Oh how cute! TINY gems, for sure! Now I have to go look at my Frailea, as Master of Cactus, friend, Jordi says they can make seed without blooming! I had 2 buds that never bloomed! Whee!

Thanks for showing all these pix of yours! I appreciate it!!

Yes they do indeed produce fruit and set seed without the flowers opening, rosemariero.

They look like sea urchins for the desert. Wow!

Thanks, JP!

Yes, they DO look like sea urchins, Tiffany!

Very nice! I can never get the flower to fully open.

Hello, I hope that you can help!

So you see I just got this beautiful new cactus.

And in reproducing, pieces of the cacti break off.

So how do you water it, Sapphire (yes I name my plants) is so beautiful and I want her safe.

What do I do and how many inches or cm. of water do I give her?

Please help me!
