RE: Blooming cactus - Chamaelobivia no ID

I was struck by your phrase:

I don't care about names

But I think you are right, there are times that we don't need to know the name of the place where they took the picture of a beautiful sunset, we just have to admire and enjoy what we have in front of our eyes, that's the beauty of life, you know I really like your pictures.

And I have a question, do you think that if I leave the cactus in direct sun I will kill them? haha, here in Mexico they live in extreme conditions and without our help, so I have several days thinking about that question, I think I will do the test leaving a couple of them in direct sun.

What I mean is that I will not like it more (or less) if I know the full hybrid name. It grow them from flowers and cause they are cool plants.
Of course it helps knowing what they are. But if I don't... oh well :)

you know I really like your pictures.

Thank you! :))

You can try that. But I would do it gradually. If they are not used to full sun, they will get sunburn. I might not kill them right away, but they will get damaged.
In nature, the small ones usually have some protection from other plants, grasses, some tree or rocks. Their roots are also in a soil, which doesn't heat up so deep. Unlike pots that are heated up by the sun.

I hadn't thought of that and that must be the key, I'm going to put it in a big pot just to experiment haha.

Careful with that too. Big pots stay wet longer = root rot ;)
