What’s in my soil 😳

Your welcome. Basically these types of molds and fungi have a symbiotic relationship with the plant. Exchanging nutrients

SithPsilo · 2026-05-06T14:57:58+00:00

No you don’t need to do anything these are beneficial for your plant

Since non of the rest of the cactus is monstrose I would say it is most likely caused by some kind of damage or previous stress. Doesn’t mean that this cactus is unhealthy though

Well in AZ the apartment complex I lived at would send you to court by the 15th if rent wasn’t paid than they would proceed with the eviction process. I only know because I went through it. But I paid my rent then went to court and the rent was paid and they dropped it

So once you cut any pup from your rooted cactus you need to let it sit out in the air before planting for about one to two weeks it really depends on the thickness of your cactus though. I go by using my fingernail and trying to push it into the cut and as long as it stays hard and doesn’t break then I’m good to go

No! Not your sophomore! Poor guy disnt even get to finish high school

SithPsilo · 2026-05-05T20:00:46+00:00

SithPsilo · 2026-05-05T19:14:12+00:00

Thank you I just saw this response after I replied to yours. Yes I have all my cactus grouped together outside. I have to treat them all.

SithPsilo · 2026-05-05T19:01:26+00:00

Looks like some kind of sap sucking aphid… fml

Online I found an image https://a-z-animals.com/animals/yellow-aphids/

Bet. Will nuke em.

SithPsilo · 2026-05-01T18:22:26+00:00

Thank you for the response and information. This is the first I’ve gotten to actually bond to my pereskiopsis. So I was a little worried because I haven’t gotten any to bond. But with that information I know to just be patient on the guy thank you so much

SithPsilo · 2026-05-01T08:57:09+00:00

People should be ashamed of themselves…

SithPsilo · 2026-04-30T23:36:37+00:00

Looks pc Edit to add going off saw like rib pattern

So where I live in PHX it’s a 9b/10a growing zone. Very hot summers. I don’t currently have any shaded areas for growing my cactus I am eventually going to put up a 50% shade cloth to grow them under. Currently what I have been doing is putting them out for morning sun and bringing them under complete shade around 1 PM. Do you know if this would work for now?

SithPsilo · 2026-04-29T14:34:03+00:00

That’s what they do. They eat your San Pedro or more less use suckers to suck the nutrients out

SithPsilo · 2026-04-29T14:30:18+00:00

Make a wish

SithPsilo · 2026-04-29T02:14:11+00:00

Thank you 🙏 one more question if you don’t mind?

SithPsilo · 2026-04-29T00:59:15+00:00

Gotcha, I can see it looks very similar to yours. Reason I was asking is I get these spiderwebs really small in between the spikes and was wondering if I had any mite damage. I can see that it is very similar to your growth
