    This compact and neat formed cactus has always been a highly desireable acquisition for serious collectors. More so, the difficult cultivation of the seedlings you mentioned but also becouse of the limited geographical restriction means they are also extremely rare in the wild. This is a cactus I am on the lookout for, so this video was extremely helpful, and one I will return to again if and when I manage to find one for sale somewhere. Thanks for posting as always!.

    Hi Lynnie!!! I have never seen one of these guys ever off the internet. I've rarely seen pictures on the net on their own roots too, as you mentioned, perhaps grafted due to their slow growth. It's nice to know that you had this guy for 25 years!!! Thank you for all the information shared Lynn, especially the information on the root stalk of grafts. from the garden city of India to the Emerald Isle, you and Hans have a wonderful holiday season!!! Cheerio Lynnie!!!

      Aztekiums on their own roots very occasionally show up on ebay by private collectors, but are often small plants that go for a premium. I too am looking for this plant.

    I love these cactus Lyn, this one has been at the top of my wish list for a long time, Edith has one for me back in Singapore but it’s grafted at the moment. I was going to get some seeds earlier in the year until I read they’re extremely difficult to germinate and keep alive. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us Lyn and info on its care needs, hopefully it’ll bloom for you very soon😊 From Edith & myself to you and Hans, have a wonderful evening and upcoming new week ❤️🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🎄

      It may have been caused from the change in the lighting from the inside to the outside and may need to be acclimatised a bit, I sometimes cover them with a shade cloth for a couple of days after moving them back outside
