I agree with you. Maybe it got some other problem, I don't know. When I left, it was fine, rooting and not shriveled at all. No signs of rotting, no parasites... When I got back, it was 1/10 of it's original volume, totally dried out :shock: The tiny roots too, dried out... It was indoor, in the sam...

update on this one
I was away from home for a month and left my brother in charge of watering and checking the plants.
Well, most of the plants are okay. This one was totally dried out :(
*note to self: do NOT leave good re-rooting plant attended by bro for more than a week* :roll:

ok, I wanted to visit the Kews this morning but-uh.... the weather seems 'about to snow' again, lol... I should have changed schedule and visited yesterday morning. Well, I still have 1 week left in London before I fly back to Italy. I'm sure there'll be nicer days ;) Addendum edit: 15 minutes after...

new roots

I'm not sure this is the right section, the post might go into the Cutting/Rooting section. Sorry :D About 3 months ago I inherited a bunch of mini cacti from a neighbor, I already posted about that. Well, one rotted 2 months ago, and it was probably already rotting when I got it. The little Polaski...
