Does this data point refer to TBM crested (2nd pic) or TBM clone C?

Also when its spelled out TBMc, all one word, does that generally mean crested or clone C?

Then vice versa what would TBM-c (or TBM c?) with a dash or a space inbetween the "tbm" and "c" mean?

Thanks guys! Sorry if its a noob question I tried looking things up but some people seem to spell them out differently?

Is this Fin De Los Rios right side up? Also, you guys think this ones a good candidate to plant?

So I just cant quite tell if this is right side up or not? The areoles are so flat its hard to tell Lol

I think it is upright in these pics...? But I really dont know

I know the cutting has a good amount of scarring and whatnot but I was also wondering if anyone had an opinion on how this looks pest-wise? I dont see any critters but never hurts to be sure

Its about 14" long and 4-5 inches wide, if you were in my shoes with the cuttings current condition, would you guys opt to plant it?

Thanks homies

Is this concerning or is it just normal scarring/roots being shot out? Star's Huancabamba pach

So im not sure if any of this looks to be fungal or damage from bugs, or if its just trying to shoot out a bunch of roots?

(The white power is diatomaecous earth)

Its been sitting in Pumice rooting for a few months and it finally h as a root ball now but I cant help but be concerned by

  1. The odd orange-ish color in pic 1

  2. The protruding parts, one of the most pronounced being right above an areole in Pic 2

  3. And lastly the brown-ish circular formations that are most pronounced in Pic 3

Thank you guys i really appreciate it.

Sorry the 2nd and 3rd pics are a little blurry it was pretty hard to catch a picture of

I noticed on my indoor TBM cactus a little red speck running around in the dirt. Then in these pictures is a second one I saw on a tray below my cactus pot.

I recently have been dealing with some fungus gnats that showed up only a few days after my girlfriend brought home a Swiss Cheese Monstera plant that I think may have introduced the gnats? (and maybe also the mites?)

So do these look predatory, and are they likely just going after the fungus gnat larvae? Or do they look like Red Spider Mites or something bad that i need to address?

I will be addressing the gnats with mosquito dunks also.
