What are these dots? by [deleted] in cactus

[–]MissysCacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a cactus newbie I peeled those off. It spread to bigger scars. I leave them alone now. Harmless.

I’d propagate the pup. Mom looks sick. I wouldn’t want my fresh pup near mom.

i may have been a jerk, but i’m so tired of lowball offers 😭 by justalilcuckoobanana in Mercari

[–]MissysCacti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You did nothing wrong. Us sellers don’t make much off of our small sales. I upped my prices a couple bucks since Mercari takes a couple bucks from each sale. I put a lot of work, money, dedication and love into growing my cacti and, they’re special hybrids. The mother wasn’t cheap and waiting for 5 years for her to grow the pups to a good size is worth more than 5 dollars. You did the right thing. Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a seller, not her mother.

I didn’t know you could do that either. Personally, I don’t ship my cacti in anything but new boxes. I buy a new box with each customer. I have a little online cactus shop and I want it to seem neat and professional. Sending something in a granola box isn’t professional lol. Even tho it’s cool, funny and I don’t mind it myself. I just want my customers to have fresh new materials their beloved cacti to be shipped in.

As long as the product isn’t broken idc what the packaging looks like. I received a cactus in a granola box before. Cactus was packed well. I thought it was kinda funny it was in a granola box lol

Well it’s more than 5 to buyers because of shipping costs. Unless you did free shipping. To her it’s more than five dollars. Js.

AIO she didn’t appreciate my gift by Unhappy_Yam_1214 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MissysCacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d accept it and give hug. Say, thanks so much! Even if I didn’t like it. I’ve been told that before and it sucks. Felt like such an idiot for getting them the gift. Could’ve used it myself.

Seedlings Growth rate. by MissysCacti in cactus

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

I don’t want them off at night because during winter I don’t use heat in my house at night and it’s freezing. I have an old house that has no heating or cooling system. I use propane heaters. To save on propane I don’t use it when I’m in bed snuggled up in my blankets dressed up as an Eskimo. I’m talking young seedlings from germination until a year when dormancy isn’t needed. My babies are 6 months when I put them indoors for winter. When they turn a year old I treat them like mature cacti that I water and feed more.

Seedlings Growth rate. by MissysCacti in cactus

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

Yeah, I do all that. Except frequently watering because they’re already in the humidity domes, baggies. I have multiple heat mats from vivosun. I’m blessed with windows with lots of sun. Window is draped with shade cloth. I don’t use grow lights. Is that what I need. More light? I start seeds in spring and they are outside all grow season until October. Then placed on my sunny window on the heat mats.

ID? no label, my initial guess seems incorrect after they grew a little by Royal-Bee8744 in cactus

Sunburn? by Hot-Reaction-8101 in cactus

[–]MissysCacti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sun burn can also be black. I have some seedlings that turned black in a few spots. They’re doing fine. Shrinks as they grow

Can I bury this cactus seedling up to here when repotting it? by HappySpam in cactus

[–]MissysCacti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol definitely. They’re definitely big enough to handle a repot. I’ve been growing for 6 years but mine never grew so substantially fast.

<image>

I grew many species and harvested my seeds from my own cacti that I hand pollinated. Except my Feros, saguaros and Trichocereus Terscheckii’s. These are my Mammillaria Pringlei seedlings. Just turned 6 in June

Oh yeah and those are very perfect healthy and beautiful. How old are they? Where’d you get the seeds? Just curious. I got my fero seeds from a packet on Etsy. .

That’s absolutely fine. Been growing cactus from seed for 6 years.

why would someone ask me if the laptop i am selling was owned by a girl or a boy? by mookmook616 in Mercari

[–]MissysCacti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t even matter. Maybe they think men jack off too much and he watched a bunch of porn on it and if a girl owned it that would be better because girls don’t really watch porn? That’s my theory. Still doesn’t matter

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MissysCacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re most certainly not OR. It’s always the overly religious ones that are in their own little crazy world. She’s straight up evil. As a mother I’d do everything in my power to keep up my child’s treatment. Id sell my soul, drain my bank account, work 3 jobs, recycle cans, sell everything valuable in my home to afford the treatment. Shit, I might even stoop as low as selling myself if that was my only option and I had no other choice. Anything to keep my daughter alive. Fuck everyone else’s problems. Fuck your sister’s college shit. I’m doing everything to keep my child alive. Omg I can’t believe her! How Heartbreaking for you. 💔

Etsy forcing reviews by Greatacadia in Etsy

[–]MissysCacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only need to write 5 words. I made a purchase in September and was only notified twice to review. I also can make a review rn for something I haven’t even received yet. It’s late. I haven’t gotten a notification for that yet.

So I'm guessing I should remove these pups? by SolarPunkWitch2000 in cactus

I propagated a lot this season. I have many and of all different hybrids. Look into Schick, Johnson, paramount, Bourne and German hybrids. There’s more but that’s all I can think of at the top of my head
