🚨 Plant 911! Booby cactus down πŸš‘

… I accidentally knocked my booby cactus over this morning and the top (which had this great new growth) broke off and now I need a new pot… Should I just let this little guy sit out for a few hours or do I need to wrap him with moist towels while I go shopping? #help #SucculentSquad #GregGang
5” pot with drainage

Oh I hate it when these things happen! But I guess they happen in nature too and plants are made to survive πŸ™Œ

I think you’ll want to leave it out until the end has calloused over and then put it back in dirt. But I’m fairly new to cactus, so I’m going to tag some others who know more…

Definitely leave it out, and choose a pot that’s smaller than you think- only about an inch bigger than the root ball! Terracotta is best, as well as succulent soil.
