Growth Habits: This species will eventually slowly produce a tapered column up to 1.2 m in height. Stem although young plants are globular, they soon become ovoid, and eventually columnar up to 1.2 m tall, 10 (15) cm in diameter. The epidermis of is more or less covered with the typical white woolly flecks characteristic of the genus. Ribs: Usually 8. Spines: 5 to 10 up to 7 cm long, Grey to brown wired, twisted, curved, flattened that look like the horn of a Capricorn.

cold hardy and can survive to -10° C (if kept dry). It needs to be at least 15 cm tall to
bloom . This might take no less than seven years or more depending
on the length of the

climatic conditions. In
the rest period no high atmospheric humidity!!
Sun Exposure:
Light shade to full sun. Austrocylindropuntia vestitaCommon name(s): include: "Cotton Coral Cactus", "Cotton Pole", "Old Man Opuntia" Etymology: The species name "vestita" refers to the plants' vestments, its clothing of white hairs that turns into dens colonies what appears to be patches of snow remembering the high mountain peaks that surround - on all sides - the habitat of this plant Recommended Temperature Zone: USDA: 10-11 Description: Austrocylindropuntia vestita It forms slim columns densely cloaked with thin long white hairs. Every one has it, grows and flowers well. It is usually a slender columnar white and very furry cactus from high altitude. The standard plants form branch both basally and near the top of the stems. Stem: Cylindrical 2-3 cm in diameter covered densely with long white hairs. The stems can eventually grow to almost 60 cm tall. Sun Exposure: Full sun. Min Temperature: 50 ° F (10 ° C). Frost Tolerance: Light frost only Mammillaria nejapensisCommon Name(s): Silver Arrows.
It forms globular stems with silvery white spines with black tips up to 2" in length, and dense wool at the areoles. After a year the head of plant divided, than every heads divided again. Do you imagine how unusual will be this cactus? Mammillaria nejapensis is very variable, especially for the length of the spines, and at the beginning there were two recognized varieties: var. brevispina and var. longispina, with respectively short and long spines, but they are merely local or individual variations. This species branches basally or more frequently forms large colonies by dichotomous division. Description: This is one of the Mammillaria commonly called "Owl Eye Cactus", known for dichotomous branching (forking or dividing into two parts). Although dichotomous branching is not a common occurrence in cacti in general, it happens for some reason in this particular subspecies. What is interesting about this cactus is that it began as a single head, and it has now divided twice, forming what will be four separate branches. When the division process started, it was obvious that four heads would appear, but I don’t think the one head divided quadruple. Most probably, one head became two, and then those two immediately divided. Opuntia basilaris Description: The Beaver-tail Cactus is a smaller prickly pear cactus, and it will often start blooming when it has only two pads. Beware that the glochids (these little barbed bristles organized in clusters) can penetrate the skin. Flowers: The beaver tail cactus has 2.6-3 inches wide (6-7 cm), fuschia colored flowers in March-April. The spineless fruit is dry when ripe. The seeds are 0.24 to 0.4 inch in diameter (6-10 mm) Recommended Temperature Zone: USDA: 7-10 Sun Exposure: Full sun Min Temperature: Frost Tolerance: Hardy to 0°F (-18°C) Opuntia brachyclada Common Name(s): Beavertail Cactus Opuntia brachyclada is a synonim of Opuntia basilaris.
