Please take a "symptomatic" cactus out of the soil and photograph it. Showing as much as possible of the root system and the base of the plant. There is a water fungus named Rhizoctonia solani, which does cause the death of very young plants and will manifest itself on a plant, displaying...

http://imgur.com/a/qU4ky I have 7 of these little cacti I've raised from seeds and these 3 were leaning a bit which I thought was because i had to bring them in from the rain so they were just after some sun, but they haven't gotten better and the way their bases look has me really worried. Is this ...

There's a creek near by but oh god I can just imagine the mosquitos. But I know I've seen clay down there so I will go check it out sometime, thanks for the tip! The website I ordered the seeds from recommended to use 100% mineral soil with fertilizer, and I know of another person growing them in 10...

Hi! I was looking into growing monilaria moniliformis because they are the cutest plant I have ever seen, and I was recommended to use 100% diatomaceous earth-type cat litter.

I went back to college today but I'll get my mom to water them tomorrow, since it's basically spring and it's been a week since I repotted them I think they should be goo...

Hi! I've been growing these cactuses from seeds and they're about 3 years old and I've just repotted them in a 50/50 mix of potting soil and perlite. Even before I repotted them I noticed they were much darker than they were months ago, I thought this was from being in my dorm room and not getting e...

Hi. So a couple days ago I purchased a little cactus at a Wallgreens store, and I have no idea what kind it is. I really don't know anything about cacti, so I've been reading about how to take care of them and stuff, but I looked around the internet and couldn't figure out what this one was. He look...
