Echinocactus horizonthalonius - aka ‘the horse crippler cactus’

Astrophytum myriostigma onzuka

I’ve recently built a greenhouse for my more cold-tolerant species to make some space in the grow room for various projects. Since this one grows in the highlands of central Mexico from about 700-1500m, it is more than happy going down to the small minuses. Plus, I find indoors these guys are always trying to come out of dormancy too early and I’m just never ready for them.

Acanthocalycium glaucum

A small growing cactus which is hardy down to some absolutely bone chilling temperatures, A. glaucum produces a glaucous coating from which it gets its name to protect it from from drying out in the Argentine sun.

Not terribly popular with customers.

Copiapoa coquimbana - multiheaded and very old. I also don’t really have room for this in the house but the greenhouse is too cold to keep it over winter.

Copiapoa group shot for blog post I’ve been torturing myself with. Imposter syndrome is for real...
