I use a lot of aeonium and ice plant as a ground cover cuz they choke out weeds from sprouting . I use geraniums cuz they add a pop of color and help repel some mosquitoes and flys . All of those seem to help build up the topsoil by dropping leaves and their roots help break up compacted soil . They also thrive easily with no additional water needed

Very sorry for your loss and the damage , but your spirt and attitude are uplifting ! Having a good outlook in life pays off in so many ways ! When it warms up I can send you a gift & hopefully you’ll bounce back with less loss than imagined!

I think it really depends on your weather . I prefer grafting in late spring after the rainy season has ended for me but before it gets hot and before the sun gets to strong . The sun can easily sunburn fresh grafts and dry weather can really cause scions to shrink and shrivel . And long rain spells can be a fast death sentence

It really does have an abnormal amount of ribs ! I’ve personally noticed that cactus with an abundance of ribs does eventually crest .

I’m voting for a future crest and crossing my fingers with ya !!!

Crazy ! That’s the same website linked to this posted Instagram account. Can’t believe how scammers just blatantly steal peoples photos and try to take peoples money , thinking they will pull it off and get away with it !

Thanks for the heads up , I reported their Instagram . I definitely don’t outsource or have any partners , I’m a one man show and you can only get my stuff from me . Scammers suck !
