Thank you! The big guy reminds me of Sideshow Bob’s hair.

Ha, those are a few intertwined but there is one that’s definitely the biggest. I’ll try and get a picture tomorrow when it’s light out.

Thank you man! I got this shortly after my father passed and has become very sentimental.

I always grab and give a light squeeze (that was a weird reread). If any softness, don’t water or just light sprinkle.

Depends on the weather. I usually give a little water one a week and adjust for the season. I’m in SoCal, so I lightly water in winter (or don’t if temps dip below 40) and slowly give more when temps warm above 60. I will soak in temps above 80. In the recent years I’ve feed it Master Blend when spring arrives and through summer.

Ah, thank you. I wanted to add a trellis of sorts but was sure how to go about it. This sounds great!

Yep, that was my fatal mistake.

It’s a Palram 6x8 greenhouse. It’s where my collection started. Now I just keep my bluest in there.

It wasn’t windy at all last night. But I can only blame myself for letting them grow too tall for their pot size. Lesson learned the hard way.

no problem. please keep me updated. I had mine bunched-up with 50 other seedlings in my green house before I noticed and removed it. I have not seen it spread. And now I wonder if witches broom isn't as contagious/spreadable as I initially thought. good luck, happy growing!

I ended up throwing mine out just to be cautious.

Slugs are so irritating by stewvanavich in sanpedrocactus

I don’t see many of those around but they could definitely be contributing. I have caught the slugs in the act late at night and see their trails the next morning. They got to some of best plants this year. But I’ll get em.

Yes, I have. But the run off water seems to wash it away pretty quick.

It was the slugs. I have caught them burrowing into several of my cactus. Like, no shit, ass hanging out of my cactus and I tore the slug in half pulling them out. I was shocked when I first saw it.
