Re: Plumping up Opuntia paddles

This even works if we as humans drink distilled water, your lips will swell as well as your tongue and throat as water rushes into the tissues ( so don't try this at home-or anywhere really).
But rainwater is (regarding salts at least) distilled water. That would mean you ca't drink rainwater???

Re: Cacti for sale in Europe/Scandinavia- were do they come from?

I have noticed that many (small) succulent plants (at Plantagen at least) originates from Denmark - now that they have a plant passport label (marked -DK)
