Re: I need your suggestion (photos included)

could it be sunburn? I am thinking if it were something like spider mites they would go after the new growth.

Re: Spider mites on the attack?

They are small and red but you should be able to see them moving. Doesn’t sound like mites better to be safe than sorry though.

Re: Can I trick my cactus to bloom?

Temperature can also be a factor for some cactus might need to make it cool.

Re: Newbie Clarifications

The home hardware has it near me but I’m sure a lot of places have it. The stuff I buy is 5kg Beyond Peat Coir Coconut Fibre Soil Supplement.

Re: Newbie Clarifications

I have tried a lot of stuff and I now use coir and chicken grit. two parts grit to coir I am pretty sure it can’t get more simple than that. oh and cactus fertilizer once a month in the summer.

Re: Question about mealies

I had a problem with them before and they seemed to leave my Euphorbias alone. could be they just prefer the others or didn’t get to them yet.

Re: Question about mealies

If they are near the mamm's I would suggest it. The only thing I have noticed mealies not eating are milk blooded cacti. If you don’t have that many cacti just keep a close eye on it Wait and see. Zap them all again if you see any mealies.
