# Despite repotting, I had a nice surprise this week. Repotting this…

Despite repotting, I had a nice surprise this week.

Repotting this one was a gentle process of lifting - the roots on these are real bizarre and shallow - and placing, if that makes sense. No rigorous overhaul, just a needed bug check, back into a mix of pumice, soil and clay pebbles.

I accidentally outed the seller in the one pic. She is a local who grows these and Astrophytum from seed 🤘🤘Check the stunning Astrophytum in my collection. All her (and her mom, who apparently has some 50-year old cactuses kicking around the house).

(Image of the roots is not mine)
