Damaged root advice

Post by duckworth »

Hello everyone! :)

Can anyone give advice on cactus roots? I have a cactus that was repotted a while ago and it's finally rooted nicely and is firm in the pot. However, it has been pushed around twice by the cat, and now it's quite loose. Not completely loose, but it's easy to move back and forth slightly. I wouldn't say the root system is totally ruined, but it's not 'anchored' now.

Will this damage affect the plant and how it grows?

Thanks very much for the help!

Lay off watering for a week and then resume yiur schedule if it' s the growing season. Your plant should be fine. It will root again no problem, If not now then next spring.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
