Hello and sorry that your cactus had this cat accident! I can tell you my cats have scarred some of my favorite cacti through the years and have eaten some succs also, so I understand. But in my opinion, gathering some of the basic ingredients is not difficult, you can make a pretty decent cactus s...

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Hey Everyone, I have a bit of an urgent situation going on with my grafted cactus. I went out for the day and came home to find it had been knocked off my windowsill and completely spilled from it's tiny pot. The plant itself seems fine, but of course, my cat's managed to track the dirt all through ...

Welcome! Nice to meet a fellow Canadian

Wow, those flowers are beautiful!

Thanks for the welcome guys!
