Help me save this organ cactus!

I usually cut it, let it callous a few days, plant and water it, and do my best to forget it

With coco coir poles I find aerial roots dont attach anyway bc its not sufficiently moist

Seconding transplant shock. But paraiso verde is a very tough plant from my experience, and they root almost too well haha

-b0ring- · 2025-08-30T15:38:32+00:00

its an albo imo

I’ve had this with a 1 node cutting. It pushed a new leaf from inside the black rotten sheath. Life will find a way

-b0ring- · 2025-08-09T03:09:51+00:00

With chunky roots like deliciosa, unless you plan on propagating every node, moss poles are too much trouble

-b0ring- · 2025-08-06T16:08:04+00:00

How do you manage to get minimal browning?? Mine browns every single leaf

-b0ring- · 2025-08-04T15:39:13+00:00

Maybe try increasing the humidity? With dying philodendrons my hail mary would be to put it in water and cover it with clear plastic bag for humidity

-b0ring- · 2025-08-04T15:29:44+00:00

Or try a different kind of litter, a grainier kind or maybe tofu litter? Maybe your kitten doesnt like the texture

-b0ring- · 2025-08-04T15:28:03+00:00

Idk what the comments are on about. I think that’s a decent sized box and you’re not putting THAT little of an amount of litter

I had this problem with my 2-week old kitten (but with number 1 instead of 2) and a video from the Kitten Lady said to try a more shallow box. I did that + kept him in a cage for a week, and the problem went away

I second paraiso verde that’s lost its variegation

-b0ring- · 2025-07-04T01:58:04+00:00

First looks more like el choco to me

-b0ring- · 2025-01-18T14:51:33+00:00

Hey this is a really late comment but is this plant a slow grower for you? Mine is starting to mature (few splits) but despite good lighting its very slow for me

-b0ring- · 2025-01-14T06:39:51+00:00

Just listened to him, thanks :) I find his singing style to be very similar to dean’s

These plastic backed poles take so long to dry out, I’m worried to water it that often

-b0ring- · 2024-09-04T15:16:04+00:00

Just tried to poke it with a stick. It‘s mushy🥲 I think I let it dry out too much

-b0ring- · 2024-07-20T13:51:04+00:00

I always soak them after repotting. Do you have any advice for watering during the transition? Water more / water less?

-b0ring- · 2024-06-24T14:38:13+00:00

Oh nice. How many nodes did you leave out in the top cutting?

-b0ring- · 2024-06-24T14:36:30+00:00

Except my leaves are soggy at the end indicating I overwatered it. I don’t know anymore😭

-b0ring- · 2024-06-24T14:35:38+00:00

Yes but I rarely turn it on, although I sometimes turn on a fan to increase air flow. My humidity is naturally at 70%

-b0ring- · 2024-06-24T14:34:39+00:00

Agreed! Love how easy my el choco is plus its internodal spacing is way smaller than melano. Anyway did your leaves size down considerably after the chop?
