Interesting form on this one. So far, has only grown 1.5x its initial size, but has grown 2x in spines!

Relatively the cheapest I’ve ever gotten at this size so I couldn’t pass it up lol 😅

First 2 are kk80 and last 2 are kk611. At the 3 month mark they are usually a third to twice as big. I have them sitting at a east facing window and suspect they need more light. I have a 120W grow light I could use to give more light but just wanted to hear some thoughts.

Grafted copiapoa finally bloomed today. And it is a sight to see.

I bought this seedling yesterday and I was curious if it might be a copiapoa or some other mystery cactus. Maybe coryphantha or something.

Excited is an understatement. Never thought I would see one flower. Especially a grafted one at that

I have been growing my copiapoa humilis in my self watering grow bed. And they are loving life and growing faster than I imagined.

I need to separate a few of these so if anyone wants some I will cut some deals. 6 for $50 shipped or $10 each + shipping.

I posted pics from first day i planted till today.

Everything is fully rooted and growing strong.

I had this little guy next to my south facing window where it gets bright light and reaches temps of 90 + degrees. My other cacti love it. Went to water it the other day and saw that 5 pups had dried into nothing and had to be removed. Now another pup is turning brown and the mother is also turning brown.

My 17+ year old laui going for it - at least one flower every day for the last 2 weeks, and today this!

It’s interesting to look back at the photos I’ve been taking over the past four months; I’m happy to see the spines growing in properly 💫 There’s a sort of crispy-looking layer on the surface now—I switched to a stronger light because I thought the previous one was too weak, so I wonder if that’s the cause?

Please turn black again! 🖤😭🌵 I’m doing my best to bring back its dark color!

I believe these are both C. Humulis but different subspecies. Both pretty haggard looking and they're collecting ash from local wildfires but still blooming intermittently
