I was amazed to find these in 6" pots at very reasonable prices at Kmart of all places. I picked up a couple. They used to be quite expensive. I had a grafted one that I picked up 20 years ago for 30 dollars. They were quite a rarity at the time.

I think you got lucky Paul. Although they're not as rare as they use to be. I'd snatch one up in a second! Nice plant earline.

Paul, we never have anything like this plant at the bb stores in my area, much less in a six inch pot ;)))

Jen, I had to keep going back to the plant a couple of times before I decided to commit myself
to it and spend my entire xmas gift certificate ;))
I buy for pretty, then I try to find out what I bought :0

Earline,
You have done quite well with yours. I have never grown this on its own roots before, just grafted. I have read other posts by other people that they had problems getting them to grow. Any cultural suggestions? I am getting ready to repot the plants into new potting mix and new pots.

Very nice Earline, these are so rare down here in Tas that they are virtually non existent, (never seen one here). I would love to get one though.

I love this cactus, but it sems to be a bit too demanding for me?

If I had ever saw one of these in a bb store I would have grabbed everyone of them. I do have one though. I haven't had any trouble with it, so far. I've been treating like most all of my cactus plants. I have mine in a clay pot with very drainable soil.
