Cacti and Succulents

Google. cactus rot caused by washing up liquid. Lots of info.

Oh that's good to know. Thank you both v much. I'll put some on perlite or grit and bring it inside and spray then.

Well not quite the next day but here are pics of seed grown echiveria sown 10 months earlier. Half size seed traysEdit : He lied. Top ones are full sized seed trays

Thank you @Selleri , I have several different types of these and many of them flower. Yes they do resemble snowdrops

Rebutia? if so, not very Arizonian

I water when i remeber really same as my two cactus on the windowsill. What feed shall i use never fed it.

Looks a bit like a money tree, you dont actually prune them, although you can if you want to.Any cut off pieces make good cuttings.

Thank you Yes the taller one is an aloe and when I bought the smaller one the label said it was a Gasteria Okavango. I have moved them to a shadier area of the room, and the aloe seems to be going greener already but the smaller one has no change yet. I watered them a couple of days ago so I...

Thank you i will do it tomorrow

Well @pete, that's all it seems to need

Little way of an update, managed to take two cuttings from the droopy cactus and a few leaves, and all have rooted . Only one leaf from the other succulent took root but they’re all looking good and should have a few more cactus to add to my collection

If the wet continues for more than a few days I'd consider bringing them under cover, but for a while they will be okay.

Hi,If you google "cactus in terrarium" there are loads of examples and ytubes for doing that.
