How to fertilize Assorted Ferocactus
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 Assorted Ferocactus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I got two new cacti today 🌵 The first one is a Blue Myrtle Cactus, I love how tiny & cute they are. It’s kinda hard to tell the size in the picture but it’s in a 3 inch pot. The second is a Fire Barrel Cactus, I love the magenta spines at the top! As well as the ridges in the cactus, all together is a super visually stimulating plant with its unique textures & colors. 😍 I also potted up all my props that were ready for their own pot! The third photo is my Sedeveria ‘Harry Butterfield’, the fourth is ‘Firecracker’ Aloe, and the last photo is all of my newly potted Pachyphytum ‘Starburst’ 🌱 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #Propagation #PropDontShop #Sedeveria #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #cacticollect #Ferocactus #BlueMyrtleCactus #Aloe #Pachyphytum

#ThornyThursday #ChaoticPlainsUpdates I KNOW I DID ONE YESTERDAY BUT- 🌿Also! Quick announcement! I will be doing my #Succulents on #WhatTheSuccWednesday and my cacti on #ThornyThursday 🪴Omg! I just heard of this! And I love it! @PlantyPlanter tysm for this! So let’s do an update on my thorny friends! Idk if #tigerjaws / #Faucaria count tho…if it doesn’t lemme know! 🌱Citrine! He’s doing FANTASTIC! He isn’t squishy AT ALL! (First time for everything I guess) He’s actually getting rounder and idk if that’s a good thing or not lol 😅 #Mammillaria 🌱Pyrite! I might need to water tomorrow cuz the soil’s dry and he’s getting somewhat squishy. But overall the paleness is dying off! #Ferocactus 🌱Ruby! Not squishy anymore! Turns out, she was root bound in the other pot. So I freed her roots and put her in a different one with better drainage. Also some #NewGrowth !! So she’s doing much better! #MoonCactus 🍃Unakite and RJ (not sure if they count) They’re doing amazing! Unakite is taking the #NewPot and #Propagation really well! And RJ is still squishy but it’s getting better ❤️🩹! #Faucaria #tigerjaws 🪴Have a happy Thursday!! #CactusClique #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #Cactus #Cacti #cacticlan

#ChaoticPlainsUpdates #WhatTheSuccWednesday 🪴Haha! Hello I’m back! I’m NOT missing #WhatTheSuccWednesday so…let’s talk! 🌱RJ and Unakite are doing good. RJ was squishy before and it’s somewhat worse now… I watered him to be safe! #tigerjaws #Faucaria 🌱Citrine got watered today, he was squishy! (For reference I haven’t watered him in >two weeks) #Mammillaria #PincushionCactus #RarePlants 🌱Ruby is still squishy. It’s not too bad, but it is worse. I think the soil doesn’t drain fast enough. I might repot. Idk! #MoonCactus 🌱Peridot is doing ok, I neglected to water her cuz I thought she was overwatered 😅 but I watered her so things should be fine! #ZebraHaworthiopsis #HaworthiaFasciata 🌱Pyrite is doing good as well! #Ferocactus #Cactus 🪴happy Wednesday! Hope it’s / it was a good one! #HappyPlants #SucculentSquad #CactusClique

#ChaoticPlainsUpdates 🪴Another one…are you tried of me yet? Cuz if you are…I’M SORRY!! 😭 🌵FIRST! I has question…I think peridot is over watered…but idk…there’s a picture of her, no. 3. Does anyone else second that?? 🌱RJ! As some of you may know, RJ had a lil fungus on him. I didn’t have fungicide so I had to remove two of his leaves. I was worried he would die rather quickly. BUT! He’s still alive and he’s got some new growth on his baby and his little guy in the middle. Thanks to @dreamlettuce he won’t die due to fungus! 🌱Citrine! As said before, Citrine was REALLY squishy. I didn’t know why. But I was quickly informed by @SirLiquorice that he needed water. Now he’s not as squishy! 🌱Peridot…she’s overwatered. The tips of her leaves are turning brown. I’m gonna let her dry out for while and hopefully that will fix it! 🌱Pyrite! Omg! He’s doing SO much better! Definitely not as pale! 🪴that’s all! Have a good day! Sorry for all the hashtags 😭 #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #RarePlants #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #Ferocactus #Faucaria #tigerjaws #ZebraHaworthiopsis #HaworthiaFasciata #PincushionCactus #Mammillaria #Succulents #Succulent #thursdaysuccs #Cactus

#WhatTheSuccWednesday 🪴 Sooo….it’s #WhatTheSuccWednesday AND I wanted to do a #ChaoticPlainsUpdates as well! I did a lot with my plants today! 🌱RJ was repotted twice. #tigerjaws #Faucaria #NewPotWhosThis 🌱 Peridot was OVERDUE for a new pot, so she got herself a new pot as well! #ZebraHaworthiopsis #HaworthiaFasciata #Succulents 🌱Citrine was given a new pot. Mainly because I knocked him over the other day. He’s a lot less wide too. #PincushionCactus #Mammillaria #Cactus 🌱 Ruby is just kinda chilling, doing great though. #MoonCactus #Cacti 🌱Pyrite is doing SO much better! He’s still a little pale though. #Ferocactus #cacticlan 🌿SIDE NOTE I’m thinking about decorating their pots, any suggestions?? 🪴Overall; new pots, new growth, and LOTS of recovery! #SucculentSquad #CactusClique 🪵 HELLO POST-POSTING UPDATE! RJ had a little fungus thing going on, so I had to remove some of his leaves. (Shown in picture 5) thanks @dreamlettuce for helping me out!

Well, this happened… 🪴 #ChaoticPlainsUpdates !! Story time yayyy!! 🌱I almost killed my #Ferocactus ! 🌿 STORY TIME!! Pyrite was very, very, pale and I gave him more sun to see if that would fix it. It didn’t, things only got worse. I checked to see the last time I watered him…the 28th of July…it’s AUGUST 8th!!! It explained SO MUCH! I gave him a cup of water. 🪴Now, hopefully, he’ll be ok! If anyone can give me tips on how to avoid this, that’d be great! #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #Cactus

#ChaoticPlainsUpdates I changed my mind about the “Saturday only” thing. Also new format! (If you want a key look in the comments) #SucculentSquad #CactusClique 🪴Hello children! It’s time for part 2 of #ChaoticPlainsUpdates I’m doing a slightly different format cuz Greg only lets me have 5 pictures on a post at a time! 🌱RJ is doing great we had a lot of #newgrowth this week! #Tigerjaws 🌵 https:// 🌱Peridot is doing great and thriving. No new growth that I know of though. #ZebraHaworthiopsis 🌱Ruby is doing amazing! I didn’t notice until I repotted her that her stalk is a lot bigger than I thought 😅 #MoonCactus 🌱Citrine is doing much better! Not squishy and won’t be watered until two weeks from today. #PincushionCactus #Mammillaria 🌵 https:// 🌱Pyrite is surviving and slowly healing from wounds that occurred during the repotting that happened last week. #Ferocactus 🪴Overall everyone is doing alright! Everyone is thriving and no one has died!

Hi everyone new mom of plants here, I was given this plant and it has a brown spot on it/hole. You can see it in the photo and was wondering what I should do to cure this. Any info is helpful. Thank you in advance. #Ferocactus
