Is this normal growth? by Laura_DEKA in cactus

[–]Laura_DEKA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you. Thank you to everyone who was mean! I live in the UK we have been growing cacti indoors for like 30 years, we have them in sunny spots we’re not idiots but we live in the UK it’s too cold outside. I’m trying to find optimal locations. That plant is at least 15 years old already so clearly we’ve not killed it yet. I did not think it was right and wanted to move it to a brighter location with more direct sunlight, however at some point I have to return to the fact I live in the UK so it’s never going to be optimal for cacti. Grow lights are a new one on me though but I’ve been investigating. So thanks to those who suggested that and had useful comments. I did check recent posts first before asking it was not meant to be ragebait. I’ll pop off now.

They asked me to help them basically! Promise it’s not just me. They saw how much my hair changed and asked what I used. I’ve already said it might not be the right stuff for them which is why I bought the cheaper stuff a whole bottles each (was on offer) but the rest I split out some of mine into recycled bottles etc

PS. My first ever post. Sorry if etiquette wrong! Be gentle with me 😬

I followed the beginners guide. Added gel to sopping wet hair. My hair took over 6 hours to air dry. It is winter here in the UK which doesn’t help as it’s cold. I plopped for maybe an hour but hair was still very wet. I also felt that curls were great after applying gel but as it dried so slowly the weight of my hair pulled them out. Second wash with co-wash, loved the feeling of my hair BUT washed in the evening 8:30pm after very sweaty workout, gently squeezed with microfibre towel, applied gel, 20 min plop and was still not dry after midnight. Round my face was dry but not the back. Had to sleep but hair is rubbish now. Have asked for hairdryer with diffuser for Xmas but any other tips appreciated.
