#PricklyPearCactus Discussion

Why is my cactus floppy? πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸŒ΅

Hey #CactusClique and #Cactus loving Greggers, I have a problem. Why is my cactus so floppy? πŸ˜… This guy is a #PricklyPearCactus, and he’s been growing this new pad for a couple months after flowering. The original pad was placed into the cactus soil unrooted with another prickly pear species, and two other pricklies have been added since then. His two lower pads have always been a little wrinkly, but over time they’ve been able to stand on their own without stakes… until now. I water when the soil is dry, I keep them under a plant light. And I try to support the floppy pad when it’s too slumped over. Any suggestions out there as to how I can help this guy?

Cactus Concerns, part 2

We've finally woken up here in the "north!" After a loooooong 6 month dormancy, every one of these guys is alive and popping off. Tons of new pads coming, and even the pads that broke off during planting made it through the winter and are growing. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't lose any during their first big freeze! Anyone else up here finally getting growth outside? #cactus #cactusclique #outdoorgrowing #succulentsquad #opuntia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

Root Rot?

Why is my cactus wrinkled and squishy?

I wasn't expecting these things to root so fast πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #rootporn #planttherapy #cactusclique

I’m looking for a new pot for this baby since the one I have doesn’t have any drain hole but do prickly pears like more room or less room? I know succulents can be kind of picky I didn’t know if these guys are too

What’s the white fuzzy stuff?

What can I do for this little cactus guy?
