Hello, it will be my first winter with all these cacti, so I bought a greenhouse shelf to keep on my terrace, facing North-East.
I'm in Mediterranean weather, in zone 8 from my understanding. The terrace where I set up the greenhouse is quite sheltered from the wind. Is this going to be enough for them to survive the winter? Or should I put them inside?
(Last pic was they day before the chest-bursting)
So, I was gifted this cactus. It was full of spiderwebs and the soil felt too organic and humid, so I took it out of the pot to change substrate and check the yellowing. I assumed the yellow was corking, because it feels hard to press against it, but as soon as I started softly touching the soil, big chunks of roots and most arms came off very easily. What is going on here? Is the cactus damaged? I'm not expert enough to assest the situation.
Thanks everyone for your help! Still learning here
Hello! I've had this cactus for almost a year and someone suggested it could be a San Pedro. However, it doesn't seem as "thick" as those cacti I can identify as San Pedro, so I'm wondering if it's just a species I'm not familiar with or a completely different thing.
​
The fourth pic was found online and it's the closest thing to my cactus I've found, except for the roundness and thickness of the head, however the spines seem quite similar to that Peruvian Torch.

I'm still trying to learn, so I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb to more experienced people! Thank you for your help!:)
Hello! What cactus do I have here? Is it a cereus? Thank you very much :)
