Dropped my baby and it lost all its babies

Post by Nat_Claire »

I accidentally dropped my little cactus and it’s lost all its arms.

Does anyone have any crisis management advice for me? Best way to regrow little arms? Does the mom need any special care now? Etc

Thanks

These are very fagile. Put them on some paper tissue and leave them to dry for a few days and then plant them around the parent plant or individually. Bury the base in the soil.

The plant will also grow new pups without any special care
There is no cactus you can't eat, but you just might regret it if you eat the wrong one.

Here's what it will look like in a month if conditions permit growth.
