Does anybody know what type of cactus is this and i got and aloe vera and that cactus today. #CactusClique #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
Hi @Ingardening89 I’m no good with either cactus or aloe πŸ†” but I can add a few tags for people who most likely can πŸ†” for you. They’re both really nice πŸ‘. Also if you add hashtags to your post it helps get more people noticing it. Like #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #AloeVera #Cactus #HappyPlants #SucculentLove
Oh okay πŸ‘
@MariansOasis @Ingardening89 Sorry I am no good with cacti either. I would guess a golden barrel cactus πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But does it not give you the πŸ†” here where I’ve circled?
Welp atleast the aloe is understandable
@Ingardening89 I’m fairly new to cacti, so I don’t know.
Well only @planthoe40 would know
@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
The new plants
@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 πŸ””
@Ingardening89 sooo cool 😎 congrats!!!!
@DreamMachine it said notocactus leninghausii
Also this is a machine falls and its wild there
@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. β€œNotocactus” is outdated and not used anymore. @MariansOasis

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
