Cactus recommendations

mangecoeur

It’s clear from youtube synth videos that a photogenic cactus is an essential part of any synth setup. Presumably because of how warm those analogue synths are, other plants aren’t appropriate. Question is, which cactus?

ashh

Forget the cactus. I go for YouTube videos that have a used condom or old bus ticket sitting almost out of frame. Now that's art.

Why not include something useful - Lophophora williamsii?

Really? Can't someone write an app for this itch too? I want to go completely virtual at some point since everything seems to be breaking down. (Avoid sharp objects and stairs).

Opuntia microdasys
Gynmnocalycium
Carnegia gigantea
Schlumbergera bridgesii

I thought these were all exotic French cheeses...

I play for my kids - my peyote’s. Some of these I grew from seed & are over 25 years old now.

We jest but I did once meet a man who got an arts grant to throw road signs out of a plane. Go figure.

Switzerland, no idea who gave him the money though. Probably some nutter with too much money.

there really are beautiful varieties of "san pedro" and peruvian/bolivian torch. both have cristata varieties which are very pretty and look entirely unlike their healthy brethren, and the monstrosa + cristata double-mutant is truly an otherworldly beauty. plus, these cacti, as mountainside (?) cacti and not desert plants, are really super easy to cultivate. inside, outside, everywhere.
