Why is my cactus so floppy? π This guy is a #PricklyPearCactus, and heβs 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 theyβve been able to stand on their own without stakesβ¦ 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 itβs 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 π π π #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #rootporn #planttherapy #cactusclique Iβm looking for a new pot for this baby since the one I have doesnβt have any drain hole but do prickly pears like more room or less room? I know succulents can be kind of picky I didnβt know if these guys are too Whatβs the white fuzzy stuff? What can I do for this little cactus guy?
