Discovering my cacto's true name!

For a few months I've been helping people here to find the proper name for their plants, but I didn't think of finding the right info about my #cacti . Because of this I've been bending over backwards to make my cactus more green. The reason is it's #Echinopsis Calochlora Lime Green . IT IS LIME GREEN ! I found out yesterday. #cactusclique #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #happyplants #rareplants
2ft to light, direct
2โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
A pretty lime ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒต๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ
Thank you @MockingJay๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ‹
๐Ÿ˜ Well that makes sense!
I can see how that can easily happen.
What are her current measurements @SvelteKingfern?
All my plants were bombarded by the unexpected heavy rain on 23 Dec for 6 hours. I was away, I kept thinking about them, but I could do nothing. Einstein is very sick. Rain was siping inside through cracks and wounds. It lost the photosynthetising surface.
Other plants are recovering well. Athena is 16 mm after watering, and a bit less when it's thirsty.

I'm worried about Einstein. @UltraKoreanfir
@SvelteKingfern ๐Ÿ˜ฉ sorry. Hopefully he will recover.

Oh yeah, I remember you measured Athena just around Christmas.
It's not worse. He's drying up. He's weak, but he'll recover. @UltraKoreanfir
Einstein is ok now. I uncovered a bit the little guy. Should I propagate or wait till early Spring? (the mid Summer here). @UltraKoreanfir
@SvelteKingfern You could probably wait until it's a bit bigger since Einstein is doing well. So cute! This one should get a boy name. ๐Ÿคฃ
TY so much ๐Ÿ˜.
I found it's much easier to give advice to other people, but when your plants are not well, it's heartbreaking. ๐Ÿ˜”.
Will you be a godmother to the new guy? Any advice about what he's name to be ? ๐Ÿค— @UltraKoreanfir
@SvelteKingfern. Well, you could find a name in the Einstein family.

Albert Einstein's tree:

Father: Hermann
Son: Hans Albert
Son: Eduardo (nickname "Tete")

Uncle (Father's brother): Rudolph

Grandfather (paternal): Abraham

Grand Uncle (Brother of his Grandfather): Raphael (this would be cute if he also ended up in a turtle pot because one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was named Raphael).

Or, you could pick something that goes with Athena. I actually found online where someone had thought through the exact question of what boy names go with the name Athena ๐Ÿคฃ. See the screenshot.
You did a thorough search. How thoughtful of you @UltraKoreanfir Thank you ๐Ÿ’š. I like the name Eduardo. And the pup is the son of Einstein after all. We'll be celebrating the propagation of Eduardo next Spring. ๐Ÿ˜
๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒต You're welcome ๐Ÿค— I look forward to watching my little Godson Eduardo grow!
