Not quite sure what to make of this Opuntia?

Grew it from seed so it may be a hybrid?

It's getting rather top heavy

 

[Sheal]

Are you sure you've planted the last one the right way up @zigs ?

The bottom of this Parodia had rotted off so I cut it off with a sterile knife and coated it with Sulphur.

Left it for a week to harden off before potting it in coarse sand with compost underneath.

Just got to keep fingers crossed that it roots now

As I mentioned in one of my videos, here's a detail of transpiration on one of the Opuntias

Some flowers opening despite a slug attack on the petals

Put together a slide show for Opuntia identification.

The baby Echinopsis flowered for the first time

And the bigger one flowered again

It's gone all floppy now

Letting these cladodes rest for a week to form calluses before potting them up as cuttings

And a close up of the spination on the Echinocereus rigidissimus subs. rubispinus

One of the Rebutia cuttings is flowering
