Mammillaria Mystax

I posted this cacti when I 1st joined the group, we have just returned from a week in the Lake District and I am met by this lovely site.

I should have said there were no flowers when I first posted it.

It's lovely 👌

That's so beautiful it was waiting to surprise you

Haha! Looks amazing in flower would love to have one myself :)) i just bought some thick gloves from B&Q for £3, seem to protect me :) I separated all the different mini cacti on my plant into more pots, such tough plants they can basically survive anything😂

Cactusboy123, what do you use to repot your cacti in please, I buy cacti compost from garden centre but they're small bags @ a big price.. Cheers.

Help me identify this plant

I hope there's a cacti expert out there. I believe this cactus is approx. 35 years old, I bought it before we moved in to this house which was in 84. Thanks for any help.

@teamgardentags Can you help ? @kathy

Sorry no🤔

I think it's Mammillaria Mystax :)

Thanks cactusboy123, this one I think is around 35 years old. No special treatment it sits in the greenhouse from one year to the next. I shudder to think how I'm going to repot it next time!!
