The plan to save one of the Minnesota's most imperiled species — the ball cactus — is a desperate one. There are only a couple thousand left in the state, and many of those are in active granite quarries where they will eventually be dug up and killed. Nobody has tried planting or re-establishing wild populations in Minnesota before now. https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-endangered-species-ball-cactus-arboretum-big-stone-refuge-wildlife/600306961/

The future of Minnesota's ball cacti rely on the survival of a young group near an active granite quarry.

Any cacti experts out here? Is this scale?

I think I'm gonna try and sell one of my #Cacti #cuttings - its a cutting from a cutting that was sold to me as a San Pedro KK-Matucana.

It's a rooted tip (freshly potted), about 3.5" tall - I have no idea how much to ask for it tho 🤭

Does $35-ish (USD) seem reasonable?

Some three week old #Gymnocalycium and Rebutia babies. There are 5 or 6 species of both genera in each pot, will sort them next year. A little disappointed in my sterilization on the #Rebutia pot, will need to keep an eye on the #algae. @plants #cacti #CactiCommunity #succulents #seeds #germination #plants
