How often should I water a Fabris' Rebutia? How often should I be watering my cactus and how much water? Is it healthy how I'm watering it right now (which is like hardly ever 😅) How can I tell? #cactus

I’m terrible with posting on the special days/threads that are created for things like #FreshLeafFriday and #WhatTheSuccWednesday soooooooo…here’s what I’m excited about! Look at these amazing #MimosaPudica !! The initial photos I took are not great but you can really see how they’re thriving! I was today years old when I learned the the flowers from my #RebutiaMinuscula left little fruits behind and that those fruits have seeds inside! New project time! Look at this flower stalk from my #Aloe Blushing Pink! Love watching the progress on my plants! Also love new plants like my #Tillandsia I added to my tropical stand!

Rot or lack of water ? What can I do to fix this. A month ago I got this Sulcorbutia rauschii, she looked much better, even though she still seemed a little soft. I have missed a couple watering days recently however she is showing some discoloration (the middle cactus/biggest one) it’s yellowish brown. She is soft but that could be because of the lack of water. She has many pups, I’m wondering if I could cut those off and if it’s okay to do so, if they don’t have roots. Or if I should wait for them to have roots. The roots were really healthy when I got her, & I planted her in bonsai jack mix with added Soil. I water her every 15 days or so & she is under grow lights for 10+ hours a day. #CactusClique #Cacti #Cactus #RootRot #PropagationStation #Propagation #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #grafting
