Re: Repeat offender, Opuntia?
The collapsed base is firm and doesn't give to any pressure. The new pads are a normal firmness, and the black patches are the same consistency. If it grows a new pad I will remove it right away to try and grow and entirely new plant. Thanks for the tip!

Repeat offender, Opuntia?
Happy summer everyone! I have here what I believe is an opuntia with a repeating problem. I rescued it from a hoarded house, and the base of the plant is a collapsed pad from a previous near-death experience. Since I have had it, lavished it with lots of TLC, it has managed to grow two new pads over...

Worst luck at growing from seed
I have attempted to grow cacti from seed at least four times, and the same thing always happens to them. Granted, I got the seeds from a supermarket in a kit and may not have been the best seeds, but I am sure the fault is mine. When the seedlings are about an inch tall, they will inevitably 'deflat...

Peanut cactus turning brownish and scaly
Hello all, I have been putting off seeking advice on this subject, as I thought I could turn things around by moving this plant to a different location, repotting it, and seeing what happens. It hasn't improved much, and I am at a loss as to what is going on. It appears to be a sunburned plant, but ...

I recently acquired a whole bunch of 'rescue' cacti. Some I have never seen before! I am going to inquire about this one first. perhaps a Rebutia? I know thats a huge family but that's all I got so far

Crassula Tetragona, losing its needles?
Ive got a lovely crassula tetragona in my possession that I have had for a few years. Over the last year or so, it has shed alot of its 'needles' and so now, it has a tall stalk with needles only at the ends. It looks pretty sad, and I know that they can keep them down the whole stalk; so what has h...
