I'm mostly into cacti, aloes, and other heat tolerant succulents, and more recently hoyas and some tropicals. Phoenix, AZ. USDA zone 9b, heat zone 11.

Wow, I hadn't realized how many SEPARATE AZ Snowcaps cacti there had been in the pot when I bought it! Score!! A couple of the heads had already been rotten and dead when I bought it, too! Potted them with this Mammillaria elongata monstruosa 'Golden Nugget', and started acclimating them to the sun so maybe they'll start growing dense and white like they're supposed to.

Nice! I’m getting this strange fondness for white spined Cacti. 🌞

@philstalder thanks! @sunlovin HA, I didn't even realize it, but almost all the cacti here do have white spines or areoles! 🤣

I tried to find yours with hashtags but you don’t use them. 🤔 You have a lot!

@sunlovin nah, I never really got the hang of hashtags. I hardly have any of my plants documented here anyways. I still prefer Plant Collector for that.

Ask and ye shall receive! I was looking for one of these to replace mine that died, and found one at Lowe's today. It was the only one! It looks a little rough, and one head is bald bc I had to rip off a glued on flower, but hopefully I can salvage it. 🤞😁

Well, I guess the one I bought at Lowe’s thinking it was this is something else. Back to the search. 😩🌞
