Pereskia is a primitive genus of cactus before cactus lost their leaves.

both have bloomed recently....

first is bleo

next is weberiana.

one for scale...

Okay.... I just find it hard to believe that both are actually cacti.. Nice flowers...

Are these the ones you posted photos of little plantlets a while ago?!

 

[SlipperFan]

Interesting. I'd not have guessed they were cactii, either. Euphorbia, maybe.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Do they have the same glochids that make Pereskiopsis impossible to grow? Eric

 

[likespaphs]

nope. that's the difference between Pereskia and Pereskiopsis...

yup. they're all grown up!

they like strong light and frequent but very low concentration fertilization.
