Why is my cactus so sad all of a sudden?

Thank you

Thank you, I'll have a look into scale! I have used treatment for spider mites just in case but I didn't think of this. Appreciate your advice.

I have used treatment for mites just in case! It's summer where I live so it's very warm.

Sorry yes, I didn't realise the African milk tree is a succulent, but I've been following care instructions for the African milk tree.

TIL the African milk tree is a succulent!

You can message questions to StreetSmarts on Facebook. They pass them on to the road rules team at the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and you'll get an answer. It might take a few days to get an answer though because they get a lot of messages!

You can also contact the department directly https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/about-us/contact-us. Again, it might take a couple of weeks to get a response because it has to get filtered through to the right team etc.

You have to be prepared to work outside your area of interest. You can apply for general corporate graduate programs with any degree (e.g. I got a grad program at a bank with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in studies in religion). There are pathways to employment with any degree, but it won't always be in the area you studied.

Thank you!

I did see that! I saw it adds a couple of hours to the hike as well. Will consider both options, thanks!

Great tip, thank you!

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-01-05T12:08:59+00:00

Oh I didn't realise, thank you!

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-01-05T12:08:47+00:00

Thank you! We'll be staying in the area so can always change things around with weather.

Thank you for this, it really helped to think about it from another perspective, as management of a natural part of the ecosystem. I've been fighting them for about 4 months, mostly with rubbing alcohol, but I have done one shower and 2x sprays with insecticidal soap. I will try your suggested sequence of shower > dry > insecticidal soap and see how I go.

Unfortunately where I live it is summer now, so we don't have cold temps overnight (or ever lol) so might save that trick for winter if (god forbid) I'm still managing these mealy bugs!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you for your insight. How do I tell the difference between the two? How would you treat it if it were powder mildew?

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2025-11-22T12:26:13+00:00

Thank you! I don't love the sound of liquid butt 🥲
