They do bloom, seen both the yellow and orange "forms" in bloom here downunder.

If the leaf is turning brown at the end that you can see hun, just grab hold of the sides of it half way down and push it sideways.
You want the who leaf to come off. if you pull it , it likely to snap and leave a small portion of the leaf behind. This could rot or go mouldy
Just in case you know. .

Re: Help IDing my Cacti please?
Thankyou! I was worried about rotting, hence why I didn't just pull it off in the first place. Don't know how to go about problems, my others have never had any, and I don't want to lose this baby! :')Eutow_Intermedium wrote:If the leaf is turning brown at the end that you can see hun, just grab hold of the sides of it half way down and push it sideways.

A little pink chipped off today, turns out he fades out to a darker on the tips!

Re: Help IDing my Cacti please?
The old leaves eventually shrivel up and die. You could remove it now or let it finish drying up, makes little difference - won't hurt the plant either way.

Re: Help IDing my Cacti please?
I've took it off. I also noticed a split in another leaf that is about 2cm long and 0.5cm wide. I think the leaf may have been bent, but I'm worried I'm overwatering now...greenknight wrote:The old leaves eventually shrivel up and die.

Re: Help IDing my Cacti please?
If you have it in a round plastic tray or saucer. Water it from underneath
They normaly can take a good amount of water , but yes you dont want to over water it.
If you do water it from underneath , that illiminates the chance of leaves under the plant rotting as it will be drier up top.
Like I said if you have a few extra big leaves around the bottom , you can remove say four with that sideways action. You can thenleave them to callous and grow little roots and plantlets , if you should ever want more.
