I have a Copper King I love and wanted more. Just received these in the mail. Anyone know what these black things are? Never had them on mine.

    I found those on mine. I thought they were shriveled up flowers, so i pulled them off with tweezers. He dies shortly after. Not sure if thats correlated, but they might be flowers, might be signs of disease, but I would get another opinion.

      This stinks. I don’t think this is going to turn out well.

      Ok, so someone told me that they were the flower remains of flowers not fertilized to produce seed pods. That explains them being at the base I guess.

    Looks like it might just be soil stuck between the spikes. It's common for that to happen during repotting

      I thought that but when I took a toothpick to try to get it out, it was definitely attached and left a hole in the cactus. Really weird. Can’t get the seller to respond to me yet.
