# Hi! I got these cacti as a gift. Looks to be three different kinds so…

_Posted by MK on 2025-11-06_

Hi! I got these cacti as a gift. Looks to be three different kinds so a little hard to identify in planta. Anyone have an id on any of these three? I don’t really know anything about cacti, should I leave them in this little pot? I haven’t even tried to look at the roots because it’s in my office where I don’t have tongs. I assume it needs just a teeny bit of water once in awhile, and a shallow pot. Any care tips for cacti would be appreciated!

Those are three different cacti’s. I would say leave them there for a little while longer. Just because I had something similar last year and I repot it into something a little bigger and they all died. Water monthly, place by a window. They don’t need much attention.

Probably should leave them there until spring. Thanks!
