Cacti & Succulents

Please help identify my two rescue Cacti :)

10 years ago

I think they might be 'Mammilaria Prolifera' (left), and 'Pilocereus Baumi' (right). I am definitely not certain though. They were bought for me as a gift in a decorative hanging pot from the garden section in Safeway, and they were labeled simply 'Cacti' of course :(. I'm very passionate about rescuing cacti/succulents from less-than-ideal conditions and setting them up to thrive. I also want to catalogue my new collection correctly. I would really appreciate your help with this.

The one on the left appears to be a Mammillaria, but not prolifera. Maybe M. rhodantha pringlei? The one on the right might be a Pilosocereus, but it is hard to say what kind until it is larger. P. baumii is not a recognized name, although Altman Growers sells plants under that name which end up in most of the big-box nurseries. On this Cacti Guide thread the consensus was that it might be P. gounellei.

Oh WOW! I just saw pictures of P. gounellei on Cacti Guide :). Hmm, well, I guess I do have several years to figure out where this guy will sit, hehe. I can't thank you enough for helping me figure this out
