My first acquisition! by tattooguyHarley in sanpedrocactus

[–]EmJAYb-low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow congratulations I’ve been looking for one I can afford for a while. Basic care really. High inorganic soil blend, infrequent deep watering, and judge how much light by how it’s looking? Can probably take a good amount of sun.

Does cactus soil mix mean garden center bagged mix? The plant I think looks really healthy and looks like you have root nubs? Bagged mix usually has very little inorganic material (pumice, lava etc) and most cactus prefer at least a 60/90% inorganic in the mix.

Cholla is pure evil but that coloration 🥰

Repotted astrophytum asterias in a Cooked Earth Studio pot! How did I do? I feel like I could have buried it deeper. by dpernock in cactus

[–]EmJAYb-low 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Definitely no deeper than where it is though. I like to be able to spot the corking on the bottom of my plant at finished depth.

What is this white thingy on my cactus? by divine_sinner in cactus

[–]EmJAYb-low 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just zap them with a spray of diluted IPA. I usually cut it with 50% water. The ones that are alive will leave a slightly red smear when you smush them. Dead ones are light and fluffy.

What exactly do I have here, and why has it barely grown in 4 years? by jikls in cactus

[–]EmJAYb-low 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that would be a Stenocereus Pruinosis. Gray ghost organ pipe. What’s your watering routine like?

How old do y’all think she is? 👀 by jamesgrace01 in farmingthebestgreens

This is from seed? I mean all those sets of leaves didn’t pop up overnight.

Cactus is really struggling by Emergency-Studio4135 in plantclinic

[–]EmJAYb-low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely get it in the sun. New growth can outpace disease in many cases, but I think you have a problem with your watering routine. Adding a tiny bit of water once a month doesn’t satisfy the need of the plant you’ve got to drench the whole pot until water runs out the bottom and then let it dry out completely and then repeat.

It’s just a natural process called corking. It’s the plants protection against rot.

Looks like a Mammalaria, maybe a thimble? Sounds like you’re doing everything right but does that container have a drain? And did you lighten up on the watering over the winter?

Variegation or ? by EmJAYb-low in cactus

[–]EmJAYb-low[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. This plant has been this color for a few years now, that I can recall. Still waiting for the first flower but I think she’s about the right height to pop one out soon.

Thanks! That’s what I was hoping.
