Cactus question

Well, this looks a BIT like my cactus, Rebuta muscula. The flowers are identical, but not the shape - mine is neater lol. Also mine is soft - no sharp spines. I'll try to get a photo uploaded for you to see. I took cuttings from mine last year - they all took. Don't remember whether I let them callous over or not.... But they all flowered and I sold the lot at a carboot a week ago!!

Thanks for that Sid. I've looked at images of that and think you could be right. Crikey, mine has gone a funny shape, one reason I want to start it off again.

Hi Wagger - I'm still going to upload a picture just now ;-) I keep mine outdoors all summer - seems to suit it! It just gets stuck anywhere there's a space in the winter - this winter it was on a sideboard with a load of junk - hardly any light never mind sun, but still flowering its little heart out now lol Good luck with your cuttings.

I'll wait for cuttings until it's stopped flowering - buds on every 'chunk'. What do you call them?

Chunk sounds good lol Think I'd say 'offshoot' if I wanted to sound all clever cloggs like x-)
