Tephrocactus/ Cylindroptunia watering...
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:33 pm
Hi!
Within the last 30 days I purchased a T. articulatus and a C. fulgida. They were shipped bare root, and I potted them using the 60-20-20 soil I normally use. After planting, I waited 7 days to water. After doing some research, (D's G. and C.A.), it says that they should, in essence, NEVER be watered, once established. It does not specify if this is for potted or xeroscaped cacti. Any suggestions?
Also, if anyone cares to weigh in on this, what is the difference between Optunia, Cylindroptunia, and Austrocylindroptunia? I have at least one of each, and it gets kind of confusing. Thanks in advance! Joseph
