Recovering my cacti and succulents


IMG_20250813_181059.jpg

I bought one of these succulents a few months ago, and since then, I have been able to reproduce it several times. This was its initial size. I bought it in a warehouse that sells a variety of products for the home, garden, and other uses.

As you can see, this small plant is no more than 5 cm tall. It cost me $1 US. But the ones I reproduce cost $1 and are twice the original size. They also come in a more presentable pot than the one I bought the original in.

I think this succulent is a Pachyphytum, but I don't know its name. It is perfect for propagation. Small branches that are actually miniature plants continually sprout from its stem. I let them grow until they are the right size for propagation.

This is how I have been able to obtain many daughter plants, which in time will also become mother plants.

This little girl is infected with pests, I'm going to cure her.

I have had this other cactus since I was a child. It is Mammillaria spinosissima, or wife's seat. I have transplanted it several times into larger pots. I have also been able to reproduce it, because small offspring sprout from its long trunk.

I remove them when they are large enough to be transplanted. I have managed to obtain several plants and have also sold some.

As you can see, it has continued to grow very well. It is a slow grower. It is not one of those that produce many offspring at once. It has been able to reproduce two or three offspring each time.

This time, I transplanted it into a larger pot and removed its two offspring. They have been transplanted and both have taken root very well in their substrate.

I have had this other cactus since it was very small. It is a Pilosocereus, I think the gounellei, but I'm not quite sure. I can't remember if it was a gift or if I bought it. It has also been repotted several times. I don't know how long it will continue to grow. The only thing I do know is that it hasn't given me any of its offspring yet. I don't know how to reproduce it.

It has been repotted several times, but it grows slowly and is very pretty. Its yellow color shines in the sunlight. Once it was infected with yellowish scabby pests, but I was able to clean it well. Now it continues to grow in this pot, which will easily keep it alive for a few months.

That's it for my presentation of my most prized cacti.

The photos were taken with the Redmi Note9.

Your first plant looks some kind of Graptosedum, maybe 'Francesco Baldi'. That is a hybrid between Graptopetalum and Sedum. They are pretty.

I love really old mammillaria!

In the foreground is the cactus, which I believe is a Pilosocereus. The ones below are from two species of succulents.

Sorry, I meant the second picture. Pilosocereus is correct

Ah, that's good, I'm not wrong in my research, thank you. Pilosocereus.

Ok, I understand, the photo of the one I thought was a Pachyphytum, isn't it? It is then a Graptosedum. I'll do my visualizations, see what I find. Thank you, thank you, for the information.
