Idk if you know about the trick but my grandfather taught me that if you get some cactus spines stuck in your finger, specifically the thin tiny ones that are hard to see and remove but you can definitely feel they are there, to rub your hair on your head and it can make them come out. I tried it the one time i touched a cactus and it definately worked.

That would make the spines go deeper into your skin. I guess once the spine is pushed deep enough under your skin then you couldn't feel that it's there anymore.

Love your collection! I love the way top dressing looks but I have a hard time deciding when to water when I use it especially with cactus because I can’t squeeze leaves. When will you water and will you keep them on a watering schedule or will you keep them outside?

Жыл бұрын
The cacti i will keep outside. But usually I will notice them kind of shrivel? They look smaller & less plump & that’s when I’ll water. Even when I squeeze them they’re not as hard as usual. I’m not sure I that’s waiting too long, but I don’t want to overwater lol. Recently, being so hot, that has been around every ~10 days

Haworthia roots go hollow once they die off, which they basically do every season or so. Healthy haworthia are constantly losing old roots and growing new ones. Keep the soil gritty and water every 10 or so days and they are the easiest of the collectable succulents in my opinion

Mosquitos breed in still water. Do you have containers with water around your property. It pays to empty them regularly in.hot weather. If you live near a lake or dam not much you can do. I grow citronella and rub thae leaves on my skin when they are bad, which is usually at dusk.
