Re: Is this Melo plumping?

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't look like it is plumping up. I think it may have lost it's roots.

Re: Leaning tower of Oreocereus celsianus

if you were going to sell it on ebay it might be best to cut it and offer the top 10 to 12 inches and stick the bottom half back into the Earth.

I'm sure glad the plant started growing again..probably helps t...

LOOK at the dry and crumbly sore.

Please take a look at this nasty looking brown, dry and somewhat crumbly sore on the base of one of my smaller cacti. The sore is larger than a dime but smaller than a nickel. It’s been there for about 3 years and doesn’t appear to be getting much if any worse than when I first spotted it. The plant...

Re: pachypodium lamerei issues

It may just be normal leaf loss. I water them frequently when the top is bright green & actively growing, then much-much less when dormant. I was frying one in a greenhouse for a while and the leaf tips turned black, then after I put it in a cooler spot with less sunshine it really took off and ...

Re: Be careful what you spray

I don't thnk you can go wrong using Imidacloprid. I have heard negative stuff on the use oils on cacti skin or on their roots but I have no experience with the stuff. The alcohol should be fine as long as you don't over-do-it, I use it myself upon occasion.
