemon Ball/Golden Ball cactus to me. You can tell by the yellowish spikes and ball shape of the cactus. They prefer terracotta pots and require at least 6 hours direct sunlight a day. It’s a good windowsill plant in an east or south facing window. They generally bloom once a year in summer producing a beautiful yellow daisy type flower on top. Water sparingly to avoid crown rot and use a gritty cactus soil. I’d transplant it in a 6 inch terracotta pot with drainage. I’m not sure if I saw it right but I think you also have a tiny baby growing in the soil unless that’s a rock so he careful not to disturb if it is a baby. Aloe looks pretty healthy too. Good job on some great finds. 😊
@DreamMachine @MariansOasis @RefinedSandwort @Shells_Garden i found these beautiful new plants today
@Ingardening89 what does it say where I circled? Also, you have to tag people by using their @ name if you want them to get your reply notification 🔔
@Ingardening89 well, there you have it. That’s its official botanical name. They are always in Latin, and they always have two names, like a first and last name. This is the Golden Ball Cactus, @Shells_Garden was spot on! Its updated botanical name is Parodia leninghausii. “Notocactus” is outdated and not used anymore. @MariansOasis
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
@DreamMachine @RefinedSandwort @MariansOasis @Shells_Garden i just really wanted to share about my guinea pigs even tho they are not a plant i just wanted to
@MariansOasis @DreamMachine they also make a a squeak sound when they see you or when they see hear a crinkling bag or when they are exited 🐹
@Shells_Garden yes, I assume it is a golden ball cactus.
And the aloe looks long and nice too! Make sure to take care of it!
Have a fun time raising your plants @Ingardening89!
Also, I LOVE those guinea pigs!! What are their names? I have so many questions!!

Aweee! I always loved guinea pigs. Sorry to ask another question, but do they bite? 😅 I have never touched/came close to one because I always thought they were fisety @Ingardening89
@Ingardening89 freaking adorable!! If you want to show them in the future, tag #PetsOfGreg and #PetsAndPlants. We all love our pets just as much as our plants. I have dogs now but my kids had hamsters and guinea pigs growing up. They are so fluffy and looks so sweet. Thank you for sharing.❤️🐹
@DreamMachine thanks Nadia!
