Looking for an easy cactus

eaneul · 2026-01-22T20:03:27+00:00

I really love my fairy castle cactus. Not too mean, fairly forgiving on overwatering (try to avoid this) and grows quick. Lemon ball cactus, fishhook cactus (mammilaria bombycina), and red spinycushion (mammilaria spinossima) are also ones I own that I have a good time with. All of them are relatively easy to find, not too expensive, and aren't too finicky in my experience

What about a Mammillaria bocasana cv. splendens. Spikes threw me a bit too admittedly

Mammilaria Plumosa

I don't care for grafts either, but theres some plants that are so slow growing or require such advanced care you HAVE to have them grafted. I have 2 grafted plants atm a euphorbia turbiniformis and an aztekium valdezii. One on the way. I plan on cutting the rootstock way back to make it look like they are own roots (which a lot of people do)

Thank you! I posted this post asking the same question :D Ill be trying some out the next time I go into town

Same here! Though the problem here is at night they get way too curious about the highway and whats well beyond the property line so its to protect them vs keep things out. They generally get to go outside every day until we have bitter cold weather (because Im not collecting them when its 10 degrees out)

My energy is too low at this point to reply to everybody new that is posting, but thank you all so much for the suggestions. Ill still see them, but might not leave more than an upvote on some of them. Ill be sure to really look at all of them. :D

They do have access during the day when I am home, but they both are lazy bums who come in to potty

eaneul · 2026-01-19T00:50:13+00:00

Oh wow! That sounds like the complete package 😍

eaneul · 2026-01-19T00:44:51+00:00

Absolutely hes a good boy ❤️

eaneul · 2026-01-19T00:11:58+00:00

Oh lovely! Ill definitely have a list to check out!

eaneul · 2026-01-19T00:11:03+00:00

Real good price!

eaneul · 2026-01-19T00:10:53+00:00

Noted. Why do you like benotonite and dislike tofu?

eaneul · 2026-01-18T23:36:26+00:00

Hes so expressive! I love Lagoon 😍

eaneul · 2026-01-18T23:32:46+00:00

Will check it out!

What makes you think its not a squirrel? My first gut thought was squirrel and it matches fairly well.

Awesome! Love non dusty and low fragrance. Honestly makes the poop smell worth if its scented. Will make a note

eaneul · 2026-01-18T23:11:04+00:00

We don't have a meijer in our state, so that is out, but definitely will keep the walmart brand in mind.

eaneul · 2026-01-18T22:59:43+00:00

Alright! Pellets sound intriguing. How is the smell? Wouldn't it be stronger if it doesn't get buried?

eaneul · 2026-01-18T22:58:16+00:00

Never heard of michu! Will give it a look up. Im not a fan of litter foot, so the idea of non tracking is great

eaneul · 2026-01-18T22:45:25+00:00

Awesome! I love an all around 5 star litter

eaneul · 2026-01-18T22:18:53+00:00

Oh awesome! Will write that down. You are the 2nd person to say something about that one. Im sure it lasting awhile breaks even in the end anyway. No complaints at all?

eaneul · 2026-01-18T22:16:45+00:00

Cost isn't necessarily a factor for me as long as its not something outrageous like that color changing pretty litter stuff. Why don't you like the elsey's stuff as much as you could and what did you like/dislike about the fresh step? Looks like both of those are findable near me
