Flytyer Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can't help with ID (even though I used to have some like it a few years ago) but is that mealy bugs I see or just light reflection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Stevens Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Some sort of echinopsis species or hybrid, very easy to grow-give it lots of light an a cool winter and it will produce large flowers next year. (and yes, that does look like mealy bug!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caym Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 hi your cactus is Echinopsis eyriesii and you have serious problems with mealy bugs. I recommend watering with a solution with Diazinon (3 ml in 1 L) once a week for 4 weeks regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
