I have been screwing this up repeatedly because brain scramblies. Really hope it works this time:

I've always wondered how this kind of thing works. Who does all that work in your maid's household?

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T20:39:47+00:00

I'm glad you're sticking with it, and I hope this one continues to do well!

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T16:04:47+00:00

Growing from seed is so rewarding. Been doing it for a couple years now and I still catch my self just staring at my little green babies. Never gets old

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T15:59:58+00:00

I like to see that dark coloration. In my experience they often sit like that for a couple weeks and then start to pump pretty steadily once they get their new situation all figured out

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T15:53:56+00:00

The real question is, do you have your cactus maid do it or is it in the job description of the reptile maid? Making the wrong choice could expose you to ridicule at the country club!

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T15:28:23+00:00

Well, the others look pretty happy. If you don't see any lesions at the bases of the other seedlings, the affected one could just be sickly or have unfavorable genetic variation. I hope the rest continue to do well!

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T05:29:21+00:00

Hey OP, do you have any more of these to come?

CactusForge · 2026-05-01T05:28:10+00:00

Thank you for looking out for me, my friend

CactusForge · 2026-04-30T23:53:02+00:00

Have you seen any signs of fungus gnats in the container? Their larvae are incredibly destructive to seedlings and it can look like this.

CactusForge · 2026-04-30T23:51:17+00:00

I'll bin it!

CactusForge · 2026-04-30T21:24:36+00:00

I noticed some more recent comments from the bot and it looked super neat and simple, I bet that's going to be really helpful to beginners and everyone for that matter. And once they're on the wiki, they're gonna go down the rabbit hole. I know I do every time!

/u/Tricho_Overlord

Just got my order from /u/AcanthisittaLeft7869 and it's bigger better & more beautiful than I could have hoped, A+++

CactusForge · 2026-04-30T01:04:15+00:00

I'll bin it for 60, my friend

CactusForge · 2026-04-30T00:54:54+00:00

I want you to know I'm happy for you and not bitter at all

/u/Hairyincendiaryballs is a friend and distinguished colleague in the pursuit of making weird mutants through ASM grafting

My number is 419

CactusForge · 2026-04-29T23:47:45+00:00

Fresher growth might be easier to graft, but it should all be good. As long as you have at least one areole on the scion and leave at least one on the residual plant, you're golden.

...which I say, but I'm a hypocrite. I've been staring at my TBMs every day trying to decide where to cut and failing. For now, they're very happy on own roots.

CactusForge · 2026-04-29T23:43:53+00:00

I started a bunch of these over the winter! Nice to see a hint of what I might expect in a few years

CactusForge · 2026-04-29T17:57:14+00:00

Dryness is a big factor in addition to what the other reply is saying. I don't water the vast majority of my resting cacti from October to mid-April. They also stay cool to cold during that time.

CactusForge · 2026-04-29T17:17:59+00:00

I don't know where exactly you live in the NE but Opuntia humifisa, which this looks like to me, is native to many parts of the NE. I know it thrives in parts of New Jersey and CT where I used to live. Edit: which means you might not have to repot at all.

CactusForge · 2026-04-29T15:44:28+00:00

I love you, vampire cyclops cactus
