Identification Help!

Please help! I picked these up at Home Depot but have no idea what kind of cacti they are. Anytime I scan it, it tells me it’s a toothpick (left - I’m not convinced) and mammilaria (right).

hi there - I use the picture this plant identifier app and I’ve found it’s able to accurately detect all of my plants so far, including succulents. Maybe this would work for you as well?

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot

You’re right, that’s definitely a lemon ball. Thank you

You have a Parodia Leninghausii and Mammillaria matudae - Thumb Cactus.

Try the LeafSnap app. It’s free and pretty accurate.

The one on the left is a golden ball catus also known as the lemon ball catus I have 3 of them
