How to fertilize Gray Ghost Organ Pipe
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 Gray Ghost Organ Pipe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’m not optimistic that my Long Boi can be saved, but I’m doing all I can before giving up. A couple months ago, his base softened/rotted. I cut a significant amount off and let it callous over a couple weeks. Put him back in cactus soil and have been watering very seldom, like every month, and now he’s turning black and the base is once again rotting out. He’s 10 years old, so I know the chances of saving him are slim as his life is approaching the end anyway. But I would be doing him an injustice if I didn’t try everything. I already cut his pups in an effort to keep him going. Thanks in advance ♥️ #help #CactusClique

Good morning #GregGang !! This is my (presumably) 7-8 year old cactus, affectionately named Long Boi! I got him 6 years ago, My first houseplant as an adult and recently replanted into a new terracotta pot with succulent soil! To make sure Long Boi gets appropriate watering, I want to verify how much water to give. The app says 2 cups, and it has a 10 inch pot. Any other advice to keep him healthy is appreciated! Thanks in advanced ♥️ #SucculentSquad #CactusClique
