    Hi.

    I have these cacti and would like to know the exact variety names.

    Also, do they all need direct sunshine?

    Thanks.

    Three of them look the same. If so I have the 2 varieties but don't know the names. I leave in direct sun, water miserly in summer, and let dry out, but make sure the pots have holes as they will rot off if left in damp.

    Furry one seems to be some sort of Cephalocereus :)
