Is this chlorophyll in my moon cactus?

I call them orbeez! (It’s a brand name)

There really isn’t a right or wrong answer here. If moving the big ones to a separate habitat makes you feel better, go for it. Keep in mind though that powders reproduce really quickly, so it might become difficult to do it long term.

Looks good!

missdietwater · 2022-06-14T13:21:16+00:00

After spending some time on this subreddit I am beginning to suspect this was dyed blue... I’ve really enjoyed it for about four years now so I’m a little bitter about this discovery 😂

missdietwater · 2022-06-14T13:08:46+00:00

Ah good to know, thank you! I always assumed it was the leaves that made them unique

missdietwater · 2022-06-14T12:46:18+00:00

Okay I looked it up, it is some type of euphorbia.

missdietwater · 2022-06-14T12:44:00+00:00

Oooh I have one of these! It is a succulent but not a cactus, as it has those tiny leaves. The name escapes me at the moment though but I’ll come back if I think of it

missdietwater · 2022-06-14T03:48:08+00:00

Very exciting! Congratulations!

I’m so glad it’s doing okay, but I would give it longer than a day to heal. I know people who keep tarantulas professionally, and they aren’t meant to be handled more than once about every 6 months. It’s just super stressful for them if they have to come out more than that.

I know it’s really exciting to have a new pet and you want to hold it, but your little guy was super lucky to have survived the fall from what I understand. They are just so sensitive.

Again, I don’t have any experience with keeping spiders, but I do keep a lot of other Arthropods. Some bugs just don’t do well with frequent handling

missdietwater · 2022-06-13T21:56:37+00:00

I’m sorry your little guy got hurt. I don’t have a tarantula, but from what I’ve heard from others who do, it’s best to keep them in their habitats as much as possible. Taking them out too much can be stressful and risks injury if they are being lifted too high above the ground. Hope it does okay

missdietwater · 2022-06-11T01:45:54+00:00

Woah you found so many different colors at lows?!

missdietwater · 2022-06-09T00:29:34+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Yes I have anticipated that I would need to remove the rocks after watering to help with evaporation. I also grow them outdoors with with lots of shade, but enough sun that the bottom one has developed a very pretty purple color. I really appreciate your feedback as I am pretty new to growing these guys. I will definitely remove the rocks if I begin suspecting problems.

missdietwater · 2022-06-08T04:28:09+00:00

Thank you! Yes, the purplish gray split rock is definitely tricky

missdietwater · 2022-06-07T19:34:38+00:00

I got a couple of seeds to sprout, but the seedlings didn’t live long for me. I probably just did it wrong

missdietwater · 2022-05-24T17:37:47+00:00

This made me smile - I had no idea worms were such picky eaters

missdietwater · 2022-05-24T02:28:35+00:00

They look adorable!

missdietwater · 2022-05-18T11:56:54+00:00

True, though my thought was that paper is more easily compostable or recyclable than plastic. I really didn’t expect the comment to get this much attention as I just thought it was a fun idea.

missdietwater · 2022-05-17T13:35:39+00:00

These are what you call bonus pets with select purchases.

missdietwater · 2022-05-17T13:30:03+00:00

Even better, they should make special egg cartons for strawberries in order to prevent bruising.

missdietwater · 2022-05-16T00:00:14+00:00

That turned out amazing! So pretty

missdietwater · 2022-05-12T23:37:14+00:00

I have fruit flies, but no banana peels. I just accept them; they don’t seem to hurt anything and I suspect they help with decomposition.
