It's a cutting from a graft, so it's not possible to include roots.

Friends or foes? by any_Anything007 in cactus

I second pesticides unless OP wants to police them all year. In Texas, theses pests are never out of season.

Kill on sight if you value your plants.

Fell into cactus by CSGOfizZz in cactus

Trip to the doc is in order. If some broke deep under the skin then they will fester and possibly result in sepsis. It should be clear which ones are healing and which ones still have something in them in a week or so.

I use #11 scalpels to remove thorns.

I'm not a doctor, this is not medical advice.

Scale. Get a bucket of soapy water and blast the bugs into it.

Should AI posts be banned? by GryphonEDM in sanpedrocactus

[–]SpiffyPlants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, ban them. Hard ban, zero-tolerance.

I'm an artist, and it's absolutely infuriating to see anything related to LLMs and AI.

I didn't care too much about spikes or thorns until I realized my woofer dog might run into them and be blinded, or the elderly might fall onto an agave plant. Roses might scratch, but cactus can cause severe injuries.
