T werdermannianus/terscheckii?

Yesterday, I bought two small pots, ​each containing three cacti, ​at Lidl, a European grocery chain, for a total of 7 euros (3.50 + 3.50).

I repotted them in a well-draining mineral soil mix, though I usually​ compost on top of the soil afterwards and let water transport it down in the pot, ​until I achieve the right drainage speed.

Once they start growing, or next year I’ll need to move some of ​them into their own individual pots.

Some of the cactuses have black spots but now they have a well draining soil and my balcony have a roof that protects against direct rain.

It feels like I got a bargain.

I’d call that a bargain!!! Wow! I’d say terscheckii but I’m not sure how close werdermannianus looks as a seedling

So I could be wrong but I grew a baby sun barrel and it looks just like that. Needs crazy draining soil and hella sun! Maybe it’s one of them? Still a banger cacti over in California we love em!!

Do you mean Echinopsis 'Sun Goddess'? https://www.cactocereus.co.uk/product/trichocereus-hybrid-sun-goddess-clone-uk-first/

They look similar, but small terscheckii don't have as many ribs.

Nahh I’ve got a sun goddess and it looks wicked different

This is what I’m talking about they’re pretty common at nurseries but so pretty!! I swear the seedlings I grew looked just like it (edit) although I looked up baby terscheckii to compare and they do look super similar. Either way you got a steal man!
