Now there are pups on pups. I have two other cacti from the same seed batch showing a similar trait, though not nearly to this extent.

    Epic! I would’ve micro grafted one of those little pups just to see what happens.

    Edit: Reminds me of a fairy castle cactus

    That’s a crazy mutation! It’s a bit like when a conifer develops witch’s broom and people cut it off to make tiny dwarf trees with many branches. Very cool and hopefully it’s persistent throughout the growth cycle so you can make unique cuttings and name this as your very own cactus variety.

    Wow, that’s stunning! What are the genetics?

  4. To be healthy he needed special care, more nutrients for sure. Really nice case, take a some cuts and graft to another one. It will pups on this place back anyway

    It almost looks like a Fairy Castle Cactus

  6. I really want to see this cloned! This might be worth sending to someone who does tissue cloning and seeing if this is possible to replicate. If so, it’s a San Pedro fairy castle!!!
