Have anyone tried. . . Epsom Salt with cacti ?
Howdy! I have read a lot of good things about Epsom salt for plants and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with it with cactus. I read that 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water is a good formula for potted plants. I got the following from one of the web sites: (This is straight from epsoms...

I only had this bleaching problem with several of the same type of cactus (that I havent been able to ID yet) and also with a Totem Pole (Lophocereus schottii). Perhaps I should try t...

Cacti with alcohol problems
Hi there, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/MHPhotos2004/1Bleached.jpg No, it is not an albino! Today I spent the day killing mealies with rubbing alcohol (70%) and a few of my cactus got their skin quite dry, lost their shine and got "lightly" bleached. :roll: The procedure that I us...

I think it will be interesting to see if they will double their current size. I will be jumping in and out as time allows me to. Thanks Harry :thumbup: Hi peterb!...

Thanks guys you're all great! :thumbup: Your growing tips will be very useful! As I transplanted it to the plastic pot I just removed the whole plant with its own soil and actually moved it to the plastic pot in order not to disturb it much.
