Please help me identify my cactus plants

10 years ago

Hi,

I have around 15 cactus plants but I do not know their names so I thought I get some help here and identify them. I bought most of them in local stores because the looked cool and nice and after some 4 months I thought to learn their names.

I tried to attach the picture (I put all cactuses in one picture and numbered them) but the picture is too big and cannot be attached. So I put the pictures in my dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/om81n0iju21qxfo/JzSYscGtaf

In my picture all cactuses are numbered, I think number 2 and number 6 are same species other than than I dont know anything about any of the plants.

Thank you for the help

Thank you, this is amazing. I almost got all my plants named.

I put high resolution new photos of number 3, 11, 13 and also put two new pictures of two other cacti that I have. The pictures are at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rnviby8smq85tmh/-G1FlJP4RN

I searched in the web and guess that n1 is a chain plant or link plant. and n2 is some sort of queen cacti. But I appreciate if you take a look at them and name them as well.

Thanks.

I agree with Zeck's ID on #3. Mammillaria spinosissima 'Un Pico' & #12. (Have yet to look at others)

Thanks for the additional pix. On your 2 added plants, 1st of those is Rhipsalis paradoxa, Chain Rhipsalis/Link Rhipsalis & the other is a Sempervivum (hard to say which species).

When you give a link (your drop box urls), you can copy/paste them into the box below where you are typing this (Optional Link URL) & give it a name "my plants" (etc.). Like I did for you again, below. Shortens the steps for others to take in order to see your plants. =)

Oh! And THANK YOU for numbering your plants & the large rez pix. That is VERY helpful!
