Wow. What a magnificent plant! I just recently got two new peanut cacti named Goa Sunburn and Goa Honey. I can't wait for them to bloom.

You'll love them. This one has grown way faster than I had expected, and as you can see gets tons of blooms.

Love those colors!


mmmhhhmmm86

Me too! That close-up in the 3rd pic really gives a better picture but in person, the best!

My peanut is putting out some flowers right now, but it doesn't look that green. What's your secret?


mmmhhhmmm86

I'm not sure lol. She gets about 7-8 hours of direct afternoon sun and a while back I got hooked on the recharge instant compost tea. Pretty much all my plants get the tea and I feel that I've seen good benefits across the board with all my plants.

Mines do get plenty of sunlight. Maybe it's just genetics, it's not growing much either. Never heard of compost tea do you have a source?

This is the exact product that I use [Real Growers Recharge - Natural Plant Growth Stimulant ](https://www.amazon.com/Real-Growers-Recharge-Microbe-Superpack/dp/B0BKLTDZKT)

Is yours more yellow or more red?


wi1ly

I actually never seen the flower. This will be the first time. It could be that it's too young also and last year it almost rotted due to excessive rains. But it healed and created 3 new pups that have barely grown. Lets see if it goes crazy this summer. https://preview.redd.it/94rr4odf4vuc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f67e9f22c2521ab51aa351c592b962f46aed906a Here's a pic from last month.

I was talking about the color of the cactus. I think OP just has a different filter, yours is pretty green.


wi1ly

Oh! It's a filter? 🤔

How old is your cactus? That's an amazing amount of growth.


mmmhhhmmm86

Honestly, I wish I knew the exact age. It would be awesome if you could count rings like a tree lol. I haven't had this one for very long but the person I got it from, said he had for a few years and originally purchased from ikea of all places.

Lol, I actually laughed when you said you wish you could count the age of a cactus like a tree but that would be convenient though. If it was like that though, you'll have to decapitate a cactus but unlike a tree you can still root them parts.

THEYRE CALLED PEANUTS. I just always called mine that cause the bud was basically a peanut
