How to fertilize Boobie Cactus
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Boobie Cactus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s wrong with my Boobie cactus!??? It’s quite soft to the touch and has these weird brown spots. What am I doing wrong!😭 #help #CactusClique #Cactus #BoobieCactus #advice #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Started to notice these spots on my boobie plant. It is under grown light AC infinity bar with timers setup to mimic sun time. It's then i'm doing this cycle for probably seven months and then fine until this week, I noticed these brown spots. I have another one of these plants under it on next shelf, and it does not have this issue. Seen in the other photo. What is this?

How do I care for the unrooted boobie cactus I ordered? I received this about a week ago and it came unrooted and wrapped in a paper towel, I put it in this cactus/succulent soil and very lightly misted it with water because the internet told me not to water it yet. Any help with how I should proceed and how I can help remedy the yellow spots is appreciated! #HappyPlants #CactusClique #BoobieCactus

When should I water this guy? I bought her almost a month ago and haven't watered her yet because the lady I bought her from said to wait a while to water, Greg recommends I water it today. Do I water or snooze? #boobiecactus #cactusclique #succulentsquad #houseplant

B👀🐝s!!! #BoobieCactus I’m a child and this #BoobieCactus is just hilarious. Had to have it. Need a better #planter for long term. Can’t decide between the top or bottom half of a femme form. Any good finds?

Under-watering or over-watering? 🌵 Hey #greggang! As you know #cacti and #succs are NOT my thing. I always get worried because they are doing nothing, then I get worried I'm overwatering them so I end up under watering them. It's a whole thing 🙄 So. Here is my latest predicament. My #boobiecactus. It came unrooted. I made a cactus mix that's basically sand, pumice, and a little soil. It was in plastic and I'd bottom water it when it started to feel soft. I transferred it to terracotta and moved it to the sunniest window once winter was over and have watered once since. This time it didn't get firm again after watering. Since then it's started to get squishy and turn a little yellow. Soft/wrinkly/more sun makes me think under-watered. Soft/yellowing/squishy makes me think over-watered. I haven't watered it in several weeks and nothing has changed. I figured I should pull it to check and the base that was in the soil is the firmest part. There are very few roots, but I think it had this few when I got it... Maybe 🤔 I removed some of the soil but didn't want to mess with the roots more. The ones I can see are white. So, what do you say #cactusclique? Do I stick it back in the soil and let it get a good bottom water, or leave it out and let it dry out? #cactus #myrtillocactusgeometrizansfukurokuryuzinboku #happyplants #notsohappyplants #help 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

I’m usually the worst with cacti, but these came to me as lightly rooted cuttings and they have been doing really well and slowly growing.

This cactus is an easy-care plant doesn't want a lot of water. Allow the soil to dry out before you give it another drink. Keep the soil completely dry in winter. Treat it to special cactus food once a month in the spring and summer.
