My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

New Mammilaria
I've been looking for this cactus for a few weeks. I had seen some nice specimens over at the the Home Depot in Kapolei, but I passed on them - after changing my mind, they had been snapped up already. I'm pretty sure this is a type of Mammilaria. I've seen some similar ones during my regular nursery browsing, but they didn't have the taller central spines that this one has.
I repotted this one and raised the stem above the previous line. Hopefully this plant will fill out the lower section and callous out. I'll keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn along the way.
