Cactus under carbonate. 21. (2021) . 2.

A small space in my collection is occupied by mammillaries from the Crucigera-Gruppe.
They are mostly purchased plants. I don't have much success with sowing and growing them.
Dixanthocentron are probably the easiest to cultivate. It's too early to talk about flowering.

One of my favourite Mammillaria species.
Nice plants, Vladimir.

Very nice plants Vladimir.
Hands up!

Thank you, JFabiao and Fatich.  
'Dixanthes' are quite diverse in nature, varying in the size of the central thorn, its colour and fluff. But very poorly represented in our area.  Maybe I'm wrong, though.

Poeple generally do not have interest with pink small flowered Mammillaria species. They are nice plants when they get older.

Happy birthday, Vladimir!

Happy birthday, Vladimir!


Best wishes

I'm just happy. You see what an international family we have.
Thank you friends, it's such a small thing - 60 years.
We'll see!
As the doctors say: We're watching.

I don't think that your M. guerreronis RS658 is M. guerreronis, it looks more like M. albilanata. If you look at the photo of a flowering RS658 on the guerreronis page of Maurillio, then you can also see that it is not a guerreronis. See https://mammillaria.forumotion.net/t1105-mammillaria-guerreronis

But other than that: thank you for posting all these interesting photos of well-grown plants!

Wolter ten Hoeve.

Quite possibly, Wolter.
I got the seeds from Stanik.
I noticed the differences, but decided to wait a little longer to draw conclusions.

Wolter ten Hoeve.

Since I received seeds with this name, I did not pay attention to the appearance of the little seedlings.
The correct name would be:
Mammillaria sp. RS 658, Guerrero (Chilpancingo-Iguala) .
(I think Roman Stanik knows how tall Guerreronis is) .


Thank you for your observation.  
For me this mistake is a bit sad. It is very rare to buy M. guerreronis seeds nowadays.
Vladimir.

Sometimes I want to leave an unchanged clump of earth with sprouts. Cacti that have grown amongst the rocks. The seedlings have different growth rates and there is competition.  In such cases, I use "pot-in-pot" planting. When replanting, the outer fertile layer is replaced and the perforated pot with the plants in the gravel is left untouched.

Wonderful plants Vladimir as always

I agree with Wolter right there the RS658 is Mam. albilanata fma. igualensis.

I also think what Lau said is gigantea L1118 might be Mammillaria antesbergeriana.

On another 60 years kind regards Jonathan

Mammillaria sp.L 1118
Jalisco (Huejuquilla-San Juan Capistrano 1000-1700m)

"The location is the border area between the states of Zacatecas and Durango. It may be distantly related to M.wagneriana."  (letter from Dr Lau) By Bob Stanley.

Thank you, Jonathan, for the correspondence journey, stationary traveling!
I took a virtual tour of Route 44.
There are three uplands on the border of the three states, 30-50 km away.
M. antesbergeriana grows at these elevations.
This is evidenced by the findings of WTH, ROG and L.
I would like to wander these canyons.
Only I probably won't be able to do that in the next 60 years.    
Thanks for the congratulations.

RS658 is Mam. albilanata fma. igualensis.
Well, let's see.
Let my seedlings grow up a bit.
