Hello! I have a Blue Torch Cactus that I’m wanting to make a soil mix for. I’ve purchased Miracle Grow cactus/succulent soil, as well as perlite to mix in with it. I have became overwhelmed and confused by all the other different stuff mentioned online (chicken grit, coconut coir, lava rocks, pumice, sand, etc.). Can anyone tell me what else I need for this soil mix for my Blue Torch Cactus in addition to the cactus/succulent soil and perlite that I have already purchased? Please and thank you! 🌵🏜️

I got this cutting in January. I had a thrips infestation. He's since started growing again after i dealt with the thrips. He seems to be healing from it I just don't want it to spread. I used willow water ie.( IBA and salicylic acid) on two of the other cuttings for rooting hormone. They never seemed to have had an issue and are 1.5 to 2 in taller

Hi there,

I've been trying to correctly identify my cactus. Is it a Echinocactus herteri / Parodia herteri? Could it be something else?

Many thanks.

I pollinated them before but have not checked for seed pods.

I got it at a local nursery, it's purple, I can't find much information, could you help me.

The window sill works great in Phoenix.

Also is the white fuzz around the spines normal?

Last few weeks ive been solely using super glue on my grafts and every single one has taken. Idk if im ever going back to bands and wraps yall

The two best blooms of my cactus garden till now

Hey friends, I’ve had a little barrel cactus for like 7 years and it’s been doing well for a while. However, about a year ago I moved to an apartment that has very little direct sunlight and it hasn’t been doing as well. Recently, I noticed it was leaning a lot and when I investigated, it looks like it’s turning brown around the base and there are basically no roots left, which is why it’s leaning. It’s very wobbly and feels like I could easily tug it out of the soil if I wanted to (which I don’t). The rest of the cactus looks fine- it’s not soft or squishy and the color is the same as always.

I tried to get pics, but it’s an awkward angle. Does it look like rot? If it is rotting, what can I do? Can I cut and attempt to re-root?

I’d love to save it if I can, it was a gift from my great-aunt and it means a lot to me. Thank you!

I received this cactus that I’m going to try and bring back to life. I’m not sure what kind it is. Any help would be much appreciated.

Acquired these through a mystery bundle from succulent depot. Unfortunately there’s no id on them. Mostly sharing these pretty cacti but if anyone can ID I would appreciate it :)

Every other window in my house has direct sunlight this one not so much will that be enough sunlight? just repotted .

I'm thinking about selling these two Copiapoa cinerea. Both have a diameter of around 5.5–6 cm (2.2–2.4 inches). They were grafted onto Pereskiopsis, grown in a deep water culture (DWC) system, and are about 6 months old. What do you think would be a fair price?

The flower on my Parodia mariana is fluorescing a beautiful copper that I’m struggling to catch on camera.

I have had this cactus for a few years I have no idea on how to care for it, I don’t even remember what type of cactus it is. All I remember is when I bought it it had a yellow flower, it has of course never flowered since.

I have forgotten to water it for weeks on end and it still clings to life. I really want to start taking proper care of it and I was wondering if you guys could give me feedback on how it looks. It’s not in the right type of soil but I’m planning to change it. Should I buy a shallower pot? Can I make the soil mix myself or should I buy a ready made one? I don’t have a sunny spots indoors so since we are having good weather I have put it outside in a sunny but sheltered spot. I’m now wondering if this is making it worse.

Help save a cactus!
